Knight Frank’s Townsville and Mackay offices have expanded their service offering to include a new accommodation and hospitality service line.
Glen Cummins has been appointed to head up the new service line, in the role of sales and leasing executive, accommodation and hospitality.
He joins Knight Frank following two years at Resort Brokers, where he had a specific focus on the accommodation sector involving the sale motels, caravan parks and management rights, covering a sales territory north from Townsville to Innisfail and west out to Richmond and Winton.
Cummins said the regional Queensland accommodation and hospitality sector was experiencing a notable period of strength, and with it had come greater demand for property services from clients.
“We are seeing many investors from Victoria, where land tax has risen significantly in recent times; for these buyers Queensland makes for a more attractive investment.
“The accommodation and hospitality sector’s resilience during economic challenges and headwinds further underscores its stability, making it a reliable investment choice.”
He said recent infrastructure developments and government initiatives such as the $1.8 billion Copper String 2032 project had enhanced regional Queensland’s appeal.
