Rancho Cordova unveils Downtown Dova project plans

The Queensland Government has officially opened Expressions of Interest for the landmark Gabba Entertainment Precinct — a world‑class, 9‑hectare mixed‑use redevelopment anchored by a 17,000‑seat indoor arena in Woolloongabba. Designed to be delivered ahead of the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the project will reshape Brisbane’s inner‑city living and entertainment experience. With direct connections to Cross River Rail, Clem7 Tunnel, and the South East Busway, the precinct will become a seamless urban hub linking South Bank, the CBD, and Fortitude Valley. Once complete, the new arena will replace the ageing Brisbane Entertainment Centre and bring new life to Gabba West and East — evolving into a vibrant community with residential, commercial, and hospitality precincts surrounded by public green spaces. This multi‑billion-dollar investment aligns with Brisbane’s booming $201 billion economy, supporting the state’s vision of delivering 1 million new homes by 2044 while fueling tourism, lifestyle, and property growth across South East Queensland. For property investors, developers, and residents alike, the Gabba Entertainment Precinct signals a powerful shift toward urban integration and lifestyle living, setting the tone for Brisbane’s next growth decade. 📍 At The Urban Land Queensland, we track major developments shaping our region’s future — helping buyers and investors discover where opportunity meets growth. #GabbaEntertainmentPrecinct #UrbanLandQLD #Brisbane2032 #SEQGrowth #InfrastructureQLD #BrisbaneDevelopment #InvestmentOpportunity #CityTransformation #LifestyleLivingQLD #QueenslandFuture

#EllandRoad Regeneration Plans Set to Attract Billions in #Investment, New #Homes and #Leisure Opportunities. #LeedsCityCouncil has opened a public consultation on updated planning guidance aimed at transforming the area surrounding #EllandRoad football stadium, in a move that could unlock a multi-billion pound boost to the city’s economy. The proposals include the potential development of up to 2,000 new homes, alongside major leisure and commercial opportunities. The consultation focuses on the ‘Elland Road 2025 Informal Planning Statement’ — a key document that will shape the future regeneration of approximately 30 acres of land around the stadium, much of which is owned by the council. If adopted, the refreshed guidance could pave the way for a vibrant new neighbourhood, with a mix of residential developments, enhanced public spaces, and community facilities that are fully integrated with the surrounding area. The draft planning document also highlights a range of potential uses for the site, including major leisure developments such as a community sports arena, hotel accommodation, and modern workspaces. These proposals align with the global trend of leveraging sports and football stadiums as catalysts for regeneration and long-term investment. There is also scope for educational facilities focused on sport, health, and wellbeing https://lnkd.in/gFrBCRDe #LeedsNews #LeedsStar #LeedsStarNewspaper #LeedsCityCouncil #VisitLeeds #Leeds

Geographic Strategy Deep Dive From Devon coast to Thames Valley - why our M4 corridor strategy is delivering results. Most property developers stick to one area. We deliberately don't. Here's why geographic diversification works: Devon Coast (Ilfracombe): Tourism demand driving rental yields Coastal lifestyle premium Limited supply, growing demand Holiday let + residential flexibility Somerset Market Towns (Frome, Trowbridge): London commuter belt expansion Historic charm + modern connectivity Affordability compared to Bath/Bristol Strong local employment + transport links South Wales Valleys: Regeneration investment flowing in Cardiff overspill demand Value opportunities with development potential Government backing for regional growth Thames Valley (Reading): Tech sector employment hub Crossrail connectivity to London Corporate relocation destination Consistent rental demand The strategy: Each market serves different investor needs and risk profiles. Coastal for lifestyle, market towns for growth, valleys for value, Thames Valley for stability. Result: £11.24M GDV secured across diverse markets = reduced risk, multiple opportunities, consistent pipeline. Single market investors miss opportunities. Multi-market developers create them. Which UK regions do you see the most opportunity in right now?
