Bare land minutes from airport is ready to take off
A substantial industrial development site in a sought-after Auckland airport location is for sale as a blank canvas for developers or owner-occupiers.
Colliers International has been appointed to market 546 Oruarangi Rd for sale by way of deadline for offers closing at 4pm on March 18, unless sold earlier.
Industrial director Paul Jarvie says the property comprises 5ha of predominantly bare freehold land in a proven industrial precinct, just minutes from the Auckland International Airport.
“The offering is one the few remaining sites of scale in the area, making this a great opportunity for a developer or owner-occupier to unlock the potential of a superbly located site that benefits from significant amenity.
“Light industry zoning makes the site ideal for a range of uses including manufacturing, production, logistics, storage, transport and distribution.
“Owner-occupiers will be able to take vacant possession of a substantial site that is suitable for land or yard-based use.
“Meanwhile, developers will be attracted to strong demand from tenants and purchasers for quality modern facilities in the proven Auckland airport industrial precinct.”
The property’s minimal improvements include a greenhouse that is currently on a short-term lease. It is available with vacant possession upon expiry on April 22.
A new owner could potentially negotiate a new short-term greenhouse lease to provide holding income until the site is ready to develop.
The property is situated five minutes from Auckland airport, offering excellent access to domestic and international markets.
Industrial director Brad Johnston says it also has good connectivity to the wider Auckland region via State Highway 20A, which links up with SH1 and SH16.
“Oruarangi Rd is only a short distance from SH20A via Ihumatao Rd to the south, and Kirkbride and Ascot roads to the north. Recent upgrades to the motorway network around the airport have made the area even more accessible.
“In time, the Oruarangi Rd area will also benefit from a direct connection into Auckland Airport’s world-class industrial precinct, The Landing.”
Industrial director Andrew Hooper says the property is situated within a new industrial estate in the established Auckland airport area.
“The immediate vicinity comprises many substantial industrial buildings. Nearby neighbours include Sistema, Foodstuffs’ new head office and distribution centre, Hellmann Worldwide Logistics,
Bunnings, DHL and many other logistics and transport operators.”
The site is generally of regular shape and level contour. Some services are already in place, including a sewerage system.
The property is zoned light industry, which allows for industrial activities that do not generate objectionable odour, dust or noise.
