Buying commercial property in Eastern Creek?

We fund the full range of Eastern Creek commercial property: modern large-format facilities, design and construct on serviced land, leased facilities held as investment, and refinances with fit-out or automation funded alongside. Purchases here run from $5 million to $30 million, which puts many of them above the level a single bank will write on its own.

We can help you:

  • Buy the distribution facility your business operates from
  • Borrow up to 80% of the property value on standard industrial security. Up to 100% of the purchase price is achievable where you add equity from a property you already own.
  • Acquire an Eastern Creek logistics property as an investment
  • Refinance or release equity from a facility you already own
  • Fund a design-and-construct facility on serviced land
  • Arrange finance for an SMSF commercial purchase
  • Fund racking, automation and materials handling
  • Free up your working capital
  • Arrange finance through a trust or company structure

Who we help:

  • Established business owners who require finance between $50K to $30M
  • First-time borrowers who need a beginner-friendly strategy
  • Sophisticated borrowers and investors who need a unique strategy and deal structure
  • Urgent, time-sensitive deals that need to move quickly
  • Self-employed and trust-structured borrowers who need their income presented properly

Commercial property loans in Eastern Creek

From national distribution centres to local service commercial, we fund it

We work with the occupiers and investors buying in Eastern Creek: national and regional distributors, third-party logistics operators, manufacturers taking modern floor space, and private investors and syndicates holding leased facilities. At this size the work is matching the deal to the right lender tier and presenting a credit submission that reads the way an institutional credit team expects, then running it through to settlement.

Funding from $50K to $30M
from over 60 bank & non-bank lenders

  • ANZ
  • Bankwest
  • Bluestone
  • Bank of Queensland
  • Commonwealth Bank
  • Firstmac
  • ING
  • Macquarie
  • NAB
  • Pepper Money
  • Suncorp Bank
  • Thinktank

The Eastern Creek commercial property we fund

At $5 million and above the lender list changes, and so does what a credit team wants to see. The Eastern Creek purchases we can finance include:

  • Owner-occupier commercial property purchase
  • Investment commercial property and landlord finance
  • SMSF commercial property under a limited recourse borrowing arrangement
  • Commercial construction and development finance
  • Commercial property refinance and equity release

Eastern Creek is planned by the State rather than by council, and its titles still carry the old IN1 code rather than the newer E4. Both facts are administrative, and both can stall an application at a lender whose policy list is written against council zones. Checking takes minutes.

We stay with you well beyond settlement, with lasting relationships and ongoing support from the team.

Property types

How each Eastern Creek purchase is assessed

At this scale the building, the lease and the loan size each pull the file in a different direction. Below is how each Eastern Creek purchase actually reads to a lender, and the suburbs we cover around it.

Modern large-format facilities

The core stock here is purpose-built distribution: high clearance, multiple docks, deep awnings, sprinklered and built for automation. These buildings are assessed as infrastructure, and the specification does most of the pricing.

What lenders like about modern stock is that it suits many occupiers rather than one. A building with a standard footprint, generous clearance and good truck circulation re-lets readily, and that is the assumption underpinning the whole credit assessment.

  • Assessed on floor area, clearance height, dock count, awning depth and heavy vehicle circulation
  • Full doc lending against standard industrial security reaches up to 80% of value
  • Sprinkler classification and fire engineering affect what the building can store and who can occupy it
  • A standard, broadly usable specification supports the re-letting assumption behind the loan
  • Terms run 25 to 30 years with non-bank lenders, against the 10 to 15 the major banks commonly publish
  • Provide the floor plan, the survey, the specification and details of the loading arrangement

Design and construct on serviced land

Plenty of occupiers here build rather than buy, taking a serviced parcel and putting up a facility to their own specification. That is construction lending: drawn in stages against certified works, interest-only through the build, then converting to a term loan on completion.

It is sized against the end value rather than the land, which is why it works. The strength of the file comes from the building contract and the builder, so a fixed-price contract with a licensed builder of appropriate capacity does more for the approval than almost anything else.

  • Construction funding is drawn progressively against certified works and priced off the end value
  • A fixed-price contract with a builder of appropriate capacity materially strengthens the file
  • Vacant industrial land bought on its own gears to around 65% until a building carries it
  • Servicing through the build is assessed on the business, not on a tenant that does not exist yet
  • A pre-commitment from an incoming tenant transforms the credit assessment
  • Provide the survey, plans and specifications, the building contract and the builder's details

Leased facilities held as investment

A facility bought to hold is underwritten on its income stream rather than on your trading: rent passing, covenant, lease expiry. At this end of the market the covenant is often a national operator, and that changes the conversation considerably.

A long lease to a strong covenant buys loan term and approvability rather than a higher LVR. What actually binds is interest cover, and with Outer West yields between 4.75% and 5.75% that test is worth modelling before you commit rather than after.

  • Priced on net passing rent, the tenant covenant and the weighted average lease expiry
  • A strong covenant and a long lease buy loan term and approvability rather than extra LVR
  • Interest cover, not just the rent, is what the credit team actually tests
  • Lease doc lending runs 65% to 75% and steps down as the loan size rises
  • A rent-free period or fit-out contribution still running is read into the net figure
  • Provide the lease, the rent schedule, outgoings and the tenant's financial standing where available

Deals above the bank thresholds

Between $5 million and $30 million the lender list is not a longer version of the suburban one, it is a different list. Lease doc bands step down as the loan grows, the major banks require a fuller credit submission, and the non-bank and specialist lenders active at the top of that range write a handful of deals a year each.

What that means practically is that the submission matters more than the shopping around. A file assembled the way an institutional credit team reads one, with the lease, the valuation basis and the servicing set out properly, goes further than approaching six lenders with a summary.

  • Lease doc bands step down as the loan grows, so the product changes with the number
  • Above a few million the major banks want a fuller credit submission and a longer lead time
  • Non-bank and specialist lenders active at the top of this range are a small, specific group
  • Syndicated and multi-investor ownership structures need to be settled before lodging
  • Prepare full financials for every entity, the lease, and a clear sources and uses statement
  • A single well-prepared submission generally goes further than several summaries

Refinance, automation and fit-out

Distribution operators are investing heavily in automation, and that capital is best kept off the property loan. Racking, conveyors, sortation and materials handling on their own facility match each repayment to the life of the asset.

Where equity has built up in the facility, a refinance releases it for that investment or for a second site, and resets a term that may have been set when the operation was a different size.

  • Automation, racking and materials handling are best funded on their own facilities
  • Release equity from the facility to fund equipment, a second site or working capital
  • Move from a bank term of 10 to 15 years to a non-bank term of 25 to 30 to reset the repayment
  • Fit-out that becomes part of the building may be valued with it; loose plant is not
  • Prepare recent financials, current loan statements, the lease and a rates notice
  • Break costs on a fixed facility are worth checking before anything is lodged

SMSF commercial property in Eastern Creek

Yes, a fund can buy Eastern Creek logistics property, and we arrange these. It is also one of the more intricate purchases in commercial finance, and the detail is what decides whether it works. The fund borrows under a limited recourse borrowing arrangement, the property sits in a separate holding trust, and the lender can only come after that one property.

We know this sounds complicated, and we can assist to make things clearer. We structure the finance, tell you which lenders will take a Eastern Creek logistics property as SMSF security and on what terms, and bring in the SMSF specialists and licensed advisers who set the fund side up. You will not be working it out on your own.

  • From 10 August 2026 a new arrangement can only be used for business real property: a facility used wholly in a business generally qualifies, a facility with a residence attached generally does not
  • Your operating company leases the property back from the fund, in writing, at market rent supported by an independent appraisal, and the rent has to actually be paid
  • Cross-collateralisation is not available inside super, so the fund needs its own deposit and the 100% LVR structures described elsewhere on this page do not work here
  • Standard commercial security inside a fund is generally available to 65% to 80% of the lender's valuation, with cash left in the fund after settlement
  • The arrangement funds a single asset, so fit-out, plant and goodwill are financed separately outside the fund
  • The bare trust has to exist before contracts are signed, and in NSW the deed is executed after the contract, by the bare trust trustee rather than the fund trustee

Frequently asked questions

How much does local knowledge actually change the outcome?

It helps to work with a broker who knows the area well. This land is planned by the State rather than by council, deals run large, and the lender who is right at $3 million is rarely the one to approach at $20 million. Ardent Capital Group sits on Clarence Street in the city, handles Sydney commercial property day to day, and arranges finance in Eastern Creek and Australia-wide.

You are in the city. Can you handle a purchase out here?

Yes. We work across the M4 and M7 corridor, including Erskine Park, Minchinbury, Arndell Park, Huntingwood and Prospect. Most of the process runs by phone, email and video, and we come to site when it helps.

How much finance can you help me access?

Between $50K and $30M. Modern large-format estates push deal sizes up, but smaller units in the older pockets nearby are financed on the same terms.

Do you only do industrial, or retail and medical as well?

We fund the full range here: modern large-format distribution facilities, warehouses, design-and-construct projects on serviced land, and leased investment stock. Lender appetite differs across all of them, and at these sizes it differs by loan amount as much as by asset.

I want to build rather than buy. How does that work?

As construction lending. The facility is drawn in stages against certified works, sits interest-only through the build and converts to a term loan on completion, and it is sized against the end value rather than the land. A fixed-price contract with a builder of appropriate capacity is what a lender needs to see, and a pre-commitment from an incoming tenant transforms it.

Can our SMSF buy the building we trade from?

Yes, it is possible, and we arrange these. It is also one of the more intricate purchases in commercial finance, and the detail is what decides whether it works. The fund borrows under a limited recourse borrowing arrangement, so the property sits in a separate holding trust and the lender can only come after that one property. From 10 August 2026 a new arrangement can only be used for business real property: a facility used wholly in a business generally qualifies, a facility with a residence attached generally does not. Your operating company leases the property back from the fund, in writing, at market rent supported by an independent appraisal, and the rent has to actually be paid. Cross-collateralisation is not available inside super, so the fund needs its own deposit and the 100% LVR structures described elsewhere on this page do not work here. Standard commercial security inside a fund is generally available to 65% to 80% of the lender's valuation, with cash left in the fund after settlement. We know this sounds complicated, and we can assist to make things clearer. Reach out to our team and we will guide you through the entire process. We structure the finance, tell you which lenders will take a Eastern Creek logistics property as SMSF security and on what terms, and bring in the SMSF specialists and licensed advisers who set the fund side up. You will not be working it out on your own. Get that right and it is a solid, compliant structure. Our business real property page sets out what that test requires and the situations that decide it.

How fast can commercial finance be arranged?

A straightforward purchase with clean financials usually settles in four to six weeks, and can be as quick as two weeks where the documentation is ready at the start. Larger investment facilities, construction and SMSF deals take longer, and above a few million the major banks work to their own credit timetable. We give you a realistic timeline before you commit to an exchange date.

Can an application that has been knocked back be revived?

Often, yes. A decline from one lender does not mean the deal is not fundable, and at this scale it frequently means the file went to a lender who does not write that number, or whose policy list did not recognise the zone code. Non-bank and specialist commercial lenders take a different view. We will give you a straight assessment before proceeding.

What do we get from you that we would not get elsewhere?

Ardent Capital Group brings the same method to every client: execution and strategy, clear advice for smart lending, and long-term growth. That means the right lender, structure and timing, straight advice so you borrow with confidence, and today's deal built toward where you want to be tomorrow. We are specialists in helping business owners secure finance to purchase their own property, and we understand the complex structures that often sit around it, including multiple trusts, holding companies and self-managed super funds. In Eastern Creek that method earns its keep on the submission. At this size a single file assembled the way an institutional credit team reads one goes further than approaching six lenders with a summary, and we know which lenders are genuinely writing at your number. We have facilitated more than 1,000 commercial and residential mortgages and funded over $2B. Every figure is subject to serviceability, lender appetite and approval.

What paperwork should we get ready?

A typical application needs identification, the contract or property details, full financials for every entity involved, tax returns, bank statements and your trust or company documents. Leased property adds the lease, the rent schedule and the tenant's standing. Construction adds plans, specifications and the building contract.

How much can I borrow for an Eastern Creek logistics property?

Standard industrial security reaches up to 80% of value. Vacant land gears to around 65% until a building carries it. Above a few million the lease doc bands step down and the lender list narrows. Send us the address and the loan amount and we will give you a real figure.

Why does my title say IN1 when nearby properties say E4?

Because this land sits under a State Environmental Planning Policy rather than the council LEP, and the SEPP retained the older industrial zone codes instead of transitioning to the employment zones. It is an administrative difference rather than a substantive one, but a lender policy list written against council zones can stall a file on the wording. We check the instrument before lodging, which takes minutes.

Where do commercial rates sit at the moment?

A commercial rate is set per file rather than off a shelf price. It moves with the facility and the size of the loan, the LVR, the loan size, the entity you borrow through, and whether the lender is verifying your full financials or just the lease. We will tell you the range your deal genuinely sits in before you spend anything, and where the levers are.

What is the stamp duty on commercial property in NSW?

Transfer duty is charged on the dutiable value of the property on the general NSW scale, and there is no owner-occupier or first-buyer concession the way there is on a home. Surcharge purchaser duty applies to residential-related property, so a purely commercial purchase is generally outside it. Duty and GST are funds you bring to settlement rather than part of the loan, so we set your funds-to-complete figure with you before you exchange. Revenue NSW publishes the current scale.

How are values worked out in a market like this one?

The methodology is the same nationally, and modern stock is the easier half of the market to value because the specification is comparable. Knight Frank had Outer West vacancy at 2.8% in Q1 2026, tighter than the South West, with land at $1,383 per square metre for lots under 5,000 square metres. A valuer reads a re-letting assumption against that.

Do you charge fees for commercial mortgage broking?

Most of the time, no. Where a deal needs significant preparation or is unusually complex, a small mandate fee may apply, and we will always tell you plainly before any work begins.

What areas do you service?

Although we are based in Sydney, we service clients across all major Australian cities, including Melbourne, Perth, Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Adelaide, Canberra and Hobart, along with their surrounding regional areas. Wherever your commercial property is located, we can arrange your finance.

What other finance can you assist with?

Although our main speciality is property loans for business owners, we also assist with asset finance and working capital for Eastern Creek businesses. On asset finance, that covers automation and sortation, racking and materials handling, forklifts, prime movers and trailers. On working capital, we arrange business overdrafts, lines of credit and cash-flow funding to cover stock, supplier payments and cash-flow gaps. We also arrange home loans, planned alongside your commercial borrowing: cross collateralisation, guarantees, shortfalls and trust income included. See home loans for business owners.

I have been a business owner for a few years, but this will be my first commercial loan. Are you beginner friendly?

Yes. That is our core ethos, helping you understand the right strategy, structure and clear advice from the very first conversation. Our main borrower profiles are established business owners and commercial property investors seeking finance from $50,000 upwards for their company, so a first commercial loan is well within our wheelhouse. Smaller sole-trader and consumer-style ABN lending sits outside our field.

Can you give financial advice?

No. Arranging finance and advising on financial products are two different disciplines, and we do the first. What we bring is the credit analysis lenders require, the structuring of the facility, and the strategy for putting your application in front of lenders whose appetite matches it.

Because we act as a credit representative under an Australian Credit Licence, we do not give financial product, superannuation, taxation or legal advice, and nothing we provide should be taken as such. Where your circumstances need that input, we are happy to work with your accountant, financial adviser and solicitor to understand the full picture before anything is submitted.
