Introducing MODE West

Maximise has purchased an 8.9ha land parcel in Truganina for $33million and received confirmation of permit from the Wyndham City Council to build MODE Business Park West – 180 mixed-use, light industrial units at 211 Leakes Road.

These units, ranging from 212m2 to 685m2 are suitable for an array of uses including warehouse, office, restricted retail, and food and beverage outlets. Situated on the corner of Leakes and Palmers Road, the development is well positioned to capitalise on one of Melbourne’s fastest growing regions.

MODE West is designed with indigenous inspiration from Truganini, a prominent Indigenous figure after whom the suburb was named. The development provides a platform to explore important themes in indigenous culture, art, well-being, and shelter, adding a sense of place and meaning to the project.

Environmentally sustainable design features have been incorporated in the design, including 78kW Solar PV installed across the site, striking screening against western sunlight, supplementary cementitious materials (SCM’s), and over 320 trees including Australian native Apple Myrtle, Yellow box, and Brush box.

According to the CBRE Melbourne Industrial and Logistics report (3Q22), the warehousing sector accounted for the majority of take-up in 3Q22 (70%), followed by Manufacturing (15%) and Retail Trade (13%) with the concentration of leasing activity occurring within the West precinct. The Managing Director, Claudio Romano says “This latest project aims to meet the demand for smaller scale, affordable, light-industrial spaces in Melbourne’s fast-growing West”.
