Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Building in Dakabin QLD 21Jan 16, 2014 10:04 am Bit of an old thread, but I couldn't find any other "Dakabin" area related topics, so thought I'd revive this one again. Long time reader, first time poster. My husband and I are currently looking to build in North Brissy and stumbled across the new Sanctuary on Alma Estate. Has anyone else been considering building there? The house and land packages are with OJ Pippin - who I've never heard of, but seem to be everywhere according to the website. How is your build going @thebuzz? Re: Building in Dakabin QLD 22Jan 18, 2014 7:54 pm Hi! Yes this is a quiet thread. My build is going really well. Almost done actually. Handover will be Feb 14th so in 4 weeks. I'm at Essencia estate so across the road from Alma Heights area. I decided to build in Dakabin due to being close to the train, the highway, everything in North Lakes and the overpass being built connecting Dakabin and North Lakes. Re: Building in Dakabin QLD 24Jan 20, 2014 2:30 pm I am building in Dakabin. I currently live in Kallangur. I LOVE Dakabin. The reason I am building there is that I think it is an up and coming suburb. With very quick access to North Lakes, and close to Bunnings, Costco, Westfield, (soon Ikea), I just think you will make a bit of money on property there. Also near the train station and highway as well. I have seen the estate you are talking about and it is currently being subdivided and it looks really good. Yep, you are right, rumour is that there is an application for a Woolworths and servo to be built on the corner as well. The servo will be much needed as the closest one at the moment is on Anzac Avenue. Re: Building in Dakabin QLD 25Jan 20, 2014 9:00 pm Hopefully the estate ends up nice. We've been home owners before, but never built. It's a strange feeling to buy something we haven't seen yet. It's sad that the Zoo is moving but great that they're keeping 3 acres of Koala habitat there. Hopefully all the housing/traffic doesn't drive them away. Where are you building @Building_new_home? Re: Building in Dakabin QLD 26Jan 21, 2014 9:49 am The zoo is closing? hmm sad.. but good if they keep the acreage. I hope we can walk our dogs in the koala reserve. I like the idea of it being on the quieter side. A Woolworths and petrol station would be awesome I am looking forward to Costco and Ikea opening up. Costco looks close. Anyone have any info on Costco and Ikea opening dates? Re: Building in Dakabin QLD 27Jan 21, 2014 12:49 pm I am building in Essencia. I agree, keeping it a bit quiet would be great. Not to sure of the dates for Costco. I would presume by April. I believe they have just started their recruitment stage. Not to sure about Ikea. I would say by the end of the year. From what I heard, there was a dispute with Westfield. Westfield wanting Ikea to build but Ikea not building until Westfield agreed to an expansion.
