Rooming House Petrie - 5 Suite

Land Purchase and Subdivision to Build Rooming Houses

The transformation on Old Dayboro Rd, Petrie began with the purchase of a spacious block containing an old relocatable home. While modest in its original state—surrounded by scattered trees and overgrown grass—the site held enormous potential to deliver much-needed quality housing in the thriving Petrie community.

Subdivision and Planning

Through careful planning and expert consultation, the block was successfully subdivided into two equal lots. Each parcel was primed for development, ensuring compliance with local zoning laws while maximising the land’s value. This strategic move laid the groundwork for the creation of two purpose-built rooming houses.

Construction Phase

Construction soon commenced, with foundations poured and structures steadily taking form. Designed with modern living in mind, each rooming house features five self-contained suites, thoughtfully arranged to provide privacy, comfort, and access to shared communal spaces. Every detail reflects a commitment to high-quality construction and long-term durability.

Completion and Location Advantage

What once held a single 3-bedroom home will soon accommodate up to 10 residents across two stylish, fully compliant rooming houses. Ideally positioned near The Mill at Moreton Bay, one of South-East Queensland’s fastest-growing urban renewal precincts, the project benefits from proximity to a new university campus, transport links, retail, and employment hubs. This prime location not only ensures strong rental demand but also unlocks huge investment potential for long-term growth and consistent yields.
