The site is in a sought after industrial precinct due to its proximity to Docklands and the Melbourne CBD, which is just three kilometres away. It also enjoys outstanding access via the Westgate Freeway and CityLink.

Billed by the agents, Jones Lang LaSalle, as the "Last major land offering in the heart of Port Melbourne", the substantial site was placed on the market in January 2004.

It will develop a high quality industrial estate to be known as Toyota Business Park.

The centrepiece of the 12 hectare site is the adjoining \$50 million Toyota Corporate Headquarters, which was opened in July 2004 by the Prime Minister. The Corporate Headquarters comprises 12,000 sqm over three levels and accommodates 340 employees.

Robert Gooch, Divisional General Manager, Business Support Services Division of Toyota said, "Our objective was to dispose of the property to an end developer that would deliver an estate solution that would complement the quality of our new Corporate Headquarters."
