Land beside Western Sydney airport in developers’ sights
Developers are circling a prized parcel of land on the door step of the Western Sydney Aerotropolis.
The 2.26ha site at 100 Martin Road, Badgerys Creek, is being offered to buyers, just months from it being rezoned from rural to enterprise use.
The development upside is drawing interest from builders, investors, developers and construction companies looking to cash in on the airport when it opens in 2026.
No price guide has been made public, but comparable sales in the area have fetched in the range of $250 per sqm. This translates into a possible sale price close to $6 million.
The 2.26ha site is right near Western Sydney Airport, which is under construction.
Listed with Colliers International agents Thomas Mosca, Nick Estephen and James Cowan, the landholding will go under the hammer on September 10.
Estephen said 100 Martin Road will be the second property in Badgerys Creek to go to a public auction in recent memory.
“The last time a property in this suburb was sold via an onsite public auction it exceeded the last suburb record by 60%,” he said.
Described as the third CBD of Greater Sydney, Western Sydney Aerotropolis has seen companies such as Suttons Automotive, Hanson, Adelaide Brighton and Mirvac purchase land.

The area, which is set to accommodate a population of more than 1.5 million people by 2036, is experiencing immense growth, with the CSIRO also planning to build a research hub and Amazon committing to a 200,000sqm robotics fulfilment centre within the Aerotropolis.
When the site is rezoned for enterprise use, a number of different commercial and mixed employment uses will be able to be built including a warehouse complex.
“There is a lot of anticipation around the rezoning of the land in this precinct and developers are very keen to purchase land in the area,” Mr Cowan said.
Alan Walker and Andrew Lakomy of Cor Cordis are selling it in their capacity as receivers.
