Construction underway at Mirvac's Auburn industrial estate switchyard

Construction commencement was celebrated on-site with Mirvac’s Head of Integrated Investment Portfolio, Campbell Hanan joining Mirvac team members, future Switchyard tenants and other guests.  

The future employment precinct will support a range of local industries once complete including production and manufacturing, will provide local amenity for future employees and the broader community. Customer interest in the estate has been strong with over 38% of the estate already pre-committed. 

In total the facility will deliver approximately 72,000 square metres of floor space with completion expected in early 2023. 

Mirvac’s Head of Integrated Investment Portfolio, Campbell Hanan, said Switchyard presents an exciting opportunity to leverage Mirvac’s unique integrated model, and asset creation capability. 

“Switchyard is the first project to commence within our $2.3bn industrial development pipeline and highlights our capability in delivering these state of the art precincts across New South Wales. 

“Within a market characterised by older stock, exceptional quality will differentiate Switchyard. Our vision has been well received by the market with significant interest from a range of customers from recreation uses to a range of manufacturing, pet distributors and a café - set to provide local amenity for future employees and the broader community. 

“Sustainability is at the heart of the vision and design for Switchyard which incorporates a range of market leading features including a smart metering system to track and control energy use, LED lighting to reduce electricity costs, rooftop and hot water solar, provision for electrical vehicle charging stations, a smart warehouse to maximise comfort and optimise energy use and recycled rainwater for onsite irrigation and amenities. Switchyard is targeting a 5 star green star Australia sustainability rating and certification,” said Mr Hanan.
