Inner city industrial land is becoming increasingly scarce as more land is rezoned for residential use. That scarcity, combined with strong demand, can create attractive opportunities for both buyers and investors.

For ZAP Property Group, the focus is on infill industrial developments in established inner city locations; particularly precincts like Coburg, where we know the market, understand the demand and have delivered multiple projects.

The right site in the right location can make all the difference.

In property development, there’s always another opportunity to learn, improve and create something better.

For ZAP Property Group, the focus has never been on simply building more. It’s about creating developments with an X factor while always considering the people who will ultimately use the space.

That approach helped shape the move from residential into industrial and commercial property; and continues to influence every project today.

Time can have a huge impact on whether a development stacks up. While a residential planning permit can take around 12 months to secure, industrial projects can move significantly faster.

A shorter approval timeline can mean reduced holding costs, faster construction and a completely different feasibility outcome. When you’re analysing a development, time matters just as much as the numbers. 🙌🏼

Around 10 11 years ago, ZAP Property Group purchased a site in South Melbourne with plans for a 13 level apartment building and four-level basement.

It was also the project that marked a major turning point; from residential development into the industrial space.

With a planning permit secured and the opportunity to add value to the site, the project was eventually sold, setting ZAP on the path towards the commercial property developments they’re known for today. A lot can change from one site and one decision.

A successful development starts long before construction begins.

From planning and land surveying to architecture, feasibility, council approvals and engaging the right consultants, every stage needs to stack up before you can move forward.

Then comes construction; building surveys, construction drawings, tendering and selecting the right builder before finally reaching your occupancy permit, settlements and, hopefully, a healthy profit.

It’s a long process with plenty of moving parts, which is why getting the right team around you from the beginning is so important.

Starting out in residential development, the first project didn’t go to plan, but those early challenges became some of the biggest lessons. Learning from experienced people, building the right network, and staying committed to the industry eventually shaped the business into what it is today.

Property development isn’t an overnight success. It’s a long game built on experience, resilience and the right people around you.

With inner city industrial land becoming increasingly valuable, the key is making the most of every square metre.

For a site like this, the strategy could be to develop smaller warehouses with open mezzanines; creating practical spaces for the businesses that are actively looking for them. Think tradies, storage operators and smaller businesses that need a well located, functional space without taking on a huge warehouse.

Not every car issue means you need to replace a part or spend more than you need to.

Stained seats? Detail.
Cloudy headlights? Usually detail.
Front end collision damage? Unfortunately, even the best detailer can’t buff that one out. 😂

Knowing the difference can save you money and help you get the right treatment for your car.

Six years ago, this site was purchased for $7.5 million.

After developing 63 warehouses, the completed project was valued at around $30 million in 2021. Today, that same product could be worth approximately $50-55 million. 🙌🏼

That’s a huge shift in value, and a reminder of what can happen when you identify the right site, understand the market, and execute the right development strategy.
