Land buy for Comiskey Group in Moreton Bay
The Comiskey Group is celebrating a huge milestone today after buying 638 South Pine Rd, Eatons Hill, at auction for $3.5 million.
The 8-hectare freehold parcel, once part of an ex-golf course and now vacant council-owned land, wraps in a prime U-shape around the Comiskey Group’s existing Eatons Hill precinct, home to the Eatons Hill Hotel, its 4.5-star accommodation, Comiskey Distillery, the Bottlemart Superstore, and the Woolworths-anchored Eatons Hill Village.
Just 20km from Brisbane CBD and sharing access with the South Pine Sports Complex, the Eatons Hill Hotel precinct grows from 6ha to 14ha, setting the stage for better traffic flow, more car parking, enhanced facilities, more accommodation and new offerings.
Director Rob Comiskey said the win couldn’t have come at a better time: “Today is my birthday, and it’s off to a great start! We have been eyeing out the site behind Eatons Hill Hotel for years, strategically we always knew it would be a great buy and it’s a dream realised to be able to have secured it.
“When we first built Eatons Hill Hotel, we were just really starting out in the hotel game, it was one of our biggest business risks. We never would have thought it would be so successful, let alone that we’d end up being able to buy the property next door.
“It’s times like these that I pinch myself and am so proud of all the hard work my family have done, the epic team we have and just so grateful for the support of our communities. It’s not without them that any of this would be possible. We look forward to using this land to enhance and expand on our current offering, with the community in mind every step of the way”.
With this latest acquisition, the Comiskeys say they are continuing their mission to create vibrant places for local families to form incredible memories of their own.
