The Aliro project is one of many developments in the Sutherland Shire which also includes the Woolooware Bay Town Centre by developers Aoyuan International and Capital Bluestone. That includes new commercial suites, to cater for more people who are opting to work closer to home.

Aliro's chief executive Daniel Wise, said Aliro had been fielding strong interest from a range of leading global and national brands keen to secure a position on the 12.4 hectare site.

These have come from a range of uses including logistics, education, corporate office, recreational, food and beverage and multiple film production studios.

"The estate will create a strong employment hub within the Shire," Mr Wise said.

"Importantly, the creation of this significant employment hub will provide an opportunity for businesses to attract and retain a mix of different local skills."

Mr Wise said that given the scale and strategic location of the site, it represented a generational and industry-creating opportunity to secure significant international investment for Sydney and NSW.

"Together with the appropriate government support and investment, we anticipate creating thousands of direct and indirect jobs upon completion. This comes at a critical time for NSW and the community, particularly in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic," Mr Wise said.

"We are currently scoping possibilities for the future of the site, however, local jobs are a key focus. The great thing about this iconic site is that the possibilities are endless."

Mr Wise said the scale of the site, including the potential for adaptive reuse of the existing buildings, provided the opportunity to deliver more jobs and amenity for the Shire community.

Mr Wise said Aliro would work closely with the the council, government, local business and the community to deliver an "outstanding" result for the site and the Shire.

"To ensure the site achieves its maximum potential we will be looking for government to support critical and important transport infrastructure investment to and around the site to ensure safe and effective access and traffic flow for occupants, business and the surrounding community," he said.
