Leda Holdings has landed a new project in the heartland of Western Sydney industrial market with the purchase of a Smithfield facility at auction for $4.25 million.
Positioned on a prime corner parcel, the 8,053sqm property comprises a rectangular site on the corner of O’Connell Street and Horsley Drive, Smithfield.
CBRE’s Elijah Shakir and Peter Blade handled the auction process for 727 The Horsley Drive, which attracted a crowd of more than 30 people and bidding interest from six parties, including developers, investors and owner occupiers.
The final sale result achieved a land rate of $528 per square metre.
Mr Shakir said the opportunity to secure a unique corner holding in one of Sydney’s proven industrial locations underpinned strong buyer interest during the campaign.
“As one of Western Sydney’s most well-established and revered industrial hubs, Smithfield remains a key market for owner occupiers,” Mr Shakir said.
“The opportunity to acquire such a significant parcel on a prominent corner site attracted buyer interest from both local and interstate groups. The end purchaser - a leading industrial developer - plans to develop a high profile unit complex incorporating both retail showroom and industrial units, which will be released to the market for presale in Q4 of this year.”
