The Electrolux Group has agreed to sign on as the first tenant for Stage 2 of the Port West industrial estate in Lytton.
The Australia-based appliance company has signed a 10-year lease on a 42,200 m² property that will include a purpose-built distribution centre and showroom.
The site will include a 21,255 m² warehouse, a ground-floor office and high-end showroom, a first-floor office, dock office, and hardstand/truck apron and car parking.
“Port of Brisbane provides an unrivalled opportunity for trade-related businesses such as the Electrolux Group, including the availability of large format greenfield sites located so close to the Port’s terminals and wharves,” stated Neil Stephens, CEO of Port of Brisbane (PBPL).
He further added, “This will be the first time PBPL will seek to deliver a 6-Star Green-Star rated facility for our customers and the opportunity to do so aligns strongly with our own sustainability ambitions.”
The new facility will be built by McNab, with project management by Johnstaff and JLL, design by Sparc Architects, and structural engineering by Northrop Consulting Engineers.
Port of Brisbane includes a rooftop solar system, a distinctive Glulam and CLT timber structure for the office and showroom, and will use low carbon concrete solutions where possible in order to achieve the 6-Star standards.
Construction is anticipated to begin by the end of the year and be completed by October 2024.
