The Gold Coast City Council has purchased a vacant 85 ha block of land in Yatala for $12.8 million with plans to convert it into sports and recreation fields.
The substantial landholding is located at 396 Stanmore Road and was owned by the Enkelmann family since the 1800s, when they relocated into the region as one of the early European settlers.
It was taken to market via an Expression of Interest campaign through Colliers International on behalf of Joe Welch of Hickey Lawyers, as the executors of the deceased estate.
Daniel Coburn, Director of Industrial at Colliers International who marketed the property said the campaign generated interest from a range of developers and occupiers considering the land was zoned future low impact industry, is on the periphery of Yatala Enterprise Area and surrounded by rural and residential properties.
“The unique selling points of this cleared land parcel is that it had 1.3km of road frontage and as well as 900m Albert River frontage in the northern Gold Coast corridor which is one of the fastest growing regions in Australia in terms of population growth,” Mr Coburn said.
The proceeds of the sale will be used in a charitable foundation to benefit local charities and in memory of the Enkelmann family.

Gold Coast City Council bought vacant 85 ha Yatala block for $12.8 million

<html><body>
Sale activity of the latest stage of the Empire Industrial Estate in Yatala has been strong, with 21 sites sold for a total of $16.5 million in recent weeks.
Nine lots remain ranging from 2,200 square metres to 6,221 square metres and available from approximately $270 to $325 per square metre.
Marketing agent Paul Bates of Coldwell Banker said the strong sales activity is a result of the developer's effort to provide a product that meets current market demand.
“We have had a number of buyers secure a site for their own business and then decide to purchase a second lot for investment purposes,” he said.
Bates said Yatala represents value for money in comparison to other industrial areas on the Gold Coast, such as Ashmore and Molendinar.
“The location of Yatala, midway between Brisbane and the Gold Coast - the two largest consumer markets in Queensland - has made it a logical choice for expanding businesses looking to relocate into a modern premises,” he said.
Developer Tony Stephens, of The Stephens Group, said the estate has not only attracted local Gold Coast businesses, but also companies from greater Brisbane and interstate.
"It's positive to see local companies choosing to re-invest in the Gold Coast, which means the revenue and employment generated from these businesses is benefitting our city," he said.
Stephens says designs are now being finalised for buildings in stage four, which are expected to start in April and be completed in the last quarter of 2017.

Paul Bates of Coldwell Banker, saidYatala still represents excellent value for money in comparison to other industrial areas on the Gold Coast, such as Ashmore and Molendinar, where land prices have reached around $450/sqm over the past 12 months.
"We have had a number of buyers secure a site for their own business and then decide to purchase a second lot for investment purposes, not only for the higher investment yields when you compare industrial property to other types of assets, but also because they have embraced the overall vision of this estate " he said.
"The upside to an industrial investment is the tenant is responsible for paying the outgoings and maintaining the premises.
