Brisbane Office Space
Brisbane is the capital of Queensland, and the third most populous city in Australia.
The economy is dominated by IT, finance and administration. Brisbane also has a strong industrial sector, which covers petroleum refining, mining and resources, paper milling and metalworking.
The city is home to a number of higher education institutions and industry-specific research facilities, such as the Brisbane Technology Park, University of Queensland and the Health & Food Sciences Precinct.
Businesses headquartered here include Laing O'Rourke, Australia’s largest privately-owned engineering and construction company; Suncorp, one of Australia’s largest banks; Flight Centre; and Virgin Australia.
The location
Bisane is situated on the east coast of Australia, in the south-east corner of the state of Queensland.
The Brisbane River runs through the city, leading to the Port of Brisbane, one of the country’s fastest growing container ports.
The airport is located 12km from the CBD, and the city is well served by bus, ferry and rail connections.
Looking for an office in Brisbane?
The Brisbane office market is steadily growing, with the addition of new office buildings in the area.
The CBD is a good option for businesses looking to establish themselves in Brisbane, due to ease of access, local amenities and the surrounding companies.
However, prices in the CBD tend to be higher, so it all depends on a company’s budget and requirements.
It is location rather than postcode that is valued in Brisbane. There is not the same emphasis on postcode as there is in the UK and London. Companies of certain stature and size will be looking for a CBD presence and address.
