Mirvac has begun construction on the state-of-the-art, last mile logistics facility – known as Switchyard – in Manchester Road, with the project expected to be completed in 2023.
Mirvac’s Campbell Hanan says it’s the exceptional quality of the Switchyard which will differentiate from others and interest has been strong with almost 40 of the estate already pre-committed.
“Our vision has been well received by the market with significant interest from a range of customers, from recreation uses to a range of manufacturing, pet distributors and a café – set to provide local amenity for future employees and the broader community,” he said.
“Sustainability is at the heart of the vision and design for Switchyard which incorporates a range of market leading features.”
The intersection of Chisholm and Manchester roads will also be upgraded to accommodate traffic moving to and from the new estate.
Industrial estate Switchyard to employ over 1,000
MORE than 700 jobs will be created with the construction of a new 14-hectare industrial estate in Auburn and 1,000 permanent jobs once it’s completed.
