Goodman (ASX: GMG), a global group that provides essential infrastructure, announces it has leased the remaining 90% of its Avenida dos Estados distribution centre in Santo André, to Mercado Livre. Its strategic location, close to major avenues and highways, reduces operational distances and enables more predictable delivery times. The newly inaugurated development now integrates the e-commerce company’s urban logistics network, reinforcing its strategy of proximity to the end consumer and expanding service capacity in the Greater São Paulo region.

Designed for high-performance operations, Goodman Avenida dos Estados features infrastructure focused on last-mile logistics, with access for light and heavy vehicles, cross-docking areas, elevated loading docks, a large manoeuvring area, and 24-hour security and monitoring systems.

“Fully leased, shortly after inauguration, demonstrates the demand for high-quality urban distribution centres and confirms the strategic importance of the ABC Paulista region within the national logistics network,” highlights Danny Peeters, CEO at Goodman Brazil.

Goodman Avenida dos Estados was developed to accommodate operations with intense merchandise flow, with a layout designed to handle seasonal e-commerce peaks such as Black Friday, Christmas, and other retail-driven dates. The warehouse also includes energy-efficiency solutions, natural lighting, and infrastructure prepared for automated technologies, meeting operational and environmental requirements in the logistics sector now and in the future.

The project achieved LEED Platinum certification, the highest level of the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) system, endorsed by the US Green Building Council, a non-government organisation that developed the certification. The recognition reinforces Goodman’s commitment to the constant pursuit of high-quality solutions while prioritising sustainability and efficiency.

“The arrival of the e-commerce operation in the site represents an important step forward in urban logistics transformation. Proximity to the end consumer is now a decisive factor for the competitiveness of major players, and this development was conceived precisely to support this growing demand,” notes Danny Peeters.

Goodman’s Avenida dos Estados distribution centre will help reduce the time between order and delivery, enabling shorter routes and a higher frequency of daily dispatches, allowing shipments to reach their destinations quickly, improving the consumer experience, especially for same-day or next-day deliveries.

With the space fully occupied, the operation is expected to generate direct and indirect jobs and boost the local economy. The presence of a large-scale logistics structure tends to stimulate surrounding services, such as transportation, maintenance, food services, and technology.
