The market read

Newstead has quietly become the second-largest apartment precinct in SEQ by supply and the largest by number of live projects. The builder mix is broader than Surfers — mid-tier privately owned builders sit alongside tier-one names on adjacent blocks.

Jobs open in Newstead are heavy on Contracts Administration and finishes leadership. Structures leadership was hired six to twelve months ago; the next wave will be commercial and handover.
