Prime Urban Group has finished Stage One of its $55m Prime Business Park in East Bendigo. The completed section provides more than 10,000 sqm of flexible workspace, with tenants already using 12 office suites and 23 warehouse units.

Prime Business Park occupancy details

Up to 40% of spaces at the 5.51-acre site have been leased. The precinct is described as nearing full occupancy and is expected to support 250-300 workers once all stages are active. This outcome follows the delivery of the first stage by Prime Urban Group.

Additional commercial proposals under consideration

Separate plans for a $12m retail hub at the Midland Highway and Howard Street intersection in Epsom remain before the Greater Bendigo City Council. No decision has been reached on that application. A four-storey office building with a penthouse has also been proposed for 52 Queen Street in the Bendigo CBD. The dormant Hargreaves Mall hotel site at 306 Hargreaves Street has been placed on the market, carrying existing council approval for a 110-room Mantra-operated hotel and associated facilities.

Investment flows and local indicators

These projects together illustrate capital allocation across different commercial formats in Bendigo. The completed Prime Business Park section supplies immediate leasable floor space, while the Epsom retail proposal, the Queen Street office scheme and the Hargreaves Street hotel site represent further opportunities under review or on the market. Each development references specific locations and cost figures drawn from project announcements and council records.

Council consideration of the Epsom retail hub continues without a set timeframe for a decision. The Queen Street proposal adds to existing higher-density commercial activity in the city centre. The Hargreaves Street site offers an approved hotel project to any purchaser. Observers can monitor council meeting agendas and property listings for updates on these matters.
