The final piece of a development puzzle in a key Warwick location is gearing up to open.

Warwick Doctors, a new state-of-the-art medical facility by nationwide firm Doctors and Co, will be opening this weekend, ending a saga that has spanned for almost a year.

In October 2023, Warwick Doctors announced it would be ‘coming soon,’ joining the chain’s more than 30 locations in the east coast of Australia.

Calling the exciting Home & Life precinct on Albion St, the Colliers development has been praised by the larger community for bringing national chain tenants to the Rose City.

Cafe 63, BCF and Anytime Fitness were the first announced tenants, followed swiftly after by Petbarn, marking the first location in Southern Queensland for these massive chains.

The mammoth development, which sold for $11.8m earlier this year, is an example of an example of “a boom coming to the region” according to developers.

Colliers Queensland associate director retail middle markets Harry Dever said the large format retail sector had outperformed due to population growth, restricted supply and tenant activity, which has attracted investors to this tightly held sub sector of retail.

The retail centre holds a prime position within Warwick CBD, with the next-closest outlets for the brands located almost 100km away.

Warwick Doctors lists Dr Remi Alagbe as their medical stalwart, a doctor who has been working in Namibia as a family physician.

Warwick Doctors says its focuses are men’s and women’s health, pediatric health, immunisations and travel health, check-ups, vaccinations and even mental heath and small-scale surgeries.

In April of this year, Colliers announced a follow up development – slated for Warwick’s main street will see a quieter end of the CBD transformed into a business precinct.

The Home & Co precinct will occupy the site of the former Bunnings location, near WIRAC on Palmerin St.

As of April, Colliers are at this stage looking to secure tenants for the project’s future development.

“This prime location boasts strategic positioning with prominent frontage along both the high retail street and the Cunningham Highway,” the listing said.

“The site presents unparalleled brand exposure … Take advantage of exceptional signage opportunities along the Cunningham Highway and triple street frontage, ensuring maximum visibility.”

Warwick Doctors will hold its grand opening on Saturday, September 7 at the Albion St precinct.

Doctors and Co have been approached for comment.
