The 27,152 sqm landholding at 125–129 Sheffield Road comes to market at a time when large, operational ready facilities within core precincts are becoming harder to source. A key feature is the existing power capacity of around 4.5 MVA, infrastructure that is increasingly difficult to secure all major industrial precincts, and a key driver that is becoming a critical consideration for occupiers.
For sale through Andrew Fife and Ross Palframan of Cushman & Wakefield, the asset is improved with 7,663 sqm of accommodation and a low site cover of only 28%, providing flexibility for future expansion or reconfiguration. That optionality is increasingly being by both owner-occupiers and investors look to balance near-term usability with longer-term repositioning potential.
This trend reflects a broader shift across the industrial sector, where access to power, proximity to freight infrastructure and the ability to scale operations are becoming as critical as traditional metrics such as location and land value. In infill markets like Welshpool, where land supply is non-existent and infrastructure largely fixed, opportunities to secure sites with embedded capacity are limited.
Andrew Fife, Senior Director at Cushman & Wakefield, said enquiry is being driven by groups seeking to establish a longer-term presence within tightly held precincts.
“Opportunities of this scale, power capacity and infill positioning are exceptionally rare in Welshpool. Assets that can be occupied immediately while offering a clear runway for expansion or redevelopment are becoming increasingly difficult to secure.”
The site’s connectivity to Roe Highway, the Kewdale freight hub and Perth Airport reinforces its relevance within the broader logistics network, supporting a range of industrial uses and underpinning its appeal across multiple buyer groups.
Ross Palframan, Senior Director at Cushman & Wakefield, said the flexibility of the asset is resonating in the current environment.
“The ability to occupy, expand or reposition an asset of this scale within a land-constrained core infill market is a compelling proposition across all market conditions.
“With vacant possession, the offering provides immediate control, aligning with a continued preference among some buyers for assets that can be deployed or adapted without lease constraints”.
Cushman & Wakefield has been exclusively appointed to offer 125-129 Sheffield Road for sale via Expressions of Interest, closing Thursday, 7 May at 4:00pm (AWST).
