Shanghai

Strategic location

This combination of factors makes Shanghai increasingly attractive for Goodman. Here, location is becoming vital for last mile delivery, and infill locations mean modern and multi-storey warehousing are important offerings. In Shanghai, our customers are looking for space efficiencies, secure facilities and improved construction quality, as well as the capacity to install the automation needed to service expanding demand.

Quality

Goodman’s Qingpu Centre development takes advantage of all of these factors. As our first three-storey distribution facility and first green industrial development in China, the Centre is already setting the new standard for quality of industrial parks across the country.

Premium space

The development, which has a completion value of US$112.6 million (A$149.0 million), provides more than 110,000 square metres of prime, modern industrial and business space in Western Shanghai, with convenient access to downtown, Hongqiao Airport and Shanghai’s transport interchange.

This premium, strategically located facility achieved 97% occupancy by completion and has attracted companies like JD.com, China’s leading e-commerce company, as customers.

The e-commerce giant, which has a market capitalisation of US$35.49 billion as at 30 September 2019, leased 63,130 sqm at Goodman Qingpu Centre. Halfway through the year, JD.com was Goodman China’s seventh largest customer. Today, it’s our largest, occupying 407,138 sqm of warehouse space in five key Chinese cities.

The company was attracted to the strategic location of the Qingpu Centre facility, which allows easy distribution not only to Shanghai, but Suzhou and other key cities in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, and the capacity to continue developing its logistics infrastructure by accessing our network of warehouses in key cities.
