Most people believe that industrial is leading the commercial property market here in Perth, and that assessment is certainly justified by the level of enquiry and activity we’re experiencing first-hand here at Realmark Commercial.

So, why is the increase in demand for industrial property on the rise?

Firstly, the pandemic has driven demand for industrial space. Take Australia Post for example. They’ve expanded their operations, totalling an extra 11,000 sqm in the suburbs of Kewdale and Welshpool due to COVID-19 driving a serious increase in distribution demands.

Our team are receiving an increase in enquiry from distribution centres, along with transport and logistic companies who are seeking advice on what spaces are available in the short to medium term to scale up if and when required.

Other asset classes that continue to drive demand for industrial property in Perth are mining and mining equipment - due to a number of key projects taking off in WA. As well as electrical, fabrication and the service industries.

Ultimately, the fundamentals for the industrial property sector here in Perth remain sound. If this trend continues, we expect the price of industrial property to increase as a result of the uptick in demand.
