Prime industrial facility at 23 Jamieson Way, Dandenong South

Colliers facilitates tailored lease at 23 Jamieson Way, Dandenong South, enabling national consolidation and operational scale-up.

Colliers has successfully negotiated the off-market lease of a prime industrial facility at 23 Jamieson Way, Dandenong South, to Dormakaba Australia, in a deal that will see the global access solutions provider consolidate three of its key business units—Ezi-Roll, Danmar Garage Doors and Gilderol—under one roof.

The 5,870 sqm high-clearance warehouse, situated on a substantial 14,132 sqm site, was secured through a targeted office/warehouse search led by Colliers’ Sam Hibbins and Gordon Code, with Hamish Troon acting as the ANZ Portfolio Manager for Dormakaba. The agreement includes a 1,000 sqm warehouse extension, upgraded power infrastructure, and the installation of a 5-tonne overhead crane to meet Dormakaba’s operational requirements.

Colliers Director, Portfolio & Transaction Management Services | Occupier Services, Hamish Troon, said, “Dormakaba needed a site that could support the integration of three distinct business units into one cohesive manufacturing and distribution hub with the south-east of Melbourne being key to the business.”

“We undertook a comprehensive search across the market, and through our off-market network, we identified 23 Jamieson Way as a standout opportunity. The landlord was open to working collaboratively on upgrades including a warehouse extension, power augmentation and crane installation, which made the deal viable and tailored to Dormakaba’s long-term needs,” Mr Troon added.

Tania Adams, Head of Property at Dormakaba, said the new facility marks a significant milestone for the business. “This move enables us to bring together three of our key brands into one integrated manufacturing and distribution hub. The property’s features and location will support our growth ambitions and enhance our operational efficiency across Australia.”

Colliers Associate Director Sam Hibbins noted, “We’re continuing to see robust demand from occupiers looking for well-located, high-spec industrial assets in Melbourne’s south east, particularly from occupiers seeking long-term operational certainty and customisation potential.”

“The area’s connectivity to major arterials and access to a skilled labour pool make the south east one of the most sought-after industrial locations in the country. Dormakaba had a unique and time-

sensitive requirement, with a need to be operational by Q4 2025, and through our deep market intelligence and relationships, we were able to identify and secure this off-market opportunity that aligned perfectly with their operational goals,” Mr Hibbins added.
