Realterm, Partners Group Complete 23,000 Sqm Container-Rated Hardstand in Chipping Norton, Sydney
Global investment manager Realterm Global and its joint venture partner, Partners Group Real Estate, announced in April 2026 the practical completion of a 23,000 sqm container-rated hardstand at 77 Governor Macquarie Drive in Chipping Norton, South West Sydney. The firm described the development as directly addressing the critical shortage of high-quality industrial outdoor storage in the Sydney logistics market.
The purpose-built facility, constructed by Prime Projects, is rated for 125-tonne containers and supports approximately 1,700 TEUs of storage capacity. The design allows fully laden containers to be stacked up to five high, maximizing operational efficiency for heavy-duty freight operations.
Strategic Location
The property sits on a B-Double approved route and provides access to Port Botany, the M5 and M7 motorways, the Hume Highway, Moorebank Rail Intermodal, and Enfield Rail Intermodal. The site offers 24/7 access.
"Reaching practical completion at 77 Governor Macquarie Drive in Chipping Norton is a strong validation of our strategy to deliver highly functional, container-rated hardstand in supply-constrained logistics markets," said Toni Ryan, Fund Manager at Realterm.
The firm described the asset's specification — including its 125-tonne container rating and five-high stacking capacity — as positioning it among the top tier of available hardstand supply in the Sydney industrial market, and noted that high-specification container-rated hardstand of this scale is rarely available.
Leasing
More than 70% of the site has been leased as of practical completion. The most recent lease was signed with Harper Jack Haulage, a transport operator that took over half of the newly available container-rated hardstand space. Harper Jack Haulage intends to use the site to support Full Container Load cartage, container storage, fumigation, future consignment, and quarantine services.
"The early leasing success reflects the depth of occupier demand for well-located, high-specification industrial outdoor storage facilities that support modern freight and intermodal operations. Assets like this play a critical role in improving efficiency across the logistics network, and we continue to see compelling opportunities in the market," said Kathleen Legg-Bagg, Asset Manager at Realterm.
Up to 10,600 sqm of hardstand remains available for lease.
