CLIENT:
Oakdale Industrial Estate is an emerging precinct ideally located within western Sydney’s logistics hub of Eastern Creek. Set over 440 hectares, the estate offers a huge number of development opportunities suitable for the construction of brand new warehouse, distribution and logistics facilities.
The Design Review will consider the standard office component of the Industrial Estate at Precincts 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D, 2A and 2B. This review is Client-led and needs to consider the following issues:
Value Proposition #01: ‘Oasis’
CLIENT:
Conveniently located just off Old Wallgrove Road, the estate enjoys outstanding connectivity to Sydney’s motorway network with easy access to the nearby M7 and M4 Motorways. The site will also directly benefit from a number of regional road upgrades currently underway. With 89 hectares of land available for the development of brand new, purpose-built facilities from 3,000-90,000 sqm, now is the time to join global companies such as DHL, DSV, Toyota and Petbarn and be part of this next generation estate. http://www.oakdaleopportunities.com/ − − − − − − −

Design Objectives
− Refresh of Design Strategy to ensure design is innovative, fresh and attractive to prospective Tenants; − Is Value for Money (meets existing cost control parameters); − Meets existing Planning constraints; − Considers Utility of Occupants in terms of what might attract a new tenant to the site; − Provides for Market Robustness in terms of being attractive to future tenants; − Maximises Rental Returns against Cost of Production through effective design value propositions; − Considers design efficiency and maximises performance value of design spend; − Improves Staff Retention Opportunities for Long Term and future Tenants of the Site; − Provides a timeless and attractive design; − Considers environmental factors (sun, wind, rain); − Minimises Maintenance and maximises longevity of materials; − Integrates landscape features to enhance occupant amenity and brand definition; − Provides a design that is identifiable as a brand within the Industrial Tenancy Market; − Enhances a precinct-based approach as much as possible within other more significant lettability parameters; and − Meets Goodman’s best practice expectations for design and operations. Timeline The review will be completed within 2 weeks from date of commencement being Friday 03rd February 2017.
CLIENT:
It is noted that industrial Parks occasionally have relatively diminished amenity for Workers, and this may have some impact to retention of staff for various Tenant Businesses. Staff Retention is seen as a key factor of business success for Tenant Businesses. As it is possible that providing zones that are comfortable for staff to use in an informal setting, are of value to Tenant Business and assist in Tenant longevity. ‘Oasis’ is the provision of these zones of enhanced Amenity for Occupants, including consideration of options for: − Gardens & Shade − External BBQs − Some sports activities (eg. Ping pong or boule) − Pop up retail opportunities − Partially screened external enclosures Value Proposition #02: ‘Identity’ It is noted that prospective Tenants at industrial Sites may be influenced by the opportunity to enlist to a Development that is of noteable character within the rIndustrial projects Market. This character could be understood as a Project Brand, that can at once be described by the architecture through the use of iconic or momorable architectural elements, materials or forms. Developing such a project ‘Brand’ can add value to the Rental Proposition, as Tenants may perceive the project as more desirable and noteworthy due to its more obvious presence within the Market.
Design Reviews will be completed at Goodman’s Offices on following days:
It is noted that ‘Identity’ can be achieved through good design, rather than any commensurate increase in project expenditure.
− Friday 10th February: Initial Concepts and Value Propositions (Including Interiors) − Friday 17th February 2016: Updated Drawings (1x Example Office)
Value Proposition #03: ‘Inter-connection’
Design Review recommendations, if accepted, may then become incorporated to an amended Section 92 Application for the site.
Adopting a collegiate approach to the interlinking of various Tenancies at the site, through such design elements as pathways, gateways, or shared facilities, improves the opportunity for interaction amongst workers at the site and improves the range of socialising opportunities. This may improve Worker Retention and also Tenant Retention. Such connections also make it easier for smaller ancillary tenancies at the site (eg. Cafes), or shared facilities (eg. Outdoor gyms) to be accessed and utilised by Occupants and Visitors.
