Australia’s fastest growing city

How does the demand for Adelaide’s industrial space compare with other Australian cities? In this video, Tim Tape, Development Director Renewal SA, Martin James, Head of Industrial & Logistics SA JLL, and Julie Drago, CEO Realside Ovest, discuss how Adelaide stacks up and take a deeper dive into how population growth will impact demand.

The value of industrial land absorption

Since 2020, industrial land in Adelaide has been absorbed at a rate of 60 hectares per year, and the average industrial land values in Adelaide’s Outer North have experienced 300 per cent growth – the strongest in Australia. Nick Emmett, Managing Director Emmett, and Tanya Parker, Head of Institutional and Corporate Valuations SA JLL, look at the impacts of such strong demand and dwindling supply.

Bruce Djite, Executive Director of Property Council SA, and Ben Parkinson, Managing Director and Head of Capital Markets SA JLL, share their thoughts and recommendations.
