A major new industrial development is set to take shape in Ipswich City, with an end value of more than $200 million.
The 28-lot subdivision, Yamanto Trade Gateway, situated on an 18.33-hectare site at Warwick Road at Yamanto, around 45 kilometres southwest of the Brisbane CBD, is being developed by Brisbane-based developer SKF Development.
The project, which has just received development approval, will have lots ranging in size from 2,440sq m to 12,147sq m, and priced from $1,647,000.
It has already achieved over $30m in presales before officially launching to the market this week, demonstrating strong demand for industrial land in this growth corridor.
The development will have wide appeal given its superb highway access, proximity to Ipswich CBD and the surrounding booming residential precincts, and its ability to service both Ipswich and Western Brisbane industrial occupiers.
Land in Yamanto Trade Gateway, which is suitable for a range of uses including warehouse and office, self-storage, light manufacturing and distribution centres, will be available for purchasers to settle and build on by mid to late 2027, with site works set to start in July.
The lots are being marketed for sale by Mark Clifford and Ned Jefferies of Knight Frank, who also sold the englobo parcel at 447 Warwick Road to SKF Development last year for $17.75 million excluding GST.
Yamanto is an established business precinct, benefitting from the ample existing commercial infrastructure, such as Yamanto Central, Yamanto Tavern, Prime West’s Yamanto Village and Quanta’s Yamanto Village Convenience Centre
It also has strong transport links, being on the doorstep of both the Cunningham Highway and Centenary Highway on/off ramps, and centrally positioned only 5.3 kilometres from the Ipswich CBD, 40 minutes to the Brisbane CBD and 45 minutes to Gold Coast’s Yatala industrial precinct.
Yamanto Trade Gateway is SKF Development’s largest industrial development to date following completion of several commercial and industrial projects, with a growing reputation for delivering quality residential communities including ForestBrook Collingwood Park, The Ridge at Carvers, Ashgrove Sanctuary and Sceniq Bilambil Heights, with a $430m pipeline of ongoing development currently underway.
SKF Development Manager Calum Buchanan said he was excited to be launching Yamanto Trade Gateway to the market.
“After purchasing the site last year, we are pleased to have recently received development approval, and are now ready to get started on delivering these new industrial lots,” he said.
“We expect this project to meet strong demand for industrial land in South East Queensland, and particularly in Brisbane’s thriving western corridor, which appeals to a variety of businesses seeking both connectivity and space to grow.
“Currently there is a shortage of well-located, approved land in the precinct, and occupiers and developers have very limited options to choose from, particularly when looking for parcels not impacted by flooding or mining.”
Knight Frank’s Mark Clifford said there had already been strong buyer interest in the industrial land for sale in Yamanto Trade Gateway, with several deals already in place before the project officially launched to the market.
“We have already fielded multiple enquiries from owner-occupiers and developers looking for easy-to-build, well-exposed product like this for a range of uses including warehousing, manufacturing, distribution and other commercial and industrial uses,” he said.
“This is a major new hub for the Greater Brisbane and Ipswich region, which will deliver much-needed industrial land to the precinct.
“The western corridor is one of South East Queensland’s most sought-after industrial precincts for major domestic and international owner occupiers given its connectivity to the Warrego, Centenary and Cunningham Highways, providing efficient transport to interstate freight routes and airports.
“Yamanto Trade Gateway has excellent exposure to Warwick Road, ensuring strong connectivity and both business and signage visibility for future occupiers.
“Yamanto is also close to some of the fastest growing residential areas, Ripley and Springfield, and has a strong yet growing local workforce and benefits from ongoing local infrastructure investment.”
