Transport company Wettenhalls has signed a five year lease for a 32,600 square metre facility at Laverton North, in Melbourne’s west. Wettenhalls is paying $60 per square metre to occupy the site within Goodman’s Wyndham Distribution Centre.

The space Wettenhall is moving into was previously occupied by Kmart, which is moving to a 76,700 square metre facility at Goodman’s Banfield Distribution Centre in Truganina, also in Melbourne’s west and not far from Laverton North.

]]> Kmart has also renewed a 20,000 square metre industrial lease at the Wyndham Distribution Centre for another two years.

Meanwhile across town in the bayside suburb of Braeside, warehousing and distribution operator Simon Transport has leased 31,590 square metres at the Kingston Distribution Centre. According to the AFR, Simon has increased its accommodation by five fold.

Goodman Group Australian general manager Jason Little said the company’s leasing success is due to a quality portfolio, customer focus and flexibility.

 

]]> Queensland’s Tony Quinn Buys Major Laverton North Factory, Melbourne https://www.realestatesource.com.au/queenslands-tony-quinn-buys-major-laverton-north-factory-melbourne/ Sun, 05 Sep 2010 04:16:17 +0000 http://realestatesource.com.au/wordpress/queenslands-tony-quinn-buys-major-laverton-north-factory-melbourne.html LAVERTON North’s former McCubbins Pet Food Factory has sold for about $6 million to Queensland based pet food mogul and multi-millionaire, Tony Quinn.

The 10,600 square metre parcel at 75 – 77 Dohertys Road includes offices, cold stores, blast and plate freezers and two warehouses totalling 2300 square metres.

The existing building occupies just 22 per cent of the overall site, offering development potential down the track, should Mr Quinn’s pet food company, VIP Pet Food, decide to expand further.
]]> The Laverton North property is the group’s first industrial asset in Melbourne, and fifth nationally. The company is headquartered in Yatala, Queensland.

ICR Property Group senior selling agent Guy Naselli said the former McCubbins site boasted excellent exposure to Dohertys Road, and easy access to the Western Ring Road.

He said the “new set of paws in Melbourne’s west” should be recognisable before the end of the year, when VIP Pet Food’s logo adorns the site.

Doherty’s Road is a major thoroughfare within western suburb residential and industrial suburbs, acting as a spine for estates in Laverton, Tarneit, Truganina and Williams Landing.
