Eagle Farm to Doomben Corridor: Brisbane’s Emerging Lifestyle Driven Investment Precinct

Just 6–7 km northeast of the CBD, the leafy corridor between Eagle Farm and Doomben racecourses is fast becoming one of Brisbane’s most desirable and investment worthy precincts especially for buyers and landlords seeking premium, lifestyle centric property.

At the heart of this transformation lies the Brisbane Racing Club’s ambitious $1.2–$1.5 billion masterplan, which is already reshaping the precinct into a vibrant, mixed use urban environment. Projects like Ascot Green, a collection of luxury residential towers developed with Mirvac, and Bernborough Ascot, an upscale retirement-living community alongside world-class amenities, reflect the strategic ambition to integrate racing heritage with modern, high-end living. 

These developments are drawing local and interstate buyers attracted to generous, track facing floorplans and apartments with uninterrupted views of the lush turf. Early phases of Ascot Green sold predominantly to locals downsising from larger homes nearby but unwilling to compromise on space, outlook, or prestige.

From a property management perspective these premium builds have ignited demand for experiential rental accommodation. Tenants who want more than four walls, who value space, well‑being and proximity to lifestyle anchors like Racecourse Road’s cafés, top schools, and transport links.

It’s in this evolving context that trackside residential land like the rare 425 m² vacant block on Mein Street overlooking Eagle Farm’s 1200m start line stands apart. It’s not only architecturally significant but it positions the buyer in a setting few Brisbane locations can rival: heritage, exclusivity, and enduring lifestyle appeal in one address.

For investors and tenants, this corridor now represents more than just a rental yield, it offers an opportunity to live amid history, leisure, and connectivity. For boutique agencies like Homeward, aligning with this precinct means delivering service to landlords whose properties aren’t just functional but they’re fundamentally aspirational.
