EAST COAST MAKES THE MOVE TO ROBINA M1 PRECINCT
East Coast Commercials
plan to move into M1 Precinct of CBDRobina
A vehicle sales business with outlets in Brisbane,
Cairns and the Sunshine Coast is poised to set up shop in a strategic M1 location
at CBDRobina.
The centre will include a showroom and administration
building as well as outdoor showroom and is planned by East Coast Commercials,
which specialises in new and used commercial vehicle sales.
The business is associated with Don and Gerry Gulley
who have purchased a 3,000 square metre site in the M1 Business Precinct, which
sits beside the Pacific Motorway and is accessed off Scottsdale Drive, a major
Robina thoroughfare.
The landholding has high visibility to passing traffic
and has been bought for an undisclosed sum in a deal that settled just days ago.
The business Precinct is being rolled out on a 4.2-hectare
site by Robina Land Corporation and is home to the new Robina-Reedy Creek
Police Station which is due to open its doors later this year.
It will also become home to the Australian Technical
College Gold Coast, a Federal Government trade skills institution..
The college will shortly commence construction in the
business Precinct of purpose-designed facilities, which it expects to be
operational for the 2010 academic year.
Sales agent Marcus Weld, of Robina Marketing
Australia, said that the principals of East Coast Commercials plan to begin
construction of the new vehicle sales outlet within weeks.
“They have been keen to establish a sales facility in
Gold Coast City for some time and the M1 Business Precinct meets all their
requirements,” he said.
“It provides the substantial site area required for a
vehicle sales centre in a location at the heart of Gold Coast City and close to
Robina Town Centre and the Easy T Centre, which offer substantial shopping,
dining and recreational amenities.
“M1 Business Precinct is unique in offering businesses the
opportunity to purpose-build premises in CBDRobina,” he said.
“Land lots in the Business Precinct have been made
available specifically with owner-occupiers in mind.”
The remaining lots range from 2,840 square metres to 7,000 square
metres.
East Coast Commercials was founded in 1987 and has
outlets at Rocklea and Acacia Ridge in Brisbane, at
Kawana on the Sunshine Coast, and in Cairns.
It markets new Fiat commercial vehicles as well as
secondhand vehicles.
