Leading Asia-Pacific logistics specialist, LOGOS, has commenced construction for a 9,845sqm, temperature-controlled distribution warehouse for Ingham’s at LOGOS’ Hazelmere Logistics Estate, WA, who have taken a long-term lease on the facility.

In operation for more than 100 years and now listed as an ASX-company, Ingham’s is the largest integrated poultry producer across Australia and New Zealand, providing their products to major retailers, QSR operators, food service distributors, and wholesalers. Ingham’s will be joining other major customers at the Hazelmere Logistics Estate including DHL, Primary Connect (Woolworths Limited), Fisher & Paykel and McPhee Distribution.

LOGOS’ Hazelmere Logistics Estate is set to provide an abundance of opportunities for the area, including employment and economic growth. With its location adjacent to some of Perth’s major arterial roads, the estate is easily accessible for occupiers. The facility covers a site area of 24,700sqm and a building area of 9,845sqm, comprising a temperature-controlled distribution warehouse, and an environmentally conscious design, targeting a 5 Star Green Star Rating. Key sustainability initiatives include a 500kw solar system, 455kL rainwater tank, and sustainability and transparency in material procurement including a minimum of 80% of construction waste to be re-used or recycled. The warehouse will be used to serve Ingham’s various stock, with the use of its freezer and chiller rooms, multipurpose rooms, weight label rooms, and more, allowing for distribution within WA, nationally, and internationally.

Leveraging the Estate’s location and strong customer interest, LOGOS is speculatively developing a 19,000 sqm facility adjacent to the Ingham’s facility. The spec facility will offer tenants flexible space between 6,300sqm-19,000sqm and is due to reach completion in August 2023.

The completion of the speculative development and Ingham's facility will mark the completion of the 20-ha estate. The completed estate will offer 96,000 sqm of prime-grade logistics space.
