Bouygues Construction awarded contract for new urban data centre in Australia. 12-03-2026 Through its Australian subsidiary, AW Edwards, Bouygues Construction has secured a contract[1] to build the Goodman SYD 01 data centre in Artarmon, on Sydney's North Shore. [1] This contract was recorded in the order book in the fourth quarter of 2025. This contract marks the first collaboration between AW Edwards and Goodman. This project is set to support the growing demand for data storage, cloud applications and AI-related infrastructure in the Sydney area. A vertical data centre in a dense urban environment The Goodman SYD 01 will be located in the immediate vicinity of the city centre and will feature a distinctive vertical design. With a total floor area of 60,320 m^2, the building will be seven storeys high, including five floors dedicated to date halls and other technical facilities. There will also be administrative and service areas. The design, by architectural firm HDR, will feature a prefabricated ribbed panel facade, a glass curtain wall and aluminium cladding. Building a vertical data centre on a restricted urban site requires exceptionally rigorous planning in terms of logistics and operations, ensuring that deadlines are met and that the work is carried out safely. Strict risk management is also essential for maintaining service continuity and ensuring site security. Innovation and safety As part of a commitment to operational innovation and enhanced safety, the teams will adopt Auto Loto, a digital energy management system designed to control and secure shutdown and restart procedures for technical equipment. The tool helps improve traceability of work activities and reduces the risks associated with restoring power in a highly technical environment. Philippe Jouy, Deputy CEO of Bouygues Construction with responsibility for Bouygues Bâtiment International, said: "This data centre showcases Bouygues Bâtiment International's expertise in building large-scale infrastructure to support the digital transformation and the needs of users in Australia." Early site works began in December 2025, with the first phase scheduled to be ready for service in Q2, 2028. Up to 450 people will be working on the site during peak periods. Bouygues Construction has expertise in developing infrastructure essential to the digital economy. Bouygues Construction support the development, design, construction and fit-out of secure and resilient data centres around the world, including in France, the United Kingdom, in Australia (AirTrunk SYD1, Kemps Creek), and the Philippines (Vitro Santa Rosa).

Mercardo Livre leases Goodman's Avenida dos Estados distribution centre. Mercardo Livre leases Goodmans Avenida dos Estados distribution center 10/03/2026 Goodman (ASX: GMG), a global group that provides essential infrastructure, announces it has leased the remaining 90% of its Avenida dos Estados distribution centre in Santo André, to Mercado Livre. Its strategic location, close to major avenues and highways, reduces operational distances and enables more predictable delivery times. The newly inaugurated development now integrates the e-commerce company's urban logistics network, reinforcing its strategy of proximity to the end consumer and expanding service capacity in the Greater São Paulo region. Designed for high-performance operations, Goodman Avenida dos Estados features infrastructure focused on last-mile logistics, with access for light and heavy vehicles, cross-docking areas, elevated loading docks, a large manoeuvring area, and 24-hour security and monitoring systems. "Fully leased, shortly after inauguration, demonstrates the demand for high-quality urban distribution centres and confirms the strategic importance of the ABC Paulista region within the national logistics network," highlights Danny Peeters, CEO at Goodman Brazil. Goodman Avenida dos Estados was developed to accommodate operations with intense merchandise flow, with a layout designed to handle seasonal e-commerce peaks such as Black Friday, Christmas, and other retail-driven dates. The warehouse also includes energy-efficiency solutions, natural lighting, and infrastructure prepared for automated technologies, meeting operational and environmental requirements in the logistics sector now and in the future. The project achieved LEED Platinum certification, the highest level of the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) system, endorsed by the US Green Building Council, a non-government organisation that developed the certification. The recognition reinforces Goodman's commitment to the constant pursuit of high-quality solutions while prioritising sustainability and efficiency. "The arrival of the e-commerce operation in the site represents an important step forward in urban logistics transformation. Proximity to the end consumer is now a decisive factor for the competitiveness of major players, and this development was conceived precisely to support this growing demand," notes Danny Peeters. Goodman's Avenida dos Estados distribution centre will help reduce the time between order and delivery, enabling shorter routes and a higher frequency of daily dispatches, allowing shipments to reach their destinations quickly, improving the consumer experience, especially for same-day or next-day deliveries. With the space fully occupied, the operation is expected to generate direct and indirect jobs and boost the local economy. The presence of a large-scale logistics structure tends to stimulate surrounding services, such as transportation, maintenance, food services, and technology.
