🟡🟢 Property Report | Logan Central’s Medium Density Land Market in 2025

A Landowner’s Guide to Selling Zoned MDR Property to Builders — and Protecting Value in the Process

Prepared by Norton’s Real Estate – Logan’s Land Sales Specialists

🟡 Overview: Why MDR Landowners Hold the Advantage in Logan Central

If you own land in Logan Central zoned Medium Density Residential (MDR) — you’re sitting on a valuable asset, even if the house isn’t perfect or is tenanted.

The current market is rewarding landowners who understand zoning uplift and who structure their sale with builders or developers in mind.

MDR land in Logan Central allows for:

• Townhouses (2–3 storeys)

• Multi-unit dwellings

• Small-lot subdivision

• Dual-occupancy and duplex (STCA)

• Walk-up apartment sites (depending on overlays)

🟡 This zoning bridges affordability and development feasibility — making it perfect for small-to-mid-scale builders who need a quick-start site.

🟢 What Exactly Is MDR Zoning in Logan?

According to the Logan Planning Scheme:

• MDR is designed to support housing diversity

• Permitted building heights: Up to 3 storeys

• Density guidance: ~25–50 dwellings per hectare

• Intended to support walkable centres and transport zones

• May overlap with parking, flooding, or urban corridor overlays

🟢 FAQs for Landowners

Q: Do I need to apply for a DA before I sell?
A: No — most builders want to apply themselves. Norton’s structures the contract around their timing, not yours.

Q: Will I get a better price if I wait?
A: Possibly — but market cycles shift fast. If zoning is active and buyer interest is high, it may be worth securing a contract now.

Q: What if I have tenants on the land?
A: We’ll work with the buyer to honour leases or negotiate tenant access terms in the contract.

Q: Is marketing expensive?
A: No. With RealtyAssist, we provide drone, video, floorplan and buyer packs — and you pay nothing until settlement.
