Construction is underway at the new $1 billion Deer Park Estate in Melbourne’s west, marking the start of a major industrial development anchored by a new distribution centre for Asahi Beverages.

Located 15 kilometres west of the CBD, the 340,000-square-metre estate was announced in February 2024 and is owned by UniSuper. Once complete, it will feature facilities with strategic links to Melbourne’s planned intermodal freight precincts, the Port of Melbourne, Melbourne Airport, other industrial and retail precincts, and households.

To mark the start of construction, Asahi Beverages general manager of manufacturing and project delivery Adrian Benson attended a sod-turning event with Nick Stephens from site owner UniSuper, Luke Wilson from developer HB+B Property, and Chris Davis from real estate investment manager The GPT Group.

Asahi’s new distribution centre is expected to take around three years to complete and will support more efficient customer service. The facility forms part of the company’s plan to simplify its Victorian warehousing and distribution network, without affecting any manufacturing operations.

“The location of the Deer Park Estate and its easy access to nearby major roads makes this a highly strategic location for our new distribution centre,” said Benson.

“More than 95 per cent of the beverages we sell in Australia are made by us in Australia, with the new distribution centre meaning more customers can receive our full range of alcohol and non-alcohol beverages faster and more efficiently, with one order, one payment and delivery on one truck.

“The more efficient distribution routes created by the project will also create sustainability benefits, including the expected reduction of Asahi’s CO2 emissions from trucks.”

The building is targeting a 5 Star Green Star Buildings rating, representing Australian excellence in better, healthier and more responsible design.

HB+B Property’s state development manager for Victoria, Luke Wilson, said Asahi’s commitment to Deer Park Estate reflects the quality and prime location of the site.

“With immediate access to key highways and transport corridors, Deer Park offers occupiers the most connected logistics address in the region,” said Wilson. “This is just the first step, with plenty of land still available and flexibility in design to accommodate future tenants’ requirements.”
