BUSINESS FEATURE
Port Douglas’ commercial sector is getting an exciting boost with the launch of a new 10-unit industrial complex in Craiglie, offering local businesses a rare opportunity to secure premium workspace in a tightly held market.
Ray White Port Douglas Principal Mark Flinn said the brand-new development at 42-44 Owen Street addresses a long-standing shortage of commercial space across the Douglas Shire.
“Affordable commercial and light-industrial space across Craiglie and the greater Port Douglas region is running with low vacancy rates,” Mr Flinn said.
“For years, local trades and growing small businesses have had to fight over scarce,aging rental stock or make do with residential garages.”
Situated on a 2,023m² site, the development introduces high-clearance, industrial-grade units where land supply remains severely constrained.
Priced from $240,000 + GST, the project offers an accessible entry point for buyers looking to step off the rental wheel.
“These units offer an accessible entry point to exit the volatile local leasing market and build commercial equity, or secure dedicated storage to move a caravan or boat out of a residential driveway,” Mr Flinn explained.
Purpose built
Engineered specifically for workplace efficiency and tropical conditions, every unit features five-metre wall heights and insulated roofs and walls for climate control.
Each bay is also equipped with three-phase power, generous 4.2-metre-high commercial roller doors, and wide concrete turning aprons.
The complex is split across two main buildings.
Building A comprises Units 1 through 7, offering 70m² single-bay layouts complete with private rear outdoor yards ranging from 14.8m² to 102m².
Building B houses Units 8 through 10,featuring larger 81m² deep-bay layouts paired with private yards up to 63m², specifically designed to accommodate heavy equipment, commercial vehicles, or reef boats.
Mr Flinn noted that the inclusion of private outdoor spaces sets the complex apart from standard industrial builds.
“Unlike typical strata warehouses, each bay comes with its own private outdoor yard area, giving businesses rare open-air staging and secure exterior storage,” he said.
According to Mr Flinn, the versatile setup caters to a broad range of local trade, storage, and investment needs.
“They serve as ideal bases of operation for electricians, plumbers, builders, air conditioning specialists, and landscapers,” Mr Flinn said.
“They also offer clean dispatch hubs for retailers, tour operators, and hospitality suppliers,high-clearance storage for offshore game rigs and RVs, or strong Self-Managed Super Fund (SMSF) investments backed by high local tenant demand.”
With site work already progressing, buyers have a timely window to secure off-the-plan positions ahead of completion.
“The presale campaign is underway off-the-plan, construction has started, and we expect these next sheds to be available in early 2027,” Mr Flinn said.
