Bringing a community to life at Melbourne Airport
Turning a vision into reality at Melbourne Airport.
November 21, 2024
Melbourne Airport sits amongst the top 20 largest airports in the world. That’s why careful consideration must be applied to the site’s wider commercial leasing opportunities.
This ensures that incoming tenants are partners for the long term, fundamentally shaping the vital precinct and its surrounding community for the present and the future.
The perfect example of this?
A recent lease which saw CDB Group securing 16,166sqm super-prime grade warehouse space as part of a speculative development within Melbourne Airport’s first-class business park. This warehouse will become CDB’s first national distribution centre in Australia and marks a significant expansion into one of Melbourne's most sought-after logistics locations.
The major leasing appointment for one of Australia and New Zealand's largest importer, distributor and marketer of electrical accessories, kitchen appliances, lighting, cooling and heating, comes at an important time for the company’s bold vision ahead.
“We are excited to move into our new headquarters at Melbourne Airport Business Park, marking a significant milestone as we celebrate 11 years in Australia,” says Managing Director of CDB Group, Mark Rice.
“This move supports our continued growth and ensures we’re well-positioned to meet the increasing demand for our products across all categories. The new, modern space will help us collaborate more effectively as a team, all under one roof. We thank the team at Melbourne Airport for making this great facility a reality.”
This lease was brokered by CBRE’s Senior Director, Industrial & Logistics, Melbourne, Daniel Eramo, along with Joe Brzezek, Director, Industrial & Logistics, Melbourne.
“This leasing transaction further reinforces the strategic location of Melbourne Airport Business Park, offering unrivaled access to air freight services and major road networks. CDB’s new facility will further enhance its supply chain efficiency and cater to the growing demands of its customers,” says Daniel.
“Melbourne Airport has now successfully leased 25,632sqm of the new speculative development project well prior to practical completion, with only one 6,675sqm tenancy remaining” adds Joe.
The warehouse space is owned by Australia Pacific Airports Melbourne (APAM) with the speculative development forming part of the Melbourne Airport Business Park, a Special Activity Centre zoned land consisting of industrial and commercial development.
APAM’s Head of Property Development and Asset Management, Stuart Verrier, said “Although the Melbourne Airport Business Park is the largest of its kind in the country and superbly located, not only to the airport, but also Melbourne’s arterial road network, the fact is we are running out of land.
“What this means is we are becoming more and more selective as to our remaining land uses and who we partner with.”
