Construction Starts On New Costco Outlet At Walker Corporation's $1 Billion Citiswich Business Park In Ipswich.
16 July 2018
Walker Corporation: Construction works
have commenced at Walker Corporation’s $1 billion
Citiswich Business
Park, 25 minutes west of
Brisbane in Ipswich, for a new 13,750 square metre Costco outlet to
service Ipswich and surrounding areas.
The outlet is expected to be open by Christmas 2018 and feature car
parking for 825 vehicles and a Costco service station for traffic
visiting Citiswich and along the adjoining Ipswich Motorway, Cunningham
and Warrego Highways.
The $50 million construction project will create about 90 jobs and on
completion, Costco will employ 280 full-time and casual jobs when doors
open to its second outlet in
Queensland.
Managing Director Costco Australia, Mr Patrick Noone, said “We believe
Citiswich is an excellent location as it draws on a large catchment
areas from Brisbane to the Western corridor and regional areas.
“We are delighted to be part of the strong economic growth story in
South East Queensland and believe our outlet will boost economic
activity and further activate Citiswich Business Park”, he added.
The signing of Costco is a major coup for Ipswich and Walker Corporation
as the US giant was looking at a range of sites around Brisbane, where
it already has a North Lakes outlet in operation.
Queensland General Manager for Walker Corporation, Mr Peter Saba said
“We believe that Costco will draw more tenants to Citiswich as the
outlet will draw families and businesses from across South East
Queensland”.
Walker Corporation has a range of fully serviced lots for purchase or
lease at Citiswich, ranging in size from 2,000 square metres to 200,000
square metres, with B-Double access throughout and direct access to the
motorways.
