South Brisbane Industrial Development in 2025: Expansion, Demand, and a Market Going Bezerk

South Brisbane’s industrial market has gone into overdrive. Once dominated by smaller trade zones and tightly held assets, the southern corridor is now the epicentre of industrial expansion in Greater Brisbane. From Yatala to Parkinson and down to the border of Logan and Ipswich, land is being snapped up, warehouses are being built, and demand is outpacing supply.

In 2025, South Brisbane is where industrial development is happening fastest—offering big opportunities for investors, developers, and owner-occupiers.

Land is being bought and built faster than ever

Southern Brisbane’s industrial land is moving at record pace. Developers are racing to subdivide, service, and release lots, with most estates selling out before completion.

• Fully serviced lots are being pre-sold well before civil works are done

• Owner-occupiers and SMEs are entering the market in larger numbers

• Big shed developers targeting 5,000–20,000m² tenants across Logan and Yatala

• Demand for land with B-double access, 24/7 zoning, and three-phase power is sky-high

The volume and speed of uptake is unlike anything seen in this area over the past decade.

Key growth zones dominating attention

The south side’s industrial explosion isn’t confined to one suburb—it’s happening across multiple high-growth zones with unique strengths.

• Yatala: the flagship corridor for large format warehousing, logistics, and interstate freight

• Crestmead: major private estate developments targeting trade, manufacturing and mid-size operators

• Parkinson & Larapinta: heavily occupied and highly sought-after, close to the Logan Motorway

• Redbank & Bundamba: near Ipswich, offering D&C opportunities and room for major tenants

• Logan Motorway corridor: high visibility and access to Ipswich, Gateway and Pacific Highways

Each zone is bringing in a mix of pre-lease, speculative, and strata-style developments.

Tenant demand is reshaping supply

Demand for new-generation industrial space is being fuelled by a broad mix of users, not just large corporates.

• E-commerce operators and 3PLs looking for scalable, smart warehouse space

• Local manufacturers seeking affordable, high-clearance units with office integration

• Trades and construction businesses upgrading from older sheds into modern stock

• National tenants targeting Brisbane’s south as a strategic location for last-mile delivery

This diversity in tenant demand is pushing developers to offer a wider range of sizes, formats, and finishes.

Infrastructure continues to support the boom

South Brisbane’s rapid industrial growth is supported by a solid network of transport infrastructure and ongoing investment.

• Logan Motorway and Gateway Motorway upgrades improving freight efficiency

• Proximity to the Port of Brisbane and Brisbane Airport via arterial routes

• Intermodal and logistics hubs expanding capacity across the southern corridor

• Local councils fast-tracking approvals and supporting industrial planning

Efficient transport access is a non-negotiable for today’s industrial users—and south Brisbane delivers.

Strong returns are attracting investors

Alongside owner-occupiers and developers, investors are increasingly active in the southern Brisbane industrial space. Yield compression has occurred, but high rents and capital growth potential remain strong.

• Yields for prime logistics assets sit in the low 5% range

• Strata units are attracting SMSF buyers and private investors

• Development sites with DA approval are commanding strong premiums

• Completed stock is leasing quickly, minimising hold periods

This is one of the few markets where speculative industrial development is still delivering strong risk-adjusted returns.

What this means for property owners

If you own land or older industrial property in Brisbane’s southern corridor, now is the time to evaluate its potential.

• Large landholders are being approached off-market by developers

• Smaller sites are being consolidated and repositioned for resale

• Tired stock can be upgraded or rebuilt to meet modern leasing demand

• Selling with the right visuals and campaign can dramatically increase enquiry

The southern industrial market is competitive—professional marketing makes a real difference.
