What's coming: the approved projects

The actual developments approved on these streets, with the read on each.
  • Apartments / use 88 units Apartments accretiveA cleared nursery yard on a prime corner beside Albion station becomes 88 apartments with a widened Hudson Road and a proper Moore Street footpath, which lifts the block overall, but the two light-industrial lots immediately west wear a blank concrete wall and Moore Street wears all the traffic.
  • New lots 3 lots 31 Frodsham Street, Albion
  • Apartments / use 3 units Townhouses accretiveSwapping a tired six-unit pre-1947 block for three owner-grade townhouses behind a retained character frontage is a quiet net positive for Marne Road, but the two boundary neighbours wear real excavation and overlooking impacts, and this owner has already let one approval lapse on this very site.
  • Apartments / use – Multiple dwelling villas neutralA patio roof on one unit of an existing four-villa block is a cosmetic amenity tweak with no bearing whatsoever on surrounding property.
  • Apartments / use 72 units Apartments accretiveQuality high-density housing replacing a vacant container-storage lot on a transit-adjacent corner is net renewal for the street, but the immediate single-storey neighbours wear the bulk and a long, deep-excavation build.
  • Apartments / use 199 units Apartments (mixed-use residential tower) accretiveA 17-storey, 199-unit landmark tower replacing a tired single-storey office on the Breakfast Creek gateway is a clear renewal signal that lifts the Albion precinct, with localised amenity friction that the adjoining hotel has already fought over.
  • Apartments / use 4 units Warehouse office neutralAn internal tenancy reshuffle of an existing office/warehouse in an industrial pocket of Albion — neutral for neighbours, with a faint cosmetic upside from new street glazing.
  • Apartments / use 1-storey Warehouse / light-industrial ceramic studio accretiveA benign artisan tenant backfilling a vacant warehouse — the 'medium impact industry' label badly overstates what is really a hand-made pottery studio with a single electric kiln, and it lifts rather than dilutes the immediate industrial street.
  • Apartments / use – Retail neutralThis is a paperwork-only currency extension on parent approval A004226742, so on its own it tells us nothing about the development's likely effect on surrounding Albion property.

Flood

Does Albion flood? It's a street-by-street question.

A suburb-wide flood figure hides the only answer that matters: whether the specific lot you are looking at sits inside a mapped overlay.

Where we're straight with you
We hold the parcel-level flood overlay here.

Flood overlays for Brisbane are in our map. The per-lot answer (in or out of the overlay) is on the address report, not a suburb average.

Is Albion a good suburb? · answered by the data

The questions buyers ask about Albion.

Straight answers, built from the numbers on this page. We show the data and let you decide. Information only, not advice.

Is Albion a good suburb?

Albion reads as a suburb being actively reshaped: house values up about 5% in two years. The typical house runs $1.25M, below the Brisbane house median. Distance-wise it sits roughly 5 km north-east of the Brisbane CBD. Flood is a per-lot question here and we hold the parcel overlay, so check the exact address rather than a suburb average. We lay out the numbers and leave the call to you, because the suburb average is never the whole picture. Check the exact address.

What is the median house price in Albion?

A typical house in Albion sits around $1.25M (2026), below the Brisbane house median. That is up roughly 5% over two years.

Does Albion flood?

Flood risk in Albion is a street-by-street question. We hold the parcel-level flood overlay for this council, so the honest answer is at the exact address, not a suburb average. Run an address to see whether a specific lot sits inside a mapped overlay.

Is Albion a good place to invest?

Albion's gross yield on a 3-bedroom house is around 3.6%, comfortably above the Brisbane house average of about 2.6%. That is a genuinely useful yield for a house, so the rent does more of the heavy lifting here. We lay out the numbers and leave the call to you; this is information, not investment advice.
