Walkinshaw breaks ground on new HQ

12 July, 2024

A landmark agreement between Walkinshaw Automotive Group and Salta will see the Australian automotive giant’s new state-of-the-art headquarters take shape on a substantial ~100,000sqm site within the Nexus Dandenong South precinct.

Scheduled for completion in Q4 2025, this development consolidates three of Walkinshaw’s existing sites, featuring purpose-built warehousing, office spaces, hardstand areas and 700 on-grade carpark spots.

The groundbreaking ceremony took place on Thursday 11 July, with the Greater Dandenong Lord Mayor, Cr Lana Formoso, executives from Salta and Walkinshaw, construction partner FDC and consultants from TMX, Watson Young and the project’s funding syndicate in attendance.

Salta Managing Director, Sam Tarascio is optimistic that this pre-lease agreement demonstrates a strong vote of confidence in the southeast’s industrial market.

“It is yet another example of Salta’s proven track record of collaborating with our clients to create custom-made solutions in strategic locations.”

Walkinshaw Group Director, Ryan Walkinshaw shares a similar sentiment.

“With the growth in our automotive business, we needed a modern facility to not only accommodate our growth but one that would be tailored to the various sectors of our business. The expansive new site will cater to our manufacturing and office needs, and having these together in a purpose-built space will increase our efficiency and effectiveness.”

Fully owned, managed and operated by Salta, the 180-hectare Nexus Dandenong South Industrial Estate is one of the most in-demand industrial precincts in Melbourne due to its proximity to the CBD, connectivity to the Port of Melbourne and major commercial, retail and residential areas – with a long-term vision to service the growing warehousing and logistics demand in Melbourne’s southeast.

Walkinshaw will be the newest addition to the precinct’s thriving community, joining an impressive lineup of brands including Bunnings, Martin Brower and leading logistics businesses such as Mondiale VGL and Silk Contract Logistics.
