Requirement
Link Property Services began assisting Royal Foods with property advice in 2012 as they began their plans for expansion in Sydney. This advice culminated in the search and later successful negotiation of a lease of 5149sqm of near new office, warehouse including cold store and freezer in 2016. Link Property Services went on to further assist Royal Foods manage 3pl leasing within its Sydney facility as well as assist them exit their now obsolete facility in Rockdale.
As Royal Foods began their subsequent expansion, a review of their business in Perth identified a need for new accommodation.

Through a period of several years, MLV worked closely with the owner of Royal Foods providing sage real estate advice to assist them familiarise themselves with the Perth Industrial market.
Outcome
MLV were charged with the brief to locate a suitable freezer/coolroom etc facility in the Southern and Eastern Corridors, ranging in size from 2,000 to 4,000 sqm. Key requirements included freezer space, coupled with dry storage and cool room space. In February 2023, 11 years after the initial contact between Link Property Services and Royal Foods, MLV successfully identified and subsequently negotiated a lease to Royal Foods in Bassendean. Perth is notorious for having a distinct lack of quality cold-storage facilities so we are excited we procured a premises that suited the needs of Royal Foods.

Proof that ICP partners are invested in real relationships and play the long game in the interests of its customers and clients rather than seeking a quick fix.
