The countdown to the Brisbane 2032 Olympic Games is more than just about sport — it’s about transformation.
History shows us that host cities don’t just enjoy a short-lived “sugar hit.” Instead, the Olympic effect creates a multi-year growth cycle, driven by world-class infrastructure investment, international attention, and lifestyle migration.
Research from Benchmark Capital highlights that property markets in Olympic host cities such as Sydney, London, Paris, and Rio all recorded significant growth both before and after the Games. In Sydney, property prices rose 88% in the five years around the 2000 Olympics, while suburbs near Olympic Park saw values surge by more than 250% in the years that followed. London’s 2012 host suburbs have more than doubled in value, and Paris is already seeing property near Olympic transport hubs climb by up to 30% since the 2024 Games.
For Brisbane, the story is just beginning. Benchmark forecasts Brisbane property prices could rise by at least 70% by 2032. With the city already recording the nation’s fastest growth — up 92% in the past five years — the momentum is undeniable.
Why This Matters for Murcia Residences
Murcia Residences is perfectly positioned in East Brisbane, at the heart of the city’s transformation. Just minutes from the CBD and connected to key infrastructure upgrades, Murcia offers residents more than a luxury home — it offers a foothold in Brisbane’s most exciting growth story.
Owning at Murcia isn’t just about enjoying sweeping city views, resort-style wellness amenities, and a walkable neighbourhood full of cafés, dining, and culture. It’s also a smart investment opportunity, backed by:

As REA Group senior economist Anne Flaherty says: “This is not just about 2032. It’s about building Brisbane’s profile, improving infrastructure, and positioning the city for long-term growth.”
