The estate is strategically located in the heart of Melbourne’s northern suburb of Epping, with excellent transport linkages to the Melbourne CBD (18km), Tullamarine Airport (12km) and Port of Melbourne (22km). The estate is also set to benefit from the construction of the North East link, which is scheduled for completion in 2027.
Construction of the three-tenancy facility at 4Ten Epping is expected to reach practical completion in Q1 2022.
