Investor Spotlight:

Evans Long | Proxima

Evans Long, a Queensland-based property development group, saw the potential of co-locating allied health, paediatrics and early education in a single, innovation-focused environment. The result is Proxima – the first commercial building to open in Lumina, offering over 11,500m² across seven levels.

The $80 million development is now home to Mater Pathology, CRT Imaging, Sanctuary Early Learning, and Gold Coast Health’s Child Development Service, with further opportunities for health-related businesses to join.

By investing in infrastructure that enables better care, collaboration and innovation, Evans Long has helped shape the future of children’s health while securing long-term commercial value.

Come and experience the ecosystem they’ve dropped themselves into, it’s incredibly powerful because of the people that are coming, the people you have access to, and the athletes you have access to. It’s not just an environment of opportunity, it’s incredibly positive. If you came and experienced that ecosystem, you’d find those two major pillars: access, and a really positive environment.
