The purpose-built facility on Westringia Road will feature 4,500m² of warehouse space including 4,000 pallet sites, 1,500m² of bulk space, and a cool room for perishable items.
It will also include 600m² of office space across two levels.
BAC commercial executive general manager Martin Ryan said: “Brisbane Airport’s size, accessibility and amenity continue to attract great commercial and industrial businesses and we are extremely pleased that Geodis has selected BNE as the perfect place to continue to grow its business.
“The BNE Property Team is gearing up for a busy year and we are building to match the extraordinary demand for industrial properties in South East Queensland.”
The facility will enable Geodis to increase import and export services including customs brokerage, regulatory compliance, and complete supply chain transparency.
