The group’s chief executive Phil Pearce said the site will hold another 21,000 sq m of office and warehouse space, with flexibility to accommodate buildings from 2000 sq m to 18,000 sq m in size.

“The purpose-built facility will allow us to bring our manufacturing facilities and support office all under one roof, while at the same time significantly increase our capacity,” BWX chief operating officer Rory Gration said.

ESR Group claims to be the Asia-Pacific’s largest logistics real estate group by gross floor area and by value of directly owned assets and the funds and investment vehicles it manages.
