In response to the shortage, developer H-CAPITAL has announced plans to bring much-needed supply to the area with a high-quality speculative development at 165 South Pine Road, Brendale, offering flexible tenancies from 130 sqm* up to 10,000 sqm*. The project, designed by McVeigh Consultants, has received DA approval and is set for completion in September 2026, set to deliver some of the most prominent and versatile new stock in Brisbane’s north.
National building material supplier, ATS Building Products have pre-committed to a purpose-built 5,000sqm* facility on the site, which will act as their major SEQ depot.
Brendale has long been one of south-east Queensland’s most sought-after industrial precincts, prized for its excellent connectivity to major arterials including South Pine Road, Linkfield Road and the Bruce Highway, as well as its proximity to the Brisbane CBD, Port of Brisbane and Brisbane Airport.
The new development sits on a 30,760 sqm site with 300 metres* of frontage to South Pine Road and will feature multiple buildings ranging from 130 sqm* to 6,000 sqm*, with a total building area of 15,905 sqm.
Facilities will include up to 12.2m ridge heights, container-height roller doors, B-double access, 24/7 operational approval, and an onsite café. McVeigh Consultants have designed the project to offer flexibility and visual appeal while maximising exposure for tenants.
H-CAPITAL said the estate was conceived to set a new benchmark for Brendale. “We wanted to create a landmark industrial asset that caters to a wide range of occupiers while maintaining the design quality and operational efficiency the market expects,” said Haytham Moshi “McVeigh’s design captures that balance of functionality and exposure that will make this a sought-after address.”
The property is for lease through Morgan Ruig, Mitch Taulelei and Luis Plazibat of Cushman & Wakefield who said with demand from trade, logistics and building-supply occupiers showing no sign of easing, developers are increasingly looking to speculative construction to meet the market.
Morgan Ruig, Director, Head of Brokerage Logistics & Industrial- QLD at Cushman & Wakefield, said enquiry levels in Brisbane’s north continue to outstrip available stock. “Demand for high-quality, well-located industrial facilities in Brendale remains exceptionally strong.
“We’re seeing national and local occupiers struggling to find suitable options, so developments like this are being welcomed by the market” he said.
With vacancy across the Moreton Bay region hovering near record lows and infrastructure investment continuing to drive industrial expansion, rents in the Brendale area are now sitting around $200 per sqm net.
