This Suburb is Shifting Canberra’s Industrial Market

With rapid development, modern warehouse facilities, and excellent transport access, Hume has quickly positioned itself as one of Canberra’s most desirable locations for industrial businesses, investors, and developers.

Hume has recorded some of Canberra’s strongest industrial expansion, driven by new developments, modern warehouse stock, and increasing demand from businesses relocating from other ACT hubs. Its growing mix of logistics, construction, and trade-based operators highlights its evolution into a major centre for the area. Hume is the only industrial estate to have major land releases in the last 10 years, so has a higher proportion of new, high-quality buildings.

Located within a key growth corridor between Canberra, Tuggeranong, and Queanbeyan, Hume offers outstanding transport connectivity to the Monaro Highway. This makes it highly appealing for operators needing efficient movement, scale, and functional industrial space, supported by continued development activity.

Hume offers strong appeal for both owner‑occupiers and investors, thanks to a diverse mix of modern warehouses, strata units, and larger free‑standing facilities. The suburb’s depth of options makes it easy for businesses to secure a space that suits operational needs while also giving investors access to assets with broad tenant appeal, with industrial yields sitting around 6-7%. Rents within Hume has increased strongly in the last 5 years, now around $250 per sqm plus GST p.a. and rising.

Hume’s growth, modern facilities and strong demand have made it one of Canberra’s most reliable industrial markets. With solid yields and a wide range of quality assets, it continues to deliver for both owners and tenants.
