City-fringe office, warehouse

A two-level, city-fringe office and warehouse in Auckland is being marketed by Barfoot & Thompson commercial with vacant possession.

“This type of property is quickly disappearing from the fringe suburbs around the CBD, so it will be of real interest to owner-occupiers,” said agent Murray Tomlinson, who is marketing 4 Ophir St for sale by deadline private treaty closing at 4pm on Wednesday, March 4.

“The frontage lies south-east on Ophir St,” says Tomlinson. “All other boundaries are built to by neighbouring properties that are all of similar style and use.

“The immediate location retains a service industry and commercial feel, however as properties are gradually turning over, higher value commercial uses and residential developments are becoming more the norm.

“The Ponsonby Rd/ Great North

Rd intersection is 250m away, while the central K Rd shopping area is a sixminute walk. This is where the new Mercury CRL station is to be located.”

The property is zoned BusinessCity Centre, which permits a range of activities. “This zone plays a pivotal role in Auckland’s present and future success,” said Tomlinson.

The property is held in one freehold land title of 615sq m and has a total building area of 602sq m. The ground floor encompasses about 363sq m of warehouse, 54sq m of office and amenity, while the first floor is 184sq m of office and amenity. The yard is flat with six on-site car parks and easy delivery access.

Tomlinson says the property is typical of city fringe business needs. “Clear space, flat drive-in, medium stud warehouse, associated ground level amenity and reception, then a first floor office and amenity.”
