CONSTRUCTION IN FULL SWING

started on the construction of a new 5 storey building for KSS at the existing KSS Minto site. The site is an original centre developed from vacant land 35 years ago. The current KSS buildings are a mixture of one and two storey buildings and have always enjoyed good customer occupancy. The new development required demolition of two existing single storey buildings to be replaced with a new 5 storey, 8,000sqm self storage building with a new lifts and new office. Combined with the remaining buildings on-site this will bring the site to almost 14,000sqm GFA. The project is due for completion in December 2023. PYMBLE NSW The KSS Pymble site in NSW continues to grow. Construction of another stage started in September 2022 with Patterson Building Group and involves building over the final top floor roof terrace area to make the existing structure a 5 storey building.

in the 1970’s and was a CSIRO laboratory until KSS purchased the property in 2013. KSS has undertaken several phases of expansion over the subsequent years and currently has 600 plus storage units. The new stage will provide another 2,200sqm of gross floor area, about 200 more units. Part of the ingenious design included building the new roof structure over the top of an existing solid brick and concrete fan room which was built to a government standard no longer used. It was tough going to demolish this but the idea generally worked. What’s next for Pymble? We do have further Council approval for a final expansion of another 11,000sqm GFA building sometime in the future, which will take the Pymble site to over 21,000sqm GFA, but that’s another 5 storeys for another day.
