Brisbane\u2019s iconic Caxton Street strip is entering a high-stakes new era, with two neighbouring sites hitting the market for the first time in more than a decade.<\/p>\n

It comes amid a wave of multimillion-dollar investment and redevelopment activity transforming the precinct into a national sporting and hospitality powerhouse.<\/p>\n

The properties at 18\u201326 Caxton Street, opposite the The Beetson Hotel, offer buyers the chance to create a flagship bar or entertainment venue in the centre of Brisbane\u2019s NRL heartland.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The two adjoining freehold buildings have a combined net lettable area of 512 sqm.<\/p>\n

Colliers Queensland agents Tony Wang and Shaun Seeto are marketing the two adjoining freehold buildings with a combined net lettable area of 512 sqm, with an additional 70 sqm of external seating.<\/p>\n

Caxton Street is long regarded as the city\u2019s pre and post game entertainment epicentre, as well as a busy foodie location on non-game days.<\/p>\n

Recent deals include the $50m acquisition of the Caxton Street Hotel by prominent businessman Nick Politis, along with the Australian Rugby League Commission\u2019s purchase of the former Gambaro Hotel, now operating as the The Beetson Hotel.<\/p>\n

Momentum is continuing to build, with Cameron Munster backing the upcoming Milton Rooftop & Sports Bar, while the National Rugby League has unveiled plans for a new IMAX-style sports bar concept set to anchor the precinct\u2019s evolution.<\/p>\n

Colliers Investment Services manager Shaun Seeto said the listing was a very rare chance to create a flagship venue in the middle of Brisbane\u2019s NRL heartland.<\/p>\n

Colliers Investment Services manager Shaun Seeto said the latest listing was expected to<\/p>\n

attract a broad range of buyers, from hospitality and NRL operators and players to private investors and syndicates.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith unprecedented investment flowing into Caxton Street and the surrounding precinct, this offering represents a rare chance to secure a foothold in what is rapidly becoming the entertainment capital of Australian sport,\u201d Mr Seeto said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a very rare chance to create a flagship venue in the middle of Brisbane\u2019s NRL heartland and we are already fielding a huge amount of pre-market interest. Not only is it a vibrant precinct on game day, but a popular strip for food and beverage on non-game days.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a deep emotional connection to Caxton Street, most Queenslanders have fond memories at this location, and that\u2019s what will drive the high demand for these sites.\u201d<\/p>\n

The property at 18 Caxton St is currently leased to longstanding late night institution Abbra<\/p>\n

Kebabra until 2028 with a 3 year option remaining. <\/p>\n

The adjoining property at 26 Caxton Street is a substantially larger four-level venue, formerly operating as long standing street tenant Brewski and more recently Velveteen Rabbit, with an \u2018Alice in Wonderland\u2019 themed down the rabbit hole basement bar. <\/p>\n

It has a current hotel liquor licence and is being offered with vacant possession, presenting a significant value-add or owner-occupier opportunity.<\/p>\n

Colliers Queensland Asia markets director Tony Wang said steeped in history and dating back<\/p>\n

148 years, the properties blend heritage character with modern functionality, featuring full commercial kitchens, grease traps, exhaust systems, cold and freezer rooms, and multiple fitted bars.<\/p>\n

\u201cLocated just moments from Suncorp Stadium, Caxton Street has long been synonymous with major sporting events, drawing tens of thousands of fans during State of Origin clashes, NRL fixtures and concerts,\u201d Mr Wang said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIts reputation as Brisbane\u2019s premier game-day destination continues to drive strong hospitality trade and investor demand, making this an appealing investment to a wide range of buyers.<\/p>\n

\u201cOpportunities to acquire freehold assets of this scale and flexibility on Caxton Street are exceptionally rare, with this property being offered for sale for the first time in 12 years.\u201d<\/p>\n

The properties are on the market via expressions of interest closing May 21.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NRL fans watching the grand final footy action at the Caxton on October 5, 2025.
