Berkowitz Furniture secures lease at strategic Dandenong South site

Berkowitz Furniture has signed a long-term lease for an 8,028sqm industrial facility in Dandenong South.

CBRE’s David Aiello and Fraser Pearce negotiated the off-market deal for the property, located at 359 Frankston Dandenong Road.

The property, owned by Pellicano, was leased six months ahead of vacancy, reflecting strong demand in the South East’s core industrial precinct.

The transaction will allow Berkowitz Furniture to consolidate multiple businesses into a single location, having recently purchased the Fenton & Fenton business. The warehouse and office facility provides drive-around access, high visibility and operational efficiencies aligned with the company’s growth plans.

David Aiello, Senior Director at CBRE noted the deal reflects ongoing strength in Melbourne’s southeastern industrial market, particularly in high-demand areas such as Dandenong South where access and flexibility remain key considerations for tenants.

“Securing the lease well in advance will ensure a smooth transition for Berkowitz and eliminates any short-term vacancy for Pellicano. Berkowitz were also able to negotiate with the outgoing occupier Dexion to retain their existing fit-out,” he said.

“The off-market nature of this deal demonstrates the importance of strong relationships and real-time market insight,” added CBRE Senior Manager, Fraser Pearce.

Pellicano’s Leasing Manager, James McConville, said, “We’re pleased to welcome Berkowitz Furniture to the estate. Their decision to consolidate here highlights the quality of the facility and its strategic location.”
