The Goodman Group is developing its first mass timber warehouse at Moorabbin Airport in south-east Melbourne. Engineered from wood materials, mass timber is modular and allows for faster construction and fewer trucks delivering materials, creating less disruption to the surrounding communities.

Constructed predominantly from timber with flexibility and urban design in mind, the warehouse will see a 23% reduction in long-term carbon emissions compared with a similar steel development.
The architecturally designed facility is targeting a 5 Star Green Star Buildings rating and will offer strategic exposure, located on Boundary Road with approximately 44,000 cars passing per day.
The new facility will feature:
- Four units from 3,500-4,300 sqm, with the ability to combine units to create larger space
- 25 metre shared hardstand
- Eight metre canopy
- Three on-grade roller doors per unit
- LED lighting
- 99kW solar per unit
- Targeting 5 Star Green Star Buildings rating
- Eight electric vehicle charging points
- 118 car parking spaces
The Mass Timber Units are located at Moorabbin, a thriving business precinct and community hub 21km south east of Melbourne.
The site boasts convenient access to Melbourne’s arterial road network, extensive landscaping and a range of on-site amenities including DFO, Costco and a variety of retailers and food outlets at Kingston Central Plaza.
