Plans in for second phase of major logistics hub

Since 2014, 47.5 MSF of industrial space have been constructed in Metro Detroit. A surge in demand from E-commerce and Logistics/Distribution/3PL sectors created new warehouse requirements that exceeded existing market inventory. Warehouse developments have accounted for 33.6 MSF or 70% of overall new construction, significantly outpacing all other industrial subtypes. Despite substantial growth in demand for manufacturing space during this period, the ample existing inventory of available manufacturing space has led to fewer new manufacturing developments.

Exciting times ahead

📉 Why are logistics and warehouse operators moving from Sydney to Melbourne? The high costs of land and infrastructure in Sydney are pushing many logistics operators to look for more affordable alternatives in Melbourne and Brisbane. According to Cushman & Wakefield data, vacant industrial land values in Sydney have soared to nearly $2,000/sqm, vastly outpacing Melbourne and Brisbane. In addition, prime occupancy costs in Sydney—including rents and outgoings—are 85% higher than in Melbourne, making Melbourne's lower cost base a clear competitive advantage. The result? Many national logistics and distribution hubs are relocating to Melbourne, where businesses benefit from not only lower land prices but also reduced building and labor costs.

Proposals for a new logistics hub in the North of England have been tabled, aiming to serve the major cities of Liverpool and Manchester. This strategic hub would act as a vital link between these urban centers, major road networks, and the two most significant railway lines in the region. The proposed hub would facilitate the efficient movement of goods, reducing reliance on road transport and minimizing environmental impact. It would provide a modern and integrated infrastructure for freight handling, including warehousing, distribution centers, and intermodal facilities. The development of this logistics hub is expected to create significant economic benefits for the region, including job creation, increased trade, and improved connectivity. It would play a crucial role in supporting the growth of businesses and enhancing the overall competitiveness of the North of England in the global marketplace.
