Key south-east industrial facilities change hands: The industrial and logistics property market continues to attract investors and developers alike. A private investor has paid $14.75 million for a 15,962sqm office and warehouse building in Moorabbin. The 45-55 Fairchild Street property is zoned Commercial 2 and encompasses a 28,890sqm site, and sold with a new five-year lease to global publisher Hinkler Books that brings in nearly $1.099 million pa net.
It is positioned within Parkview Estate, developed by Pellicano Group, which still owns much of the estate.
Further south-east, Biscay Greeting Cards sold off its 7,828sqm office and warehouse facility, on a 1.29ha property at 108 Logis Boulevard in Dandenong’s Logis Eco Industrial Estate, to an owner occupier for $12 million.
The corner site has 73 on-site parking spaces and is a short distance from Eastlink and the Dandenong Bypass.
Prompted by the lack of available development sites in the Logis and Key industrial estates, a local developer has purchased a 15,750sqm site nearby at 44-80 Sinclair Road. Zoned Industrial 1, it has a 5,014sqm facility leased for another three years with no further terms, a 122m frontage, and offers easy access to Eastlink.
Meanwhile, another developer paid $4.7 million to food distribution company PFD Foodservices for its Knoxfield cold storage facility in the eastern suburbs of 9,480sqm at 26 Rushdale Street.
