Essendon Fields is one of Melbourne’s largest and most successful new property developments, integrating commercial, industrial, government and aviation real estate with retail. The ambitious 305-hectare joint venture development includes more than 100,000sqm of commercial, retail and office space. Active was engaged to set up and coordinate all services and infrastructure from the outset.

An exercise in energy, telecoms and data supply, as well as logistics, infrastructure and facilities management, the scale and diversity of business within this project was unmatched in Australia. Active initially took on the coordination and management for the DFO project, and the developer was immediately able to sell to the site with significant cost savings for themselves and tenants.
