Industrial Land Take-up And Years Remaining
Industrial land take-up reached 65 hectares in 2025, exceeding the 10-year annual average of 55 hectares and representing the strongest year of absorption since 2020. Activity was supported by continued pre-lease commitments, a modest increase in speculative development and resilient owner-occupier demand despite the increasingly limited availability of development-ready industrial land. Land take-up remained concentrated across Adelaide's northern industrial corridor, accounting for more than 90% of absorption. Activity was led by Direk and Edinburgh, including Centuria's 50–64 Mirage Road development (sold to an owner-occupier), DHL’s 20,000 sqm facility at Edinburgh Park, together with continued take-up across institutional land holdings. Outside the northern corridor, activity remained comparatively limited, with the West supported by the SA Government's new Forensic Centre at North Plympton. Looking ahead, annual take-up is expected to become increasingly dictated by the pace of infrastructure delivery, government land release and the conversion of zoned employment land into development-ready industrial estates. With specialised occupier requirements expected to grow given the broader shift to automation and defense related enquiry, this will place additional pressure on existing land supply.
