A global technology company has locked in a long-term future at Rivermakers Business Park, with Motorola Solutions committing to a 10-year lease in Brisbane’s inner east, a move pointing to rising demand for well-located industrial land close to the city.
Date Context
The lease agreement was confirmed in December 2025 and relates to a newly developed industrial facility in Morningside, Brisbane.
Background And Location
Rivermakers Business Park sits on a large former industrial site in Morningside and is being reshaped into a mixed industrial and commercial precinct. The park is positioned near major road connections and sits within a short driving distance of the Brisbane CBD, the Port of Brisbane and key freight corridors. These factors have made the precinct appealing to companies seeking modern facilities without moving far from the city’s core workforce and infrastructure.
Motorola Solutions Australia selected a building at Lot 29 Dunhill Crescent within the park. The facility measures about 1,598 square metres and is being fitted out to meet the company’s operational needs. The decision places a global technology and communications business alongside other established tenants already operating in the precinct.
The Lease Deal
The agreement secures Motorola Solutions as a tenant for a full decade, a length of commitment seen as significant in the industrial property sector. Long leases reduce vacancy risk for owners and signal tenant confidence in location and market conditions. While the rental rate was not made public, the deal was described by market advisers as being in line with top-end local leasing benchmarks.
The property is owned by the Irvine Group, with the transaction handled by Cushman & Wakefield. Market specialists involved in the deal indicated that demand for high-quality industrial space in Brisbane remains firm, particularly for sites offering flexibility and modern design.
Market Context
Brisbane’s industrial market has seen continued interest from logistics, technology and service firms looking for space closer to consumers and transport links. Growth in e-commerce, population increases and infrastructure investment have added pressure to limited inner-city industrial land supply.
Rivermakers Business Park forms part of this broader shift, repurposing older industrial land into newer facilities designed for long-term use. Industry commentary linked to the deal notes that long-term commitments from large tenants help reinforce confidence in Brisbane’s industrial outlook over the next decade.
Community Impact
For the local area, the lease brings employment activity and long-term commercial stability to a site once dominated by heavy industry. The ongoing development of Rivermakers Business Park is expected to support surrounding businesses, trades and service providers, while maintaining industrial jobs close to established residential communities.
