Construcciones Yamaro: Construction begins on new facility at Yennora Distribution Centre
Stockland has commenced construction on a logistics facility of nearly 40,000 square metres at the Yennora Distribution Centre, one of six intermodal terminals operating in New South Wales.
DP World, which has operated the terminal since August 2023, will expand its footprint into the new building, known as Building 2. The company currently runs rail services to and from Port Botany and leases several warehouses within the estate.
Stockland head of logistics development Craig Lenarduzzi said the new facility has been designed to meet the needs of advanced logistics operations now and into the future.
“Until its recent demolition, the site was occupied by an outdated low-clearance warehouse originally constructed in the 1970s,” said Lenarduzzi. “Our vision for the new building will see a modern facility that targets a 5 Star Green Star rating and meets the future freight and warehousing needs of our customers and consumers.”
He said the Yennora Distribution Centre is among the largest in the southern hemisphere and benefits from access to the Southern Sydney Freight Line, the city’s major arterial road network and Port Botany.
“This is the first step towards a long-term opportunity to modernise a large-scale, well-located industrial estate which supports local jobs and the NSW economy,” he added.

DP World Oceania APAC executive vice president Nicolaj Noes said the investment is an important step in modernising one of the state’s key intermodal hubs.
“Expanding this facility helps deepen the integration between our rail, warehousing and landside logistics operations – strengthening end-to-end connectivity between Yennora and Port Botany,” said Noes.
“This enhanced capability will give our customers greater reliability, smarter freight pathways and a more seamless movement of goods across their supply chains.”
Julia Finn, state member for Granville, welcomed the start of construction.
“The Yennora Distribution Centre has always been a jobs powerhouse for our local community, and this new facility strengthens that legacy,” said Finn. “This is the kind of long-term investment that keeps Western Sydney strong.”
Stockland has appointed builder Texco to deliver Building 2. In line with Stockland’s circularity commitments, approximately 60,000 bricks from the demolished warehouse will be reused in the new facility and Texco will identify opportunities to select low-carbon materials throughout construction.
Building 2 is scheduled for completion in late 2026.
