Brisbane Economic Development Agency State of The City Report 2025

Brisbane has long been where opportunity meets lifestyle. It is now also Australia’s fastest growing capital city, with net migration outpacing Sydney and Melbourne every year since 2018.

The latest State of the City report shows Brisbane’s economy has passed $200 billion, underpinned by strong population growth and more than $100 billion in projects across transport, health, housing and commercial development. Add to this: prime office rents 50% lower than Sydney, and Brisbane becomes a compelling city for businesses to relocate and expand.

For real estate investors, these are powerful fundamentals and exactly why Natgen Investment Trust SG25 made it through our rigorous Natgen Selection Criteria.

With billions flowing into city-shaping projects, Brisbane is building a future where businesses, families and investors all thrive. At Natgen, we continue to invest in South-East Queensland, as reflected in both our Natgen Investment Trusts and upcoming project pipeline in Natgen Development Trusts.
