IKEA has bought a 37,000-square-metre site, at Sydney Business Park, for about $29.5 million, at Marsden Park. IKEA is the second bulky goods retailer to secure space at Sydney Business Park; Bunnings acquired a 33,440-square-metre site last December. “Sydney Business Park is gearing up to be one of Sydney’s largest bulky goods retailers,” said the park’s development director, Owen Walsh IKEA, which opened the biggest in the southern hemisphere, at Tempe, on November 3, is investigating sites in Sydney's south west.
