Mr Wray said the warehouse was versatile and would lend itself to just about any use. A Carole Park warehouse has been listed for lease but, tempted by the hot real estate market, the owner is open to offers of purchase.
“It could suit anyone, really – the industrial market has a lot of different businesses and users in it,” he said.
“There’s a multitude of possible uses – you couldn’t say it’s just for one specific use.”
He said the high ceilings and building style may particularly appeal to the distribution industry.
“I guess it’s more suited to someone in distribution because of the nature of the building being tilt panel, and also the internal height being quite good,” he said.

AS PROPERTY prices and the cost of rent climb in the wake of Covid, the appeal of escaping the rental trap continues to tempt first home buyers.
According to data released by CoreLogic, repayments on a home in one Ipswich suburb could be lower than the cost of weekly rent.
The median value for units in Brassall is $228,177, meaning repayments could be as low as $235 on a variable rate, or $199 on a three year fixed rate.
The information is based on current interest rates.

Just how much time do our councillors spend doing actual council stuff?
Back in the day it was pretty common, especially in country areas, to see local representatives balance what you might call “a day job” with their civic duties.
I would almost go as far to say that it was encouraged – that people trusted mayors and councillors who also had a local business, or who were invested in the local region through work.
But times they change. Councillors get paid a lot of money now, by most people’s standards.
Even today, $120 grand a year is good money – certainly nothing to be sneezed at – and I can understand why voters expect more from councillors as a result.

THE record for most expensive home to sell in Ipswich has been smashed again, following the sale of another giant Brookwater home.
Set on a 1100 m sq property, the golf frontage home changed hands for a tidy $2 million, beating the previous record by more than $400,000. A new record has been set for the most expensive house ever to sell in Brookwater, following the $2 million sale of 16/83 Birchwood Crescent.
Until another Brookwater property sold for $1.58 earlier this year, the highest price a home in the suburb fetched in 2020 was $1.23.
Sales agent Irena Marasea said a Brisbane couple snapped up the five-bedroom mansion at 16/83 Birchwood Crescent and would be relocating with their teenage sons.

UNPRECEDENTED sales growth has prompted the seventh and final release of land at one of Ipswich’s most in-demand estates.
Ecco Ripley, based in the booming southeast corridor, has reportedly been earmarked for detached homes and duplexes amid the state’s apparent housing crisis.
Developer Sekisui House Australia on Thursday announced the latest release of lots within the Lighthaven estate in response to the overwhelming number of inquiries lodged about the area.
State Sales Manager Scott Blaney said the move would likely help combat the influx which he said came as result of the Federal Government’s recent HomeBuilder scheme.
