Australia Post secures Edgeworth industrial facility in strategic lease and sale transaction

Edgeworth NSW, April 2026 – Australia Post has secured the industrial facility at 2 Aluminium Close, Edgeworth, following a strategic transaction structured by Commercial Collective, with the property leased and sold in a single coordinated outcome after initially being taken to market for sale with vacant possession.

The 2,135sqm* industrial facility generated more than 80 enquiries throughout the campaign and attracted leasing interest from Australia Post during the sales process. Recognising the opportunity to strengthen the transaction while still achieving the owner’s objective of a sale, Industrial Executives George Stylianos and Craig Watson aligned a local private investor to acquire the property subject to the new lease. The resulting structure enabled the team to facilitate both the lease and sale concurrently, delivering an enhanced outcome for the owner while securing a national occupier for the property.

Commercial Collective Executive George Stylianos said the transaction demonstrated the increasingly strategic nature of industrial campaigns in the current market. “In many cases, the best outcome is not always the one originally envisaged when a property is brought to market,” Mr Stylianos said. “This campaign evolved through active engagement with the market. Once Australia Post’s interest emerged, we identified an opportunity to strengthen the overall transaction by pairing that leasing demand with investor appetite for securely leased industrial assets.”

Senior Executive Craig Watson said the result highlighted the value of adaptability and proactive transaction management in a more considered market environment. “Owners are relying on agents to do more than simply expose an asset to market. They need strategic advice, market interpretation, and the ability to pivot when opportunities arise,” Mr Watson said.

Located within Edgeworth’s tightly held industrial precinct, 2 Aluminium Close comprises a substantial freestanding industrial facility positioned on a 3,980sqm* site with three street frontages, four roller doors, internal loading dock and high-clearance warehouse accommodation. The property’s scale and flexibility generated strong interest from both occupiers and investors throughout the campaign.

The transaction reinforces the continued strength of investor demand for well-located industrial assets underpinned by national tenant covenant, particularly where leasing outcomes can be leveraged to create enhanced sale conditions.
