Why industrial?

The largest non-residential property sector by size in Australia, industrial has been growing in prominence in the last few years with the rapid rise of e-commerce driving traditional bricks and mortar retailers into large-scale state-of-the-art warehouses and logistics facilities to keep up with customer demand for online shopping.

Further fuelled by lock downs during the pandemic, this dramatic shift in consumer behaviour is here to stay. And the sector’s potential for growth is untapped with online retail penetration rates at just 14.6% which is below the global average rate of 22%.

Population growth is expected to drive demand for 5.3million sqm of industrial floorspace between now and 2026.

Once seen as the safe and steady asset class, the dramatic growth in Industrial in the past few years alone coupled with the next generation technology innovations such as automation have rapidly changed the sector.

Industrial is now one of the most sought after by major investors in Australia and overseas. This translates into unlimited potential for your career growth.
