“With a net lettable area of 11,453.8sq m plus a 1000sq m large yard, the property also offers plenty of future developmen­t potential.”

Hooper says it is extremely rare for Light Industry zoned properties of this size to come on to the open market in such a popular area.

“The property i s under- rented and, given the underlying value of the land, there is plenty of scope for capital gains in the future.

“We’re anticipati­ng significan­t interest from investors, so we’re encouragin­g interested parties to act fast.”

Warby says the complex occupies a prominent location and has a large street frontage. “Birmingham Rd is just minutes from the Highbrook Business Park and the State Highway 1 interchang­es to both the north and south,” he says. “The location is easily accessible from Botany and other eastern suburbs, as well as the Auckland CBD and wider region via the motorway.”

Warby says the building is dominated by 7517.9sq m of versatile warehouse space.

“It also has 2406.8sq m of fully airconditi­oned offices, 222.9sq m of amenities, and a 151sq m common area.”

The largest of the property’s three tenants i s Malcove Distributo­rs Limited, which occupies 7509.6sq m. Six years remain on Malcove’s lease, which is earning $ 627,251.89 per annum plus GST.

Warby says the company has specialise­d in promotiona­l logistics for more than 25 years.

New Hope Church, a Korean community church group, occupies the smallest tenancy, with a net lettable area of 1348.8sq m.

The church is on a monthly lease earning $ 102,648 per annum plus GST. An area of 622.8sq m, which is underwritt­en for three years, generates $ 78,236 per annum plus GST.

Prentice says the East Tamaki area is an establishe­d industrial location that is home to many prominent businesses.

“The introducti­on of Highbrook Drive motorway off- ramp and Goodman’s Highbrook Business Park have really transforme­d East Tamaki in recent years,” he says.

“Not only is the area more accessible, it has also increased in desirabili­ty through quality new buildings and improved amenities.”
