This time last week members of the NSW team swapped high-vis for high-fashion as we joined our valued partner @kari_australia to celebrate their 25-year anniversary at the International Convention Centre Sydney (@iccsyd).

For those unfamiliar with the work of Kari Australia, they are an Indigenous not-for-profit organisation building community strength, supporting wellbeing & enriching lives through programs & services.

We look forward to continuing to work closely with Kari to support social initiatives and procurement in addition to a range of education and training initiatives already in place.

We are pleased to announce the completion of @isptproperty’s speculative facility, covering 18,430 square meters at 9 Bessemer Business Park in Blacktown, NSW. In addition, ISPT has successfully secured a lease commitment for the entire facility with Australia Post.

The final facility within ISPT’s Bessemer Business Park is packed with sustainability features, including 394kW of solar harvesting connected to 6 Tesla power walls, solar hot water, reduced carbon concrete, 100% LED lighting and a 120kL rainwater reuse tank.

The development is targeting a 5-Star Green Star (Design & As-built) accreditation, this facility is designed to minimise environmental impact and future-proof against rising energy, water, and operational costs.

A big thank you to the ISPT development team, project managers and the dedicated site and project teams for delivering this exceptional facility.

Progress is powering ahead at Aliro Group’s 73,320 sqm Somerville Road Estate in Tottenham, with significant updates across both Stage 2 and Stage 3!

Stage 2, a four-tenancy, 51,230 sqm facility, is progressing at pace with roof installation almost finalised. This facility, situated in a prime location just 10km from Melbourne CBD and 9km from the Port of Melbourne, is already attracting considerable leasing interest thanks to its excellent freight and rail connectivity.

Meanwhile, Stage 3, a 22,000 sqm dual-tenancy, speculative cold storage facility, is progressing steadily with steel erection currently underway.

We look forward to sharing more updates as both facilities continue taking shape!

With the AFL season now finished, we wanted to extend a special mention to two members of our Victorian team who tasted premiership success this year.

On Friday, Andrew Jelbart captained @oldscotchfc to their first @vafahq Premier A-Grade flag since 1978, raising the cup for the first time in 46 years! A massive achievement for a great leader both on the field and in the office.

And in the West Gippsland Football league Luke Bettio also celebrated a Seniors Premiership with @nngfc3812.

Congratulations to both Texcoans and anyone who took part in organised winter sports over the past season.

We’re pleased to announce the completion of our repeat client Charter Hall’s 18,862 sqm facility within their CoreWest Logistics Hub in Truganina.

With over 140,000 sqm delivered to-date for Charter Hall, this A-grade industrial facility — designed to achieve a 5-Star Green Star As Built rating — marks a significant addition to their 32-hectare CoreWest development.

A big thank you to the delivery and site teams, Project Managers Mane Projects and Charter Hall, for their dedication and effort in bringing this project to life.

We couldn't be more pleased to have a person of this quality joining our team with Marcus Cooper set to join the NSW office in the coming weeks as our new Construction Manager.

As part of our steady growth in the NSW marketplace, attracting someone of Marcus's calibre and experience reflects the hard work our dedicated site and project teams have put in, as well as the trust our clients place in us to deliver.

Marcus's extensive experience and strong relationships in the NSW Industrial Design and Construct market position him perfectly to elevate our offerings, support our team, and enhance service to our NSW clients. We can't wait for him to dive into our ever-expanding portfolio of work and opportunities!

On Friday morning last week four members of the Texco team tee’d off for charity at the 3rd Annual @rmhc_sydney Golf Day hosted by @stmichaelsgolf.

Thanks to the fantastic work of all who took part, fundraised and donated - over $130,000 was raised to support our sick and injured kids and their families – with a special shout-out to Principal Sponsor of the event ESR Group for their contributions on the day.

We jumped at the opportunity to sponsor a hole at this year’s event - with our nominated hole having a ‘putt with kids clubs’ theme. We could try and explain it here, but the pictures tell a better story.

Glad to have had an opportunity to contribute in a small way to this magnificent day and cause and can’t wait to get back on the green next year.

On Friday, 17 members of the Texco cycling flock clipped in and took on 100km of riding in the mountainous Terrey Hills of NSW to raise much needed funds and awareness for the plight of homeless youth in Australia thanks to the @propertyindustryfoundation.

Its our third year taking part in this event - and our first time in NSW - with the Texco team able to contribute over $30,000 to the $320,000 fundraised on the day.

A massive and sincere thankyou to all those who contributed what they were able to for this cause and congratulations to all participants who either cycled, ran or walked on the day, as every dollar raised represents an opportunity to change a life and raise awareness of this increasingly significant social issue.

We’ll be back on the bike later this year to ride in the Victorian Tour De Pif on November 15th … so more bike spam (and requests for donations) coming soon!

Congratulations to our repeat-client, The GPT Group, on achieving a 5 Star Green Star certification for its 31,677sqm facility (Stage 6) within the Gateway Logistics Hub in Truganina.

🌱 Low water use design with 50kL RWT included that is predicted to reduce potable water demand by 93%

💡Low energy design with LED lighting and 200kW solar PV that is predicted to reduce operational energy use for base building by 81%

☀️ High quality indoor environment quality with high quality daylight provision throughout, increased fresh air rates, and good acoustic performance achieved

♻️ Certified under the Climate Active standard as being a Carbon Neutral building in construction

🏅 Certified by GBCA to achieve 5 Star Green Star Design & As Built v1.3 rating

Working with The GPT Group across all six stages - and over 140,000 sqm - of their Gateway Logistics Hub has been a rewarding experience, and we are proud to have contributed to this significant milestone. A big thank you to the project team and Sustainable Development Consultants for making this certification possible.

After the successful completion of an extensive earthworks program, it’s great to see steel going up at @goodman.group‘s 26,000 sqm Axle West project in Eastern Creek, NSW!

Located on the doorstep of Western Sydney’s Aerotropolis, this A-grade industrial facility has already been committed to a customer.

As progress ramps up across the remainder of the year, we can’t wait to share more updates as construction progresses.

Works are absolutely flying along at Dexus’ six-tenancy, two-facility 17,946sqm Velociti Industrial Estate in Moorebank NSW.

Roofing is complete and cladding well-progressed on both the East and West facility with roofing also installed across the 45m (wide) breezeway separating the two buildings.

An integral component of the estate the breezeway will allow seamless connectivity from the M5 freeway for tenancies within the estate.

Tenancies at the Velociti Industrial Estate range in size from 2,000 sqm to 3,250 sqm. We look forward to sharing further updates as the progress continues to progress towards completion over the coming months.

There have been some significant updates coming out of the final 59,000 sqm, two facility, four tenancy stage of the Broadmeadows Logistics Estate.

The structure on the first half of the site is up, the roof on and external cladding nearing completion. Along the second portion of the site, earthworks are complete footings poured and steel to be erected in the coming month.

One of the first industrial estates in Victoria to target a Green Star Communities rating, we’re excited to welcome the newest additions to an exceptional group of existing tenants (including Allied Express, Holman and GPC Asia Pacific) in the coming months.

Stay tuned for more updates.

With the roof up, and cladding complete, attention has shifted indoors within Super Retail Group’s 65,000 sqm facility at @goodman.group ‘s RBR Hub in Truganina.

Internal slab pours are complete and we are now preparing for the commencement of the automation fitout. With this, we move one step closer to delivering this state-of-the-art facility that will be home to some of Australia’s most well-known household names.

Having recently handed over the keys to Provincial Home Living’s 22,500 sqm facility within the same estate, we look forward to providing more updates as we continue to progress towards project completion.

Over the weekend, 16 team members from our NSW office pounded the pavement and participated in Sydney’s famous 14km City2Surf “fun” run to raise funds for the @kari_australia Foundation.

While there were some interesting facial expressions towards the finish line, it was all smiles before and after the race with the team raising over $20,000 to help fund Kari’s mission of supporting Aboriginal people and communities across Australia.

Well done to all competitors and a special congratulation to Scotty Griffin who crossed the line 1st for Team Texco on the day, gaining bragging rights until we go again next year (just ask him I’m sure he’ll happily tell you ALL about it).

An absolutely integral component of all of our projects, concrete literally sets the foundations for a successful delivery for our clients.

Considering how much time we spend working with concrete, it was a real treat having members of the NSW team hosted by one of our sub-contractors @gunlake_group to learn more about the concrete supply process at their Preston concrete plant.

How concrete is batched and produced, how fibres are added to concrete, where materials are stored, how it is loaded into trucks as well as a look into concrete Testing labs and how test are undertaken represents just a snapshot of what was covered during this extensive site visit.

Education and learning is an incredibly important part of what we do here at Texco, empowering our people to grow and level-up in their roles. A big thanks again to the team at Gunlake for taking time out of your busy schedules to show us around.

A pleasure to once again be out on site at the Melbourne Airport Business Park, this time celebrating the commencement of construction for future tenants COPE Sensitive Freight at their new 22,000 sqm facility.

With representatives from @pomeroypacific, @melbourneairportau and @cbre also in attendance it was a great opportunity to bring together project partners to acknowledge this important milestone.

In addition to this 22,000 sqm, works are also well underway just around the corner at Melbourne Airports 32,000 sqm Spec Bravo and Charlie facilities - bringing our total sqm under construction with Melbourne Airport to over 54,000 sqm.

Works are now complete on Provincial Home Living’s 22,500 sqm industrial space at @goodman.group’s RBR Hub in Truganina. The new space, set on an 88 hectare estate, is designed to support Provincial Home Living’s mission of providing high-quality, timeless furniture and homewares throughout Australia.

A big thank you to the dedicated project and site team for their hard work to deliver this facility and to Goodman Group for trusting us with another project.

We look forward to seeing Provincial Home Living thrive in their brand new facility.

Having delivered over 300,000 sqm over the past 2 years for @goodman.group, and with 95,000sqm currently under construction, we’re thrilled to be heading back to Moorabbin Airport to deliver a 10,672sqm automated distribution facility for customer Lawrence & Hanson.

This project is adjacent to the McCormick facility which we delivered in 2022, bringing the combined size of both facilities to over 35,000sqm.

We look forward to seeing Lawrence & Hanson, Australia’s premier electrical wholesaler, light up Moorabbin in their new space.

Stay tuned for more updates as we work through this project.

Shining a spotlight on another recent completion within Frasers Property Industrial Canvas West Logistics estate, a 27,569 sqm facility (of which 12,016 sqm was leased by @komatsu_australia) completed late last year.

In addition to the 25,049 sqm completed last year at the National Tiles and Knauf facility - as well as the 70,000 sqm facility for VidaXL completed in 2022 - this brings our total sqm delivered at Canvas West to over 120,000 sqm.

A staple on Texco Construction sites, we hope Komatsu Australia find their new home as reliable as we find their heavy-equipment on-site.
