Hale Plans ‘Office Facade’ on Punchbowl Warehouse

Office on the outside, industrial on the inside—plans for a state significant development have been filed by Hale Capital for Sydney’s west.

SBA Architects were behind the warehouse design for the project slated for a 3.45ha block at 45-57 Moxon Road, Punchbowl.

The two-level, two warehouse design would have 12 tenancies across the 25,565sq m warehouse floor with 3744sq m of office space alongside prayer rooms and bathrooms.

The project has a capital investment value of $82 million.

The plans now on exhibition show parking for 178 cars, 20 motorbikes and 20 bicycles.

“The office façade elements work as a soft transition between the streetscape and the warehouse blocks,” the design report said.

“The warehouse does not hide away but is treated with a pattern that is choreographed with horizontal strips of glazing. 

“This fenestration provides natural light to the ground warehouse spaces as well as breaks up the large walls.”

▲ The property was sold in mid-2022 for around $70 million.

The Punchbowl project follows Hale developing a multi-level warehouse at Matraville near Port Botany for owner LaSalle Investment Management.

Vaughan Constructions is the builder for the industrial asset with 20,000sq m of ground floor area at 42-52 Raymond Avenue that has been leased KFC Roofing through Colliers.
