Industrial

Our role in the increasingly challenging and expanding sector

Ethos Urban is committed to making cities and regions not just liveable but also workable. This commitment is about more than place-making – it’s also about connecting places, people, and products. For the past 30 years, we have been at the forefront of planning for Industrial and logistics projects. These projects are technically challenging, requiring specific governance protocols and specialist navigation through complex statutory approval pathways.

Our specialist knowledge and experience include central warehousing and logistics precincts across Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. We understand that projects in this sector are often unique; therefore, we take the time to tailor our solution according to the needs of the project, often integrating them seamlessly with an overarching specialist project management skill set. As part of our solution, we collaborate with specialist firms as part of project teams - this collaborative partnership provides enhanced project outcomes. We also work with developers, landowners, investors, State and local government agencies, and infrastructure providers to add value at every stage of the planning and development process.
