Located along Somerville Road, one of Melbourne’s most heavily trafficked western arterials, the property benefits from daily high-volume passing traffic, delivering exceptional exposure that effectively converts the building into a branding platform without additional advertising cost. The address positions occupiers directly within the established Sunshine West industrial precinct, surrounded by logistics, manufacturing, and trade-based businesses.
Connectivity is a defining feature of the location. The site is located approximately 450 metres* from CityLink, providing rapid access north and south, while the broader arterial network allows efficient movement to the Port of Melbourne, Melbourne Airport, and the CBD — located approximately 3 kilometres east*. This level of access is particularly valuable for freight, distribution, and time-sensitive operations.
Sunshine West continues to benefit from ongoing infrastructure investment across Melbourne’s west, reinforcing its role as a core employment and industrial hub. The combination of exposure, access, and scale ensures the location remains highly competitive for both occupiers and investors seeking assets aligned with long-term industrial demand trends.

816 sqm* of building on 2,000 sqm* of land is a useful starting point — the 40% site coverage is the more interesting number, and the Industrial 3 zoning gives the next owner the flexibility to do something meaningful with it.

“A Sunshine West industrial holding where the numbers do the talking — 40% site coverage on 2,000 sqm* of land with meaningful upside ahead.”
Thanks to more than four decades of experience, Domenic is no stranger to commercial real estate. In fact, he’s likely had a hand in several transactions you missed out on. Incredibly thorough, undoubtedly reliable. Domenic relishes the opportunity that commercial delivers, particularly in making a difference in the community he operates — but it’s his personable professionalism from beginning to end that will see him more as a partner in your portfolio. Present. Driven. Human. It’s his pursuit of creating a lasting legacy for his clients’ future generations that has already solidified his own within the industry.
This well positioned industrial holding presents a compelling opportunity to acquire a high exposure Sunshine West asset underpinned by a highly efficient land-to-building ratio and genuine future upside. Situated on a substantial 2,000 sqm* Industrial 3 zoned allotment, the property is improved by a total building area of 816 sqm*, translating to approximately 40% site coverage — a critical metric that highlights the site’s latent capacity.
The improvements comprise a functional warehouse facility supported by front and rear container height roller shutter doors, enabling efficient drivethrough operations, vehicle circulation, and logistical flexibility. The balance of the site is delivered as concrete hardstand to the side and rear, suitable for outdoor storage, display yard use, vehicle marshalling, or potential expansion, including the footprint for a second warehouse facility (STCA).
A 146 sqm* first floor office component is positioned above the operational area, offering separated administrative accommodation that is fully heated and cooled, allowing staff amenity without interference from warehouse operations. The site also benefits from ample on-site car parking, excellent access conditions, and strong functional appeal for owner occupiers, logistics users, trade operators, or investors seeking long-term optionality.
The property is offered with a monthly tenancy in place, providing immediate holding income while allowing flexibility for vacant possession. Combined with its prominent main road position, signage opportunities, and practical configuration, the improvements support both immediate occupation and future intensification strategies.

A strategically positioned Sunshine West industrial property offering outstanding exposure, connectivity, and long-term growth appeal within Melbourne’s western industrial corridor. Here are some notable aspects and benefits of buying property in this area:
High-Exposure Somerville Road Position:
Positioned along Somerville Road, the property benefits from strong daily passing traffic. This prominent arterial location provides excellent visibility to a wide range of businesses, commuters, and transport operators. The building’s exposure creates a valuable branding opportunity, helping occupiers promote their business without relying heavily on additional advertising. Its frontage supports a strong corporate presence in one of Melbourne’s established western industrial corridors.
Established Sunshine West Industrial Precinct:
The property is located within the well-recognised Sunshine West industrial precinct. This area is home to a strong mix of logistics, manufacturing, trade, and service-based businesses. Occupiers benefit from being surrounded by complementary industrial users and a proven commercial environment. The location supports both day-to-day operational efficiency and long-term business positioning.
Excellent Arterial Connectivity:
Connectivity is a key advantage, with the property located approximately 450 metres* from CityLink. This provides efficient access north and south, supporting freight, distribution, and time-sensitive operations. The broader road network also allows convenient movement to the Port of Melbourne, Melbourne Airport, and the CBD. This level of access is ideal for businesses requiring strong links across metropolitan Melbourne and beyond.
Long-Term Industrial Growth Appeal:
Sunshine West continues to benefit from infrastructure investment across Melbourne’s west. This ongoing development reinforces the area’s role as a major employment and industrial hub. The combination of exposure, accessibility, and surrounding industrial activity enhances the property’s long-term appeal. It presents a compelling opportunity for occupiers and investors seeking alignment with continued industrial demand.
Exposed. Connected. Industrially relevant.
A Sunshine West location defined by arterial frontage, freight efficiency, and sustained western corridor demand. AND THE POINT?
All signs point to: Sunshine West.
Sunshine West is an established western suburb located approximately 13 kilometres* west of Melbourne’s CBD, within the City of Brimbank. Traditionally industrial and residential in character, the suburb continues to evolve as a key contributor to Melbourne’s western growth corridor, offering a balance of workforce accessibility, transport infrastructure, and relative affordability.
With a median age of 38, Sunshine West supports a strong working-age population, underpinned by a stable residential catchment and proximity to major employment nodes across the west. The suburb is well serviced by road infrastructure, including the Western Ring Road, CityLink, and major arterial routes, strengthening its appeal as a base for industrial and commercial operations.
Residential market indicators reflect ongoing demand and population stability, with a median house price of approximately $845,000 and a median unit price of approximately $663,500, reinforcing Sunshine West’s position as a valuefocused, growth-oriented suburb. Household income levels and steady owner-occupier presence contribute to a reliable labour pool and entrenched local economy.
The convergence of industrial zoning, arterial connectivity, and an established residential base positions Sunshine West as a compelling longterm industrial location. Assets offering low site coverage, exposure, and expansion potential — such as 556 Somerville Road — are increasingly difficult to replicate, reinforcing the strategic value of this holding within Melbourne’s western industrial landscape.
