Construction has been completed at CityPort Coldstores, marking a major milestone for Queensland’s cold chain infrastructure and expanding the state’s supply of modern, large-scale temperature-controlled facilities.
Delivered by Modus Property Group, CityPort Coldstores is the largest speculative cold storage development ever offered in Queensland. The project responds to growing demand across food, pharmaceutical and logistics supply chains for flexible, scalable cold storage close to key freight gateways.
The facility is available for immediate occupation and can accommodate either a single large occupier or up to three subdivided tenancies, with tenancy sizes starting from approximately 6,200 square metres.
Designed to support operational efficiency and margin performance, CityPort Coldstores incorporates a mix of freezer and chiller environments to meet a wide range of cold chain requirements. The development features a 50:50 freezer and chiller split, internal clearances of approximately 11.5 metres enabling high-density storage of up to seven pallets, and six-metre-wide awnings to support all-weather loading and unloading.
Across the three tenancies, the site provides 29 dock levellers supported by 15-metre-deep ante rooms, allowing efficient handling and throughput while maintaining temperature control and compliance. The facility has also been positioned to offer competitive pallet pricing within Southeast Queensland, supporting cost optimisation for operators managing seasonal peaks or long-term storage demand.
CityPort Coldstores is located in the established industrial suburb of Morningside, within Brisbane’s TradeCoast precinct. The location places the facility between the Brisbane CBD and the Port of Brisbane, offering strong connectivity to major freight and logistics infrastructure.
The site provides direct access to the Port of Brisbane, close proximity to Brisbane’s international and domestic airports, and connections via key arterial routes including Lytton Road, the Gateway Motorway and the Port of Brisbane Motorway. Importantly for cold chain operators, access is provided via a B-Double approved heavy vehicle route, enabling efficient movement for larger prime movers and interstate refrigerated logistics operations.
With construction now complete and the facility ready for occupation, CityPort Coldstores adds significant new capacity to Queensland’s cold chain market at a time of sustained demand for well-located, high-performance temperature-controlled assets.
