Big projects include a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theaustralian.com.au\/news\/australia-post-reveals-new-500m-sorting-centre\/video\/cc745f34db754adf635510563638e743\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">parcel super hub to be built in Adelaide<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The Sydney industrial and logistics properties in Alexandria and Minchinbury span about 13ha of combined land and will be chased by investors keen on property backed by Australia Post. Colliers agents Gavin Bishop, Trent Gallagher, Michael Crombie and Sean Thomson are handling the sale.<\/p>\n<p>They comprise about 126,500sq m of industrial land and 52,295sq m of gross lettable area. They generate combined net commencing income of about $17.6m per annum with fixed annual rent reviews. \u201cThe depth of domestic and global capital targeting industrial real estate has continued to broaden with investors increasingly focused on the quality and durability of income alongside the underlying real estate,\u201d Mr Bishop said.<\/p>\n<p>The 36,500sq m Alexandria site includes an 18,632sq m distribution facility and incorporating warehouse space, offices, awnings and extensive hardstand. That industrial market is tightly held, partly as land use shifts toward higher and better uses.<\/p>\n<p>The Minchinbury property comprises an 90,000sq m holding with a 33,663sq m industrial facility including a large cross-dock warehouse, corporate office, workshop and associated improvements.<\/p>\n<p> The surrounding precinct is home to major occupiers including Aldi, Bunnings, StarTrack and Woolworths alongside institutional players including Charter Hall, ESR, Irongate and Mirvac.<\/p>\n<p>Australia Post has already <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theaustralian.com.au\/business\/property\/commercial\/australia-post-to-sell-seven-major-logistics-sites-in-huge-400m-deal\/news-story\/1d7dde8343184acfcf86fad0d0c805db\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">reaped about $400m from the sale and leaseback of seven high-quality logistics assets<\/a> across southeast Queensland, Sydney and Adelaide.
