On behalf of developer, Hale, commercial agents, Savills and Modus Property Group have been appointed to lease the new CityPort Cold Stores facility at Morningside, Queensland.

The property marks the largest speculative cold storage development ever introduced in Queensland, offering a significant opportunity for businesses seeking modern cold storage solutions.

David Gibson – Modus commented that the Southern TradeCoast precinct is the most concentrated market for cold storage in Queensland, with 50% of the built form product being in this market. We are excited to be working on this project for Hale and are confident the design and location meets the criteria for a range of occupiers looking to explore modernised facilities to avoid future building obsolescence issues and create efficiencies. 

Callum Stenson – Savills said both Savills and Modus are proud to be involved in the marketing of CityPort Cold Stores a brand new state of the art cold store, located in the heart of Morningside. With tenancy areas from 6,200 square metres to 19,530 square metres and construction have already commenced, we believe that the enquiry level will be strong from tenants that will be looking to move to more modern efficient premises.

Nicholas Bradley – Hale said Hale is excited to be bringing CityPort Cold Stores to the market, in the strategically established infill industrial market of Morningside, nestled between Brisbane CBD and Brisbane Port. 

“Construction is underway, with practical completion targeted mid 2025. The CityPort site will offer flexible Cold Store tenancy options, advanced temperature-controlled environments, and internal heights that can support high-density storage. “

CityPort Cold Stores is a state-of-the-art facility located at 347 Lytton Road in the heart of the TradeCoast precinct. This prime location offers excellent accessibility to key transport routes, including the Port of Brisbane, the Gateway Motorway, and the CBD.

The facility spans a total area of 19,530 square metres and offers flexible tenancy options ranging from 6,200 to 19,530 square metres. CityPort Cold Stores is equipped with advanced refrigeration and freezer technology, featuring a dual capability design that includes 50% freezer and 50% chiller space.
