Hardstand Income with
Development Opportunity
This freehold industrial site combines reliable holding income with significant future potential. The 4,164 m² land parcel is fully functional as a secure hardstand facility, offering B-Double approved access and efficient circulation for heavy vehicles. Currently generating approximately $172,389 in net income each year on a five-year lease, the property provides stable cash flow underpinned by annual reviews of CPI or 3 per cent, whichever is greater.
With IN2 General Industry zoning and capacity for up to 60 per cent site coverage, the land can accommodate a future development of around 2,500 m² NLA. The site has also been infilled to meet flood and coastal hazard requirements, further strengthening its long-term viability as both an income-producing asset and a development-ready opportunity.
Since the acquisition, a parcel of land within 200m of this site sold for $1,100/m² and it is yet to be benched for development. Current market value shows an uplift of $500,000+ within 6 months of purchase. Overall, a great result for the client in a short period of time.

Opportunity
The property presented a rare balance of strong current returns and the ability to create future value. With the existing lease set at rental levels below current market benchmarks, there is scope for positive rent reversion at the next review. This built-in upside provides an opportunity for income growth without requiring additional capital works.
Beyond the income profile, the underlying land value creates long-term optionality. Demand for modern industrial facilities in this precinct remains high, and the capacity to deliver around 2,500 m² of new improvements positions the site as a credible development play. For investors, this combination of secure holding income and future flexibility represents a compelling opportunity in a market where supply is increasingly constrained.
Outcome:
MCommercial went beyond standard checks to make sure this acquisition was not only safe but strategically positioned for long-term growth. We uncovered the full potential of the site by verifying the zoning, confirming its flood resilience, and ensuring the demolition clause and cash security worked in the purchaser’s favour. We also dug into market data to show that the lease was under-rented, uncovering an immediate uplift opportunity of $10–$15 per square metre at review.
By preparing detailed benchmarking, building feasibility modelling, and replacement cost comparisons, we equipped our client with the information they needed to act with confidence. Every element from the security of the current lease to the ability to develop up to 2,500 m² of improvements was presented in a clear roadmap that balanced today’s income with tomorrow’s upside.
For our client, this meant securing an asset that ticks both boxes: reliable income now and the flexibility to create substantial capital growth in the future.
