Frasers Property Industrial has officially started construction of SC1 Archerfield in South East Queensland, which will be comprised with three expansive warehouses, each with their own super awning.
Located in Brisbane’s Central South industrial precinct, the 70,823 square metre development is expected to attract leading customers that specialise in last-mile delivery, re-emerging manufacturing and ecommerce, due to its strategic infill location and close proximity to key transport infrastructure hubs and main road corridors.
The warehouses on the site will be developed according to Frasers’ sustainability benchmarks, each targeting 5 Star Green Star Design and As-Built v1.3 certified ratings by the Green Building Council of Australia.
The facilities will also include energy efficient lighting, rainwater reuse and water saving fixtures, as well as native landscaping.
Frasers said that hundreds of jobs are being created for Queenslanders during the construction of SC1 Archerfield, in addition to hundreds of full-time positions on completion.
“The Greater Brisbane area is experiencing a period of unprecedented population growth, which is driving demand for goods and services in the region,” said Troy Whalan, General Manager – Queensland at Frasers Property Industrial.
“As last-mile delivery and ecommerce become more popular with customers, industrial estates closely located to the CBD are in high demand,” Whalan said.
“Being located near key transportation nodes and the Brisbane Central Business District, SC1 Archerfield is well placed to serve the needs of companies operating in the South East Queensland area in offering them expedient access to workers, customers and distribution outlets,” he said.
SC1 Archerfield is situated approximately 20 minutes south of Brisbane’s Central Business District, just off the M7 Ipswich Motorway. This places the site within 25km and 30km of Brisbane’s main airport and seaport respectively.
The development is also directly opposite the Archerfield Airport, which acts as Brisbane’s secondary airport. Located on the corner of Beatty and Kerry Roads, SC1 Archerfield taps into key rail infrastructure with the Acacia Ridge Marshalling Yard in close proximity.
BMD Urban has been selected as the civil contractor for Stages 1 and 2, and works are scheduled for practical completion in the fourth quarter of 2022.
Pre-lease options are available for potential customers that are seeking to establish or grow their manufacturing or logistics presence in the region.
