FINAL FRONTIER

Developers predict Coast to become the most desirable place on the planet as pandemic bites

A TOP Gold Coast developer tips an Australian and global influx into the city, saying its credentials in a post COVID-19 world will make it the most desirable place on the planet. Q1 developer Soheil Abedian (above): “The Gold Coast will be the final frontier in the world once COVID passes. Once the world’s borders reopen we will be flooded with people from all over the country and planet who will want to work and live on the Gold Coast.” Long-time real estate doyen Max Christmas says Sydneysiders and Melburnians will be followed in by Americans exiting the US.

THE global political situation has tremendously changed, irrespective of the coronavirus situation.

Just look at what is happening in the Middle East, between Iran and Saudi, the issues of Syria, Libya and Yemen, Brexit, the issue of America which has isolated itself and a cold war which is emerging between the west and China.

However, it is different in Australia and if you look close to home you will see that the coronavirus has now given Queensland an unbelievable advantage over our major rivals of Victoria and NSW.

The Gold Coast is in a far better position than Brisbane because we are a relatively smaller city which is a tourist destination, we have unparalleled shopping centres, massive investment in our movie industry. Most of all, the dynamic DNA of our city is based on construction and tourism.

It is my prediction that the Gold Coast will be a final frontier in the world once COVID passes.

I have no doubt in my mind that once the world’s borders reopen we will be flooded with people from all over the country who will want to work and live on the Gold Coast.

The climate for this will be right and everyone will love to be here.

We are a city relatively removed from violence, political disparity and a place every single person would desire to be.

I was born in the Middle East, educated in Germany and worked in Australia. I have three diverse cultures and have been to every part of the world you can put your finger on.

With this in mind I can say that nowhere in the world, not even Monaco, can compare to the Gold Coast.
