Construction begins on new Fujitsu DC in NSW

Industrial builder Vaughan Constructions has begun work on the new Australian headquarters and distribution centre of air-conditioner manufacturer Fujitsu General Australia.
The five-star Green Star energy–rated development is being built in Eastern Creek in Western Sydney, New South Wales.
The 11,093sqm facility will house Fujitsu General Australia’s head office, 8,500sqm distribution warehouse and the company’s support service, Fujitsu General Assist.
“The development will provide space and resource for Fujitsu General’s continued growth in the air-conditioning market,” said Philip Perham, Managing Director, Fujitsu General Australia.
“The building design has a five-star Green Star rating and follows the company’s sustainability philosophy, to ensure we continue to safeguard a rich natural environment for future generations.”
Andrew Noble, Managing Director of Vaughan Constructions, added: “This pivotal piece of infrastructure will not only support the operational needs of Fujitsu General, but provides a superior work environment with exceptional staff facilities.”

Fujitsu General has signed a ten-year lease from site landlord Jacfin, who appointed Vaughan Constructions for the multimillion-dollar development.
Vaughan Constructions and Fujitsu General consulted Sydney-based design firm ODCM on the design concept for the facility, which is expected to be completed in December 2018.
