Industrial land values increased 10.5 per cent for small lots and 13.9 per cent for medium-sized lots over the past year.<\/p>\n<p>Logistics centre changes hands<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, a logistics facility in Adelaide\u2019s outer north has sold for $12.125 million.<\/p>\n<p>The property at 75 Kaurna Avenue at Edinburgh has 6767sq m of gross lettable area on a 15,734sq m site opposite a Coles distribution centre and surrounded by major occupiers including DHL and PepsiCo.<\/p>\n<p>A private investor bought the facility in a deal negotiated by Bennett Lane\u2019s Matthew Lane and Guy Bennett and Knight Frank\u2019s Max Frohlich and Ryan Mills on behalf of vendor MA Financial Group.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Adelaide_industrial_mid.jpg\" alt=\"An aerial photo of the industrial property at 75 Kaurna Avenue in Edinburgh.\"\/>\u25b2 The logistics facility at 75 Kaurna Avenue at Edinburgh sold for $12.125 million.<\/p>\n<p>Frohlich said the campaign had generated 105 enquiries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe result reflects continued confidence in Adelaide\u2019s industrial sector and the growing appeal of Edinburgh Park as a major logistics and industrial destination,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInvestors continue to be attracted to Adelaide\u2019s low vacancy environment, strong rental growth trajectory and relative value compared with the eastern seaboard markets.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/events.theurbandeveloper.com\/ula\/\" href=\"https:\/\/events.theurbandeveloper.com\/ula\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/1787626871_450_ULA__1_.jpg\" alt=\"ULA 26 urban leader awards editorial pointer https:\/\/events.theurbandeveloper.com\/ula\/\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Twenty-four transactions totalling $404 million in the first half of 2026.
