Industrial property group Goodman has announced the development of a new 27,085 square metre distribution centre for Linfox Logistics at Stockyards Industrial Estate in Hazelmere, Western Australia.
The new facility for Linfox will accommodate the company’s warehouse and distribution operations for the Perth and greater Western Australia region. The purpose-built facility includes a 25,235 square metre warehouse with 1,850 square metre office and ancillary space on an 8 hectare site, with Linfox committing to an initial 10-year lease term.
Goodman’s general manager of Victoria, South Australia and Western Australia, Travis Hardman, said: “We are delighted to have been selected by Linfox to undertake this latest development at Stockyards which builds on our long established relationship in developing facilities for Linfox.”
The distribution centre, which is expected to be completed in March 2012, will be one of the largest industrial facilities in the Perth area with an estimated value of $55.8 million, according to Goodman.
The facility is the ninth pre-committed development that Goodman has undertaken for Linfox in Australia, with previous developments across Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia, totalling more than 124,000 square metres.
Linfox now occupies more than 224,000 square metres of space in a number of Goodman owned assets nationally, making it one of Goodman’s top 10 customers in Australia.
