North Lakes Business Park Continues to Grow   8th March 2010

March 2, 2010

North Lakes Business Park is well on its way to becoming one of South East Queensland’s premier business destinations, with Stockland launching the next two stages of the thriving project.

The new stages include 27 new lots ranging in size from 1,982sqm to 5,117sqm and are suitable for a wide variety of commercial and light industrial uses. Four super lots have also been released, ranging from 4-7 hectares and ideally suited to national organisations seeking a foothold in Brisbane’s booming northern corridor. North Lakes Business Park is a key component of Stockland’s award-winning masterplanned North Lakes community, located adjacent to the Town Centre.

The first tenants of the business park have already commenced operations with several more local businesses expected to open their doors soon. Stockland’s National Trading Manager Troy Bryant says the company is delighted with the strong recent sales activity, which is set to continue during 2010.

“We have seen a major pick-up in confidence among buyers as they realise what a regional economic powerhouse the North Lakes community is becoming,’’ Bryant says.

“Around 12,000 people live in this emerging satellite city which is perfectly located for business because of its proximity to the Brisbane CBD, the Sunshine Coast and the airport,” he says.

A ‘green’ focus

Sustainability is a major hallmark of the North Lakes Business Park with several key measures, such as a unique $100,000 Green Fund to encourage companies to use superior sustainable building practices. The Stockland fund is believed to be a first for Queensland and is aimed at creating one of the state’s most environmentally friendly locations to work and do business.

Other sustainability measures include detailed guidelines which encourage owners and tenants to use sustainability initiatives in building designs. The business park also features its own high-speed fibre optic cable network, which is available to all tenants.

Existing businesses operating from the project include Snowdonia Air-conditioning Services, Bridgestone Tyre Centre and Airconditioning Direct. New companies starting operations include children’s swim school Aquatic Achievers, car service company Ultra Tune, and engineering consultancy MineCraft.

Located approximately 30 minutes from Brisbane’s CBD and 40 minutes from the Sunshine Coast, North Lakes Business Park is suitable for a variety of business uses, such as light/industrial, wholesale, bulky retail and high tech industry.
