Freestanding Double-Storey Industrial Facility with Dual Yards – 8 Imola Place, Westmead

Positioned in the well-established Westmead industrial precinct, 8 Imola Place offers a rare combination of accessibility, functionality, and split-level flexibility, making it ideally suited to a wide range of users – from logistics and distribution operators to light manufacturers or owner-occupiers seeking long-term value.

This face-brick, double-storey industrial building measures approximately 1,440m² under roof and is split across two independent warehouse floors, each with its own secure yard, roller shutter access, and office amenities. The site is fully walled and gated, allowing for privacy, vehicle control, and independent use of each level if required. Whether leased as two separate spaces or used as a consolidated headquarters, the layout supports multiple configurations without significant changes.

The ground floor spans ±700m² with 5-meter internal height and two front-facing roller shutter doors. A 600m² private yard services this level, allowing easy movement for light trucks and storage containers. Offices, a kitchen, and ablutions with showers are already in place for daily operations.

The upper level comprises ±620m² of open warehouse space, enhanced by a ±120m² steel mezzanine for additional storage or light production. With 6.1m apex height and a 300m² private yard accessed via a separate ramp, this level accommodates container truck deliveries. A plug-and-play generator setup is also installed – a major plus for users needing energy resilience. The flexible drywall office suite and ablutions can be reconfigured or removed to meet operational needs.
