Charter Hall pre-commits Jennmar for major redevelopment at Smeaton Grange Logistics Hub

Charter Hall Group (Charter Hall or the Group) is pleased to announce it has secured a 15-year pre-lease with global manufacturing business, Jennmar Australia, for a 31,000sqm facility at Smeaton Grange Logistics Hub in Sydney’s Southwest, marking a significant milestone in the precinct’s transformation.

The 16.71ha site at 80 Hartley Road, Smeaton Grange, comprising a single warehouse originally constructed in 1998 and previously leased to Coles, is currently being demolished to make way for a new state-of-the-art logistics estate.

The redevelopment will include three new warehouse and office facilities with a combined 78,000sqm GLA, and the pre-commitment to Jennmar Australia accounting for almost 45% of the total site area. Jennmar will consolidate its existing operations from 15 smaller warehouses across the wider Smeaton Grange area into a single purpose-built facility, with room for future growth via 6,000sqm of potential expansion space.

Strategically located within the rapidly growing Smeaton Grange industrial precinct, the estate provides easy access to major transport routes, including the M5 and M7 motorways, providing seamless connectivity to Sydney's key commercial areas, and the new Western Sydney International Airport planned to open in 2026.

The redevelopment is targeting a 4 Star Green Star rating and will incorporate the latest technology and sustainability features including PV solar systems, EV charging stations, rainwater harvesting and reuse, smart building metering and drought tolerant landscaping.

Charter Hall Industrial & Logistics CEO, Richard Stacker, said, “The Smeaton Grange redevelopment aligns with our strategy to revitalise brownfield sites into sustainable, future-focused industrial precincts that enable businesses to scale efficiently. Jennmar’s long-term commitment highlights the continued demand for high-quality logistics facilities in growth corridors like Smeaton Grange, particularly given the limited new supply in this submarket over the past decade.

“By delivering to the needs of the market, Charter Hall continues to attract high-quality tenant customers like Jennmar. We look forward to welcoming them to this next generation precinct in late 2026.

"Remaining opportunities at the estate include flexible warehouse tenancies from 6,000sqm to 38,000sqm, and generous hardstand solutions ranging from 2ha to 6.5ha.”

Jennmar Managing Director, Gareth King, said, “This strategic operational decision enables Jennmar to consolidate over ten smaller sites locally, into a new purpose-built modern facility creating operational efficiencies for our manufacturing and distribution businesses and maintaining our presence in the local Smeaton Grange area.”
