Property

The Property division was originally established to maximise the value of land that is surplus to the Building Products business in Australia. Over time, the Property division has evolved and now consists of two Joint Venture Property Trusts with Goodman Group, plus 100% owned land holdings, both operational and for potential development.

Brickworks holds a 50% interest in the Industrial JV Trust, with the remaining 50% interest held by Goodman Group.

This Industrial JV Trust has grown to become one of Australia’s leading industrial property portfolios and is exposed to long-term structural tailwinds associated with the transition to e-commerce and the digital economy. Through the long-standing (~20 years) relationship with Goodman Group, the Industrial JV Trust has developed a portfolio of prime A-grade facilities with blue-chip tenants such as Amazon, Woolworths, Coles, DHL, Telstra and Australia Post. As at 31 January 2025, the Industrial JV Trust had total assets of $5.0 billion.
