Positioned at 102 Anzac Avenue, the expansive 4,047sqm landholding sits directly adjoining Redcliffe Hospital and within a tightly held medical and commercial hub. Offering dual street frontage to Anzac Avenue and Sheehan Street, a 21-metre height allowance and flexible Centre (Health) zoning, the property presents significant scope for high-density outcomes including medical, mixed-use, short-term accommodation and residential development.
The site is being offered via an Offers to Purchase campaign and is expected to attract strong interest from both developers looking to activate the site immediately and investors seeking to land-bank while benefiting from a holding income of approximately $165,000 per annum across multiple tenancies.
For sellers Ray and Faye Scheiwe, the sale represents a deeply personal milestone, closing the chapter on a family legacy that spans four generations and dates back to 1880.
“As an end of an era of a family business that is fourth generation, started in 1880, it creates a closure of many changes, happy memories and business achievements,” Faye said.
Operating from the site for decades through Redcliffe Steel and Redcliffe Cranes, the Scheiwe family played a role in shaping both the local community and key projects across Queensland. Among the earliest works was helping deliver critical infrastructure to the Peninsula.
“Early days saw Redcliffe Steel lay the sewerage pipes from Clontarf to Duffield Road when sewerage was finally brought to the Redcliffe Peninsula. This required skilled welding in situ, with welders working in trenches - something Ray’s father, Irwin, was incredibly proud of,” she said.
The business later contributed to major cultural and commercial projects, including Expo 1988, where the team delivered work for international exhibitors and artists.
“Expo 1988 was an exciting time, tendering and winning jobs for many countries and artists, creating a vastly different and challenging type of work for the team. Great memories were created.”
In 1999, the company was also involved in constructing the Queen Street Mall structure in Brisbane, a technically complex build that remains a prominent feature today.
“The decision to sell came out of the blue and made us think that at our age maybe we should consider it,” the Scheiwes said.
They added that the property’s unique attributes make it a standout offering in the current market, citing its scale, access and location.
“This is a unique property offering a large land content, access to both Anzac Avenue and Sheehan Street, magnificent views of Moreton Bay and close proximity to the train station, bus connections, sporting facilities, restaurants and beautiful foreshore.”
RWC Northern Corridor Group agent Grant Simpson, who is managing the campaign, said the response had been immediate and wide-ranging.
“In only four days we have seen a massive amount of enquiries for this site across a wide range of development uses, clearly demonstrating the confidence in development sites in the Moreton Bay region,” he said.
He noted the listing reflects a broader transition underway across the Peninsula.
“We are seeing a real changing of the guard on the Peninsula. The old-school private owners who have controlled key segments of the market for decades are now making way for an aggressive wave of developers looking to capitalise on the infrastructure and population boom.”
That transformation is being underpinned by major infrastructure investment, including the Peninsula rail line, ongoing foreshore upgrades and expanding health and community facilities, which are driving sustained demand from residents, businesses and developers alike.
RWC Northern Corridor Group’s Aaron Canavan said the upcoming Olympics had further accelerated momentum in the region.
“The Olympics just bolted a turbo onto what was already a rapid cycle of reinvention,” he said.
Senior Analyst Ashley Rees believes the Peninsula’s evolution is only just beginning.
“People laugh at me when I call Redcliffe the ‘Bondi of Brisbane’, but anyone who looks at it with fresh eyes will see it offers the same fundamentals that made Bondi what it is today - it’s just at an earlier point in the cycle,” he said.
“You get a desirable coastal lifestyle that’s thirty minutes from the CBD, the port and international airport. The surf might be lacking, but our footy team is better!”
With large-scale, undeveloped sites on the Peninsula now virtually non-existent, opportunities of this nature are becoming increasingly rare. The combination of scale, dual frontage with approximately 40 metres of exposure to Anzac Avenue, proximity to critical health infrastructure and immediate holding income positions 102 Anzac Avenue as a pivotal site in the next phase of Redcliffe’s growth story.
