JAMES STREET PRECINCT BRISBANELOCATION AND MARKET OVERVIEW
JAMES STREET PRECINCT LOCATION & MARKET OVERVIEW1
JAMES STREET ONE OF BRISBANE’S PREMIER RETAIL PRECINCTSSituated in the urban renewal precinct of Fortitude Valley, the James Street Precinct is located approximately one kilometre from Brisbane’s CBD. Offering a mixture of specialty retail and food and beverage facilities, a key anchor of the precinct is the James Street Market which provides five fresh food retailers, whilst a further six restaurants, eight cafes and bars and 35 specialty retail tenants extend along each side of James Street.
The precinct also comprises a selection of other uses which include industry or education establishments (such as the James Street Cooking School and other Colleges and services) as well as beauty/health, interior and exterior design and home wares and furniture stores.
Furthermore, there are two art galleries and a four screen cinema which is operated by Palace Cinemas.
The region immediately surrounding the James Street Precinct has undergone a significant change of face since 2002, partly brought about by the residential population growth and the tightly held retail offering within the James Street Precinct. Since 2002 approximately 40,000m2 of retail space, and 100,000m2 of commercial space has been delivered in the surrounding precinct. More recently since 2010, approximately 760 residential dwellings have entered the James Street Precinct – with the retail and lifestyle amenity on offer providing a strong driver for residential development.

The annual average price growth indicates the capital growth per annum broken down into holding periods of 2, 5, 10 & 15 year periods with the initial two years indicating the highest levels of annual growth, followed by a reducing figure as inconsistent level of new stock entered the market within the precinct. The 15-year growth of 4.4 per cent represents strong annual growth, and is in line with the introduction of the Fortitude Valley Urban Renewal Precinct and introduction of major mixed-use developments delivered in the three stages of Centro on James Street.
The Apartment Sales Cycle to the right, identifies the median apartment price on annual basis for new apartment projects within the James Street Precinct. The graph identifies the median price growth between June 2000 and December 2015 as well as overlaying a number of key historic announcements and development milestones within the precinct as well as some key macro-economic that may have impacted the median apartment price.
The Sales Cycle displays elements of how some of these factors may have affected the James Street Precinct apartment market and created structural uplift within the precinct.
New apartments located within the James Street Precinct have registered strong median price growth since the launch of major retail anchors, Centro on James and the James Street Markets in the early 2000’s.

4JAMES STREET PRECINCT LOCATION & MARKET OVERVIEW
The structural uplift becomes prominent as the completion of the staged Centro on James Street completed in the early 2000’s. This paired with the overarching announcement of the Fortitude Valley Urban Renewal initiative and launch of the Emporium development on Ann Street allowed the residential apartment market to record strong price growth between 2000 and 2006.
Between 2006 and 2010, the James Street Precinct’s apartment market saw dramatic fluctuation in price due to both, the limited new apartment product entering the market and the uncertainty surrounding the overall economy throughout 2008 and 2009 which left potential investors sitting on their hands, unsure of investment potential within the precinct.
From 2010, the James Street Precinct has gone from strength to strength, with the large scale residential developments including M&A and Mosaic both setting the benchmark for future density within the precinct.
Development applications totalling more than $50M across 2013 and 2014 have similarly increased confidence to invest in the precinct. This paired with the introduction of new first-class retail brands and refurbishment of existing retail and commercial buildings have all played a role in the 7.8% per annum apartment price increase that has been recorded in the last 24 months.

JAMES STREET PRECINCT LOCATION & MARKET OVERVIEW5
JAMES STREET DEMOGRAPHICSAt the time of the 2001 Census the largest demographic in Fortitude Valley was residents aged 20 to 29 years of age equating to approximately 26 per cent of the population. Significantly, the next largest demographics were residents aged 30 to 39 years of age (22.1 per cent). This highlighted a significant younger population present within the suburb, which increased further come the 2006 Census due to the period of Urban Renewal which the James Street Precinct and Fortitude Valley was undertaking. This period saw a number of the older demographic leave the precinct, with the increasingly trendy James Street Precinct registering a heavy increase in the 20 to 34 age group, making up over 43 per cent of the resident population.
The Census data 2011 however indicates that whilst the younger demographics are by the far the highest proportion of the population with 25 to 34 years old making up over 32 per cent of the population – many of the older age brackets are seeing increased growth.
Substantial price growth and rate of new apartment sales have increased since 2011 demonstrating continued demographic shift of high income earning young professionals choosing to reside within walking distance to the James Street Precinct.

AGE DISTRIBUTIONJAMES STREET PRECINCT
This could be for a number of reasons, however it is essentially based around the tendency for those living in convenient, and high amenity density lifestyles to remain there for longer periods and not necessarily move on to detached dwellings as the traditional dwelling cycle may have once dictated.
The chart below demonstrates the annual household income for the James Street Precinct over a time series of Australian Bureau of Statistics Census periods including 2001, 2006 and 2011.

This dramatic household earning increase over $104,000 per annum has aligned with the maturing demographic indicated in the Age Distribution chart to the far left, and the increased earning capacity these demographics provide. The number of high wealth households are in stark contrast to the demographics that the James Street Precinct once represented which interestingly coincide with the development of the James Street retail precinct suggesting the introduction of larger scale high end retail has worked complimented the increase in higher earning residents.

JAMES STREET PRECINCT RESIDENTIAL IMPACT
Key fundamentals are often targeted by smart investors in identifying regions that will be the most desirable to live, work and play – providing security on their investment.
Within walking distance to one of Brisbane leading retail and lifestyle precincts will continue to drive the density residential market and likely drive further apartment price growth moving forward.
Residential development in the James Street Precinct is set to continue moving forward, with more than 1,700 apartment sales recorded over the period since 2001, paired with increases in price point and rate of sales that has been recorded over the last three years, the James Street Precinct is well placed to capitalise on its strong retail and lifestyle offering, paired with its increasing level of high income middle aged adults to occupy future apartment developments.
In addition, and as noted previously within this report, pioneering developments often occur in precincts that are primed for urban renewal/regeneration. For those pioneering developments that fulfil the criteria of master planned developments, they are quite often catalysts for growth within their precinct.
Part of structural uplift is the idea of place making – how well planned and executed Master Planned developments create desirable, lifestyle driven precinct, essentially they are creating a destination. Whatever the mix of employment (commercial), entertainment or retail uses; for residents of the development as well as the surrounding area, these developments are a self-contained destination – it really is the best of both worlds.
Whilst the risks are high for the developers, when developments are planned around precincts such as James Street, the rewards are equally as high, with many of these developments leveraging from the transforming areas of Brisbane, redefining regions, and improving the quality and way in which its residents live their lives.
