Top Commercial Property Projects in Logan (2026): How to Invest in the Region’s Growth

The City of Logan has officially transitioned from a residential growth corridor into a high-value commercial powerhouse. As of early 2026, the region is defined by multi-billion dollar infrastructure upgrades and a strategic shift toward "service-based" commercial assets. For local business owners and investors in Beenleigh, Loganholme, and the surrounding growth hubs, the opportunities are no longer speculative—they are operational.

Investing in Logan 2026

The top commercial projects in Logan for 2026 are the Logan Central Economic Hub (opening July 2026), the Meadowbrook Health & Wellbeing Precinct (anchored by the $1.1 billion Logan Hospital Stage 2 expansion), and the Logan Flagstone Industrial logistics zone. To capitalise on this growth, investors can utilise the Investment Attraction Incentive Fund (IAIF) for projects over $2 million or access infrastructure charge deferrals for high-priority sectors like medical, hospitality, and specialised logistics.

1. Top Commercial Projects to Watch in 2026

Logan Central Economic Hub (Woodridge)

This $15 million, four-level facility is the cornerstone of the Logan Central revitalisation. Following its topping-out ceremony in late 2025, the project reached practical completion in April 2026 and is scheduled for its official opening in July 2026.

• The Opportunity: The hub features 2,600sqm of community and business infrastructure, including a dedicated business incubator, social enterprise shopfronts, and bookable co-working spaces.
• Investment Angle: Small business operators and retailers in the Woodridge and Kingston areas should target the ground-floor café and retail opportunities. The hub is designed to be an all-in-one facility for job seekers and employers, ensuring high daily foot traffic and consistent demand for local services.

Meadowbrook Health & Wellbeing Precinct

Meadowbrook has matured into the "care economy" heart of the South East Queensland corridor. The precinct is currently buzzing with activity as the $874.7 million Logan Hospital Stage 2 Expansion nears its late-2027 completion, having already delivered significant new bed capacity and mental health wards in 2025/2026.

• The Opportunity: There is an acute demand for "off-campus" allied health suites, private medical research facilities, and student-focussed retail to support the growing population at Griffith University and TAFE Queensland.

• Infrastructure Edge: The relocation of the Loganlea Train Station and the "Healthy Street" pedestrian upgrades have significantly increased the commercial viability of surrounding land, making it a prime target for medical-grade commercial developments.

Logan Flagstone Industrial & North Maclean

As of early 2026, the Logan Flagstone Industrial project has emerged as a defining logistics and trade ecosystem. Positioned within the North Maclean precinct, it serves as the primary gateway for the 50,000+ residents moving into the Greater Flagstone area.

• The Opportunity: This mixed-use zone is catering to national 3PL (Third Party Logistics) companies, trade supply showrooms, and large-format factory outlets.

• Strategic Growth: With full Economic Development Queensland (EDQ) approval, the precinct is seeing rapid land absorption. Investors are looking at custom-built warehousing and service-based retail hubs (childcare and fast-food) that service the booming residential populations of Flagstone and Jimboomba.

2. How to Secure Your Investment: Council Incentives

Logan City Council continues to offer aggressive financial levers to lower the "barrier to entry" for commercial developers and local business owners.

Investment Attraction Incentive Fund (IAIF)

This discretionary fund is targeted at businesses in key strategic industries. To be eligible, projects typically require:

• A minimum capital investment of $2 million.
• The creation of at least 10 new full-time jobs within the City of Logan.

Infrastructure Charge Deferrals

To address the regional shortage of short-term accommodation, Council offers 100% deferral of infrastructure charges for new 3.5 to 5-star hotels. Additionally, deferrals are available for Tourist Parks and Nature-based Tourism (capped at $100,000) to bolster the local visitor economy.

Non-Residential Development Incentives

For those looking to revitalise existing town centres like Beenleigh or Springwood, Council offers reductions of up to $50,000 for developments within existing lawful buildings that do not increase the total floor area. This is a massive win for SMEs looking to minimie startup costs in established hubs.

3. Commercial Finance: The Path to Action

At Ferns Finance Brokers, we understand that commercial lending in 2026 requires a more nuanced approach than standard residential mortgages. Securing the right capital structure is critical for maximising the incentives mentioned above.

• Development & Construction Finance: Essential for the staged delivery of industrial warehouses in Crestmead or the high-spec medical suites required in Meadowbrook.
• SMSF Commercial Loans: A popular strategy for local business owners in Slacks Creek and Loganholme is using a Self-Managed Super Fund to purchase their own business premises. This provides long-term tenure security and significant tax advantages.
• Asset & Equipment Finance: With the rise of the Logan Flagstone Industrial hub, we are seeing increased demand for financing fit-outs, heavy machinery, and delivery fleets for the logistics sector.

4. Local Authority & Community Expertise

A Note from Ferns Finance:With median house prices in Logan Reserve and Yarrabilba holding steady around $735,000 in 2026, the "service-based" commercial growth—including retail, childcare, and healthcare—is working hard to keep pace with the population surge.
