Industrial, logistics, and commercial property development group, Frasers Property Industrial has secured two 10-year leasing deals totalling 38,209 sqm with tile, stone and timber flooring retailer, National Tiles across Australia’s eastern seaboard. In Yatala, Queensland, National Tiles’ 17,500 sqm facility at its Premium Estate, Vantage Yatala, will comprise a warehouse and distribution centre, a customer trade centre and a design centre with a commercial tile library.

Vantage Yatala will also be home to National Tiles’ Queensland support office, which will include a two-storey office space spanning approximately 1,000 sqm. Andrew Hanna, General Manager – Victoria for Frasers Property Industrial says they’re happy to be working with the tile retailer. “National Tiles is a longstanding customer across our existing facilities in both Victoria and Queensland and this latest deal is testament to the strong relationship we have forged with them.

“Melbourne’s west is one of the city’s burgeoning growth corridors and Canvas West is primely located to provide enterprises in the region with a base to access a captive audience and linkages to distribute to the broader region. We look forward to working closely with National Tiles on their new facility, and long into the future,” Hanna says. All National Tiles’ workers will benefit from a 500 sqm rooftop terrace for socialising, meal breaks and staff events.

Employees will also have access to Vantage Yatala’s extensive Premium Estate amenities, which includes a 2.3-hectare open space reserve, 5.5 kilometres of running track, two outdoor gyms, as well as outdoor barbecue and shelter areas. Troy Whalan, General Manager – Queensland, for Frasers Property Industrial, says they’re looking forward to further strengthening the relationship. “We are proud that National Tiles has chosen our Premium Estate Vantage Yatala for their Queensland support office.

As a longstanding customer since 2017 at Southwest 1 in Berrinba, the latest deal with National Tiles bears testament to the quality and full service offering that customers see in our estates. “We look forward to deepening our partnership with National Tiles by providing them with a bespoke facility, complemented by Vantage Yatala’s extensive amenities and abundant green spaces, to foster a thriving environment for both their business and employees,” Whalan says. In Victoria, National Tiles has committed to a 20,710 sqm facility at Canvas West in Tarneit.

It will comprise a 1,300 sqm customer pick up and trade centre, and a 425-sqm double-storey office. The facility will reach a ridge height of 14.6 metres and will feature four recessed loading docks and eight on-grade roller shutter doors. Frasers says both facilities are designed to target 5 Star Green Star Design and As-Built v1.3 ratings from the Green Building Council of Australia and will feature roof top solar arrays and rainwater harvesting and reuse systems, which will provide combined annual energy and water savings of approximately 178,000 kilowatt-hours and 350 kilolitres respectively.

Mark Chapman, Chief Operating Officer, Supply Chain and IT, for National Tiles, says the project will help them to transform their business. “As one of Australia’s largest tiling and flooring product suppliers, we are constantly seeking ways to deliver business growth and improved efficiency. “The new facilities at Vantage Yatala and Canvas West will provide us with the space and opportunity to transform how we operate and ultimately, better serve our customers.

We are looking forward to the completion of these facilities and welcoming customers through our doors,” Chapman says. Construction of both facilities and their adjacent speculative developments have now commenced.
