If you’re looking to invest or lease commercial property in Townsville, understanding where the market is moving can give you a strategic edge. Certain suburbs and streets are becoming commercial hotspots, thanks to infrastructure upgrades, residential expansion, and increased business activity. Here’s where we’re seeing the most momentum.

Garbutt – The Industrial Powerhouse Garbutt remains one of Townsville’s strongest-performing industrial areas. Its proximity to the airport, major arterial roads, and port facilities make it an ideal location for logistics, trades, and distribution businesses. With high-clearance warehouses and solid demand from tenants, Garbutt continues to attract serious investor interest.

Hyde Park & Hermit Park – The Medical and Professional Precinct These two neighbouring suburbs are becoming go-to zones for medical and allied health services, professional offices, and boutique retail. Their central location, generous parking, and ease of access make them a smart alternative to the CBD, especially for businesses wanting to avoid inner-city congestion.

CBD – Revitalisation in Motion Townsville’s CBD is undergoing a slow but steady transformation, with increased attention on activation, beautification, and redevelopment. New hospitality venues, upgraded public spaces, and a growing push toward mixed-use developments are making the city core more appealing for offices, retailers, and creatives.

Idalia & Fairfield – Growing with the Community These rapidly growing residential suburbs are supporting increased demand for commercial amenities. Small shopping precincts, health services, and childcare centres are expanding alongside the population. For investors, these suburbs present an opportunity to secure property in areas poised for long-term growth.

Charters Towers Road – The Emerging Commercial Strip This busy arterial road stretches through several suburbs and is quickly gaining popularity for high-exposure commercial sites. From showrooms to offices and retail outlets, Charters Towers Road offers strong visibility and consistent traffic flow—a key consideration for businesses that rely on drive-by awareness.
