The market read

South Brisbane runs mixed-use as often as pure residential — retail podiums, hotel keys and build-to-rent floors above a residential base. Builders here need people who can hold multiple product types in one program without losing standard.

The jobs opening here are Project Managers and Project Directors with mixed-use experience, and Commercial Managers who can hold a subcontractor base across residential and retail simultaneously.
