Cross-border collaboration drives successful acquisition for expanding east coast owner-occupier amid record-low supply levels.
Colliers is proud to announce the successful off-market transaction of 145–147 Williams Road, Dandenong South, brokered by Steph Archer and Edward Fanning from the Melbourne East Industrial & Logistics team. The purchaser, was introduced by Sam Thomlinson from the South Sydney Industrial & Logistics team, showcasing the strength of Colliers’ national collaboration and the value of cross-border client relationships.
The Sydney-based owner-occupier, which operates along the east coast of Australia, was actively seeking to expand into the Melbourne market to support its growing business operations. The acquisition of this 1,000sqm facility represents a strategic move, enabling the business to strengthen its supply chain and service capabilities in Victoria.
The property features dual access points – a rare and highly sought-after feature for a facility of this size – offering operational flexibility and efficiency. Located in one of Melbourne’s most tightly held industrial precincts, the asset attracted strong interest due to the region’s historically low vacancy rates and limited supply of quality industrial stock.
“This transaction is a great example of how our national platform enables us to deliver exceptional outcomes for our clients,” said Steph Archer. “By leveraging our internal networks and maintaining strong relationships across state lines, we were able to identify the right opportunity and facilitate a seamless acquisition process.”
Edward Fanning added, “The industrial market in Melbourne’s southeast continues to experience significant demand, driven by constrained supply and the growth of owner-occupiers seeking strategic footholds. Properties like this are achieving strong results, and we expect this trend to continue.”
Sam Thomlinson, who introduced the purchaser, commented, “This deal highlights the collaborative spirit within Colliers. By working together across our interstate offices, we were able to match a motivated buyer with a rare opportunity, reinforcing our commitment to delivering value through teamwork and deep market knowledge.”
Colliers’ ability to connect clients with opportunities across borders is a key differentiator in today’s competitive market. This transaction underscores the importance of collaboration, agility, and client-centric thinking in achieving successful outcomes.
