Goodman Property Trust has secured significant new development commitments from existing customers Mainfreight and Cotton On, at the Trust's Savill Link and Roma Road Estates. The Trust has also commenced two smaller build-to-lease projects at Roma Road. It adds to the existing development workbook, with a total of $635.7 million of projects now underway, driven by a constrained leasing market and growing digital economy.

The larger of the four new developments announced is a 23,300 sqm twin warehouse facility for Mainfreight at Savill Link in Otahuhu. It complements a supersite facility also underway for the global logistics provider at the Trust's Favona Road Estate in Mangere. Business growth has also led to additional space requirements for fashion retailer, Cotton On.

The customer is more than doubling its footprint within the portfolio with a new 17,300 sqm design-build solution at Roma Road. To help meet current and future demand two build-to-lease warehouses are also being developed at the brownfield estate in Mt Roskill. An increasingly active approach to mitigating climate change impacts and improving wellbeing is driving customers to seek out more energy efficient and sustainable property solutions.

Infill locations, close to consumers and transport infrastructure, are also being preferred for the competitive advantage they offer with faster delivery and the potential for lower transport emissions.
