Brisbane Airport is now seeking a tenant for a warehouse complex that is taking shape in its expanding industrial estate.
Lot AIPN02 is a 1.8-hectare site at 49 Boronia Road, Airport Industrial Park, with 8724 square metres of office and industrial warehouse space, suitable for warehousing, storage and distribution.
The airport says Tomkins Commercial was awarded the construction contract and has begun erecting precast panels on the site.
When completed in early 2025, the office façade will feature off-form concrete panels and aluminium cladding, and the partitionable development means it can be leased as a whole warehouse or two separate warehouses.
It is expected to feature lower-carbon products and building materials with solar panels, rainwater harvesting and electric vehicle charging units.
Brisbane Airport Corporation Head of Industrial Property and Logistics Todd Perry says the new development is designed to meet growing demand for commercial and industrial facilities.
“Brisbane Airport’s strategy of proactive development is specifically tailored to support Queensland’s booming industrial sector,” Perry says.
“Brisbane Airport Park is one of our thoughtfully master-planned precincts and our developments are built to a standard that offers the greatest value to our tenants.
“This is our second proactive development in the precinct and follows the enormous success of our initial project: a warehouse and office facility snapped up by Queensland-owned and operated Phoenix Express Logistics on a five-year lease,” Perry says.
“With industrial vacancy rates still at historic lows, this new development offers an exceptionally rare opportunity for prospective tenants.”
The airport points out that the park is only 12km from Brisbane’s CBD with connections to the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast and industrial precincts by a major arterial road network and 24/7 access to facilities management services.
Executive General Manager Commercial Martin Ryan said the industrial park is increasingly attracting top-tier companies with its leasing options.
“Airport Industrial Park is home to high-calibre tenants including Martin Brower and Phoenix Express Logistics as well as Australia Post, whose 31,800sq m parcel facility is Brisbane Airport’s largest industrial development,” Ryan says.
“This property is a demonstration of Australian excellence in sustainable development practices and targets a five-star Green Star rating to reduce carbon emissions and deliver energy efficiencies for tenants.”
