Investors

Here’s ten reasons to own acreage homes in the Lockyer Valley:

1. The Fastest Growing Part of Queensland

We have investors from all over the country who keep coming back to the Lockyer Valley. Find out more about this growth area by checking out the Lockyer Valley Economic Development Plan.

2. Commutable to Brisbane, Ipswich & Toowoomba

  • 40 Minutes to Toowoomba CBD

  • 60 Minutes to Brisbane CBD

  • 30 Minutes to Ipswich CBD

3. Large Land Component

Plainland has growing high-density residential developments with regular suburban lot sizes close to the new secondary college, which is expected to eventually have over 800 students.

Recent planning approvals in nearby rural-residential areas now allow for lot sizes down to 3,000 sqm. So we’re not expecting 4,000 sqm to be the norm forever, but we still have some available within walking distance to the new school.

4. Low Investor to Owner Occupier Ratios

Unlike some developments, our approach ensures that owner occupancy rates in our development areas remain high. We work with local land owners to apply consistent development standards to numerous smaller parcels of land amongst already owner occupied properties.  We then actively market the same new homes to both owner occupiers and investors.

5. Low Price Point

There’s a stark contrast between mainstream developments in South East QLD and what’s on offer for the same cost or less from FGS Developments in the Lockyer Valley.  As families from surrounding areas see how much more home and lifestyle is available to them, it’s no wonder the Lockyer Valley is the fastest growing part of Queensland.

6. Positive Cash Flow

Positive cash-flow doesn’t have to mean low quality, high maintenance older homes.

9. Low Maintenance

10. Bank Friendly
