Mirvac expanding South Eveleigh tech hub

Property group Mirvac has signed 20,000 m² in new leases for its growing South Eveleigh tech campus in New South Wales.

The South Eveleigh technology precinct is expected to be home to around 18,000 workers by the end of 2022. Alongside anchor tenant the Commonwealth Bank of Australia, companies with a presence at the campus include tech incubator Cicada Innovations, Quantium, the CSRIO and Data61.

Head of Mirvac’s Integrated Investment Portfolio Campbell Hanan said the precinct forms the west end anchor of the NSW Government’s Tech Central technology precinct.

“The original Eveleigh Railway Workshops were the home of the country’s national rail network, and were right at the heart of Sydney’s thriving economy in the late 19th century, so it’s incredibly fitting that the site will once again be home to a vibrant workforce of Australia’s leading companies and technological minds,” he said.

“We’ve seen significant interest in the unique campus-style working environment that we are delivering at the site, in particular the distinct offering of the Locomotive Workshops bringing together unique heritage buildings with a contemporary workplace offering.”

Mirvac, Cicada, CBA and Centuria have also recently established a Technology and Innovation Fund with the goal of creating investment initiatives to support the growing tech precinct. The fund has already provided support for the Spark Festival innovation festival in South Eveleigh in October.
