​​Final Stages at the Steel River Industrial Estate in Newcastle Are Now Completed ​

​​With 50% of lots already sold, the remaining lots in the final stage of the estate offer occupiers and developers a strategic location, proximity to a world class port and airport, and an opportunity to tap into Newcastle’s thriving industrial market.​ 

Colliers is pleased to announce the completion of the final stages of the Steel River Industrial Estate, unlocking a unique opportunity for developers and owner-occupiers to secure the last premium industrial lots in one of the Hunter Region’s most sought-after business precincts. 

Strategically positioned with direct access to Industrial Drive and a newly completed western entry from the Pacific Highway, Steel River Industrial Estate offers unparalleled connectivity for freight and logistics operators. The estate features a fully serviced industrial-grade road network and lots starting from 4,001 square metres, catering to a wide range of industrial requirements. 

Trent Robertson, Colliers National Director | Industrial & Logistics, said, “The new western entry is a game changer, providing direct left-in access from the Pacific Highway, and significantly improving transport efficiency for businesses operating in this part of Newcastle.” 

Established in 1999, Steel River welcomed CSIRO Energy Research as its first major occupier. Today, the estate, developed by the Precinct Group, is home to over 300 businesses, including some of Australia’s largest companies, and has evolved into a thriving industrial hub. 

Its proximity to key infrastructure, including the Port of Newcastle, Newcastle CBD, and Newcastle Airport, makes it an ideal location for logistics, manufacturing, and distribution. With strong tenant demand and low vacancy rates, the estate offers investors stable rental returns and quality tenant profiles further enhancing the estates appeal. 

Bobby Suminoski, Director of Four Walls Commercial, commented, “The response to the final release has been strong, with 50% of lots already sold. We’re seeing interest from logistics operators, manufacturers, and investors looking to capitalise on the region’s growth.” 

Mr Robertson added, “The Newcastle industrial market has seen year-on-year growth in land and rental values, driven by e-commerce, supply chain optimisation, and sustained low vacancy levels. Combined with limited new supply and recent cash rate cuts, Steel River presents a compelling opportunity for occupiers and developers alike.” 

The remaining lots are available for sale via Private Treaty. Interested parties are encouraged to contact Trent Robertson at Colliers or Bobby Suminoski at Four Walls Commercial to arrange an inspection or request further details.
