RECEIVERS for the owners of a versatile 555-hectare Truganina property, the largest asset measured by area to hit the market last year, are selling down the property in smaller chunks.

After failing to sell for a total $100 million in separate campaigns in 2010, and 2011, four industrial development sites, each measuring about 42 hectares are now for sale, in a campaign being managed by Biggin Scott Commercial’s Andrew Egan and Frank Nagle.

Accessed via Hopkins Road, the blocks are expected to sell for about $3 million each.

TWO of Australia’s largest conglomerates have quietly circulated industrial leasing requirements seeking new, supersized Melbourne factories.

Coles, which last month reported more than triple the quarterly sales growth of rival, Woolworths, will consider sites all over metropolitan Melbourne for its new major distribution centre.
