Brisbane Airport has started construction of a second warehouse and office complex within its industrial park.
Brisbane Airport Corporation (BAC) Head of Industrial Property and Logistics Todd Perry said the new development was designed to meet a growing demand for commercial and industrial facilities.
Mr Perry said lot AIPN02 was a 1.8ha site at 49 Boronia Rd, with 8724sqm of office and industrial warehouse space, suited to warehousing, storage and distribution.
He said Tomkins Commercial was awarded the construction contract and had 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.”
Mr Perry said Brisbane Airport’s strategy of proactive development was specifically tailored to support Queensland’s booming industrial sector.
“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.”
Mr Perry said Brisbane Airport Park offered unparalleled connectivity with the new development only 12km from Brisbane’s CBD and connected to the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast and key Brisbane industrial precincts by a major arterial road network.
“Tenants also enjoy the flexibility of around-the-clock operations, with 24/7 access to facilities management services to ensure minimal disruption to operations.”
BAC Executive General Manager Commercial Martin Ryan said the property would boast sustainable development practices and targeted a 5-star Green Star rating to reduce carbon emissions and deliver energy efficiencies for tenants.
“Tomkins Commercial is using lower-carbon products and building materials and the development, when complete, will have solar panels, rainwater harvesting and electric vehicle charging units,” Mr Ryan said.
