What if I told you that right now, quietly but powerfully, one of the biggest investment opportunities in Australian property is unfolding in plain sight?

While most people are focused on the day-to-day news cycle, savvy investors are looking a few years ahead, to 2032, when Brisbane will step onto the global stage to host the Olympic and Paralympic Games.

But here’s the thing: the real gold rush isn’t during the Games — it’s the decade leading up to them.

Billions of dollars are already pouring into infrastructure. Suburbs are being transformed. Jobs are being created. And investor interest is quietly surging — before the rest of the world catches on.

In today’s show I’m joined by Brett Warren, National Director of Property at Metropole and one of the sharpest minds in strategic property investment, to help you cut through the headlines and zero in on where the real opportunities lie.

Whether you’re already in the Brisbane market or wondering if now’s the time to act, this episode could be a game-changer for your investment journey.
