Industrial property in Oxley, Brisbane — lease, sale & leaseback and build-to-suit

Local context

Why Oxley is strategic

Oxley sits at the inner, CBD-facing end of the Outer South-West corridor, approximately 12–15 km south-west of the Brisbane CBD depending on the measure, with direct access to the Ipswich Motorway and a station on the duplicated Darra-to-Corinda rail line. It is genuinely mixed in character — a substantial residential population alongside an established industrial core — which gives the suburb both a ready local workforce and the connectivity advantages of sitting on a major freight artery. Seventeen Mile Rocks Road links Oxley westward toward Seventeen Mile Rocks and Darra.

The industrial heart of Oxley runs along corridors such as Blunder Road, Factory Road and Boundary Road, where the building stock is predominantly general-industry product — freestanding office-warehouse facilities and mid-sized distribution premises. Representative assets include multi-thousand-square-metre office-warehouse holdings on Blunder Road, with stock zoned for general industry supporting a range of warehousing, manufacturing and distribution uses. Lying around 12 radial kilometres from the CBD, Oxley offers occupiers a meaningfully closer-in position than Wacol while retaining direct motorway access.

Oxley's demand drivers centre on accessibility and proximity. For occupiers whose operations are weighted toward the inner south and the CBD — last-mile distribution, trade supply, light manufacturing and service businesses — Oxley's combination of Ipswich Motorway frontage, rail access and a closer-in location is compelling. The adjoining Seventeen Mile Rocks precinct, positioned high on a ridge with CBD views, has seen recent small-format development activity, signalling continued investor and owner-occupier appetite across this inner-corridor pocket. As an established suburb, Oxley's supply is largely set, with new product arriving mainly through redevelopment and infill.

For a permanent-hold investor, Oxley's value lies in its position on the corridor's inner edge: an established, well-located industrial pocket that benefits from both motorway connectivity and proximity to Brisbane's dense southern catchment. The general-industry zoning and freestanding building stock suit the single-tenant distribution, trade and light-manufacturing assets at the heart of Walter Taylor's mandate. Where a business-critical facility leased to a sound operator becomes available, our sale-and-leaseback, build-to-suit and direct-acquisition approach applies — acquiring and holding for the long term, in partnership with the commercial agency community.

Typical asset types here

General-industry-zoned freestanding office-warehouses; mid-sized distribution and trade-supply facilities; light manufacturing premises; smaller workstore/strata units in the adjoining Seventeen Mile Rocks pocket; and infill and redevelopment sites.

What drives demand

• Inner-corridor location — around 12–15 km from the CBD, meaningfully closer-in than Wacol while retaining direct motorway access.
• Ipswich Motorway frontage and exposure — direct access to a primary freight artery, with arterial visibility along Blunder Road.
• Rail connectivity — Oxley station on the duplicated Darra-to-Corinda line supporting workforce access and network reach.
• Large local catchment — a substantial mixed residential-industrial population suiting last-mile, trade and service operators.
• Established amenity with infill upside — a mature suburb where new supply comes via redevelopment, supporting scarcity.
