Turnkey Property Development:
A Strategic Solution for Commercial Business Growth

Turnkey Property Development

In a fast-moving business world, finding the right property solution can feel like a juggling act—balancing speed, cost-efficiency, and operational needs. That’s where turnkey commercial property development, also known as pre-lease development, steps in as a game-changer. By delivering custom-built, move-in-ready facilities tailored to future growth, businesses can hit the ground running without the headaches of managing construction or land acquisition.

McMullin takes this approach to the next level, handling every aspect of the process—from site selection and design to approvals and construction. With a focus on seamless project delivery, McMullin ensures businesses receive premium, strategically located facilities designed to support long-term success. Notable McMullin developments like 330 Cooper Street in Epping and Wallan Junction demonstrate how turnkey and pre-lease solutions eliminate complexity, allowing businesses to focus on what they do best—growing their operations.

What is Turnkey Commercial Property Development?

Turnkey commercial property development, or pre-lease development, refers to a model where facilities are designed, constructed, and leased out before completion, allowing businesses to move into fully operational spaces immediately upon handover. McMullin manages every aspect of the process, from initial consultations to final inspections, so tenants can focus entirely on their business operations.

This solution is ideal for companies seeking customised properties without capital outlay for land or construction. Businesses lock in prime locations with favourable lease agreements, while McMullin ensures the facility is built to meet their exact specifications.

Companies That Benefit from Pre-Lease Turnkey Solutions

Pre-lease turnkey developments are well-suited for various industries, including:

Retail Businesses and Franchises

Retailers benefit from strategic site locations with high traffic volumes, ensuring optimal customer access and visibility. Franchises, like mycar at Wallan Junction, can secure a custom-built facility in a high-growth area to serve their operational needs.

Wallan Junction offered a key location for mycar, and the turnkey property development arrangement with McMullin has allowed mycar to have a building designed and built to their specifications, with their commitment to the project being their ongoing lease of the premises. This new development is currently underway and planned for an early 2025 opening.

Logistics and Warehousing Companies

Businesses focused on distribution and warehousing can secure industrial spaces in key transport corridors, such as McMullin’s Kaduna Business Park. These properties offer efficient layouts for optimised workflow, increasing productivity and minimising downtime.

Office and Professional Service Providers

Professional service firms like medical centres or offices benefit from tailored facilities that reflect their branding and workflow requirements. McMullin offers projects like 75 Bridge Street, Bendigo, a future bespoke office and medical centre development, perfect for growing practices.

Automotive Services and Large Format Retailers

Pre-leasing is ideal for automotive services needing purpose-built facilities. With Wallan Junction’s gateway location capturing southbound traffic, mycar secures excellent exposure in a rapidly growing suburb, ensuring high customer engagement.

Key Benefits of McMullin’s Turnkey Solutions

Cost Savings and Capital Efficiency

With McMullin owning the land, businesses avoid the financial burden of land acquisition. The pre-lease model allows tenants to focus their capital on operational investments rather than property development.

Tailored Facilities for Business Growth

McMullin works closely with tenants to design facilities aligned with their specific needs, ensuring future scalability. This flexibility supports business growth and operational success from the moment the doors open.

Fast-Tracked Project Timelines

By developing on pre-owned sites, McMullin can accelerate project timelines, ensuring businesses access their facilities faster.

Prime Locations for Maximum Market Reach

Pre-lease properties are strategically located in high-growth areas to maximise visibility and customer engagement. For instance, 330 Cooper Street, Epping, a large-format retail development, is located in a high traffic main road location, attracting customers to the three customisable tenancies for Sydney Tools, Anaconda, and Barbeques Galore across 4,750 sqm. Likewise, Wallan Junction is located on the Northern Highway at the entrance to town; Wallan Junction is the first retail development encountered by southbound travellers, making it a prime location for tenants including 7-Eleven, Autobarn, Pets Domain, Salvos, Pre-Mix King, and Fantastic Variety Store.

Hassle-Free Development Process

McMullin manages the entire design, construction, and approval process, freeing clients from the complexities of project management. Tenants receive regular updates to ensure every detail aligns with their operational objectives.

Long-Term Lease Options and Stability

Pre-lease agreements secure favourable rental terms, providing tenants with stability and predictability over the long term. This model allows companies to grow within a strategically designed facility without concerns about future relocations.
