Large greenfield development site in bustling Westgate zone up for grabs
A large freehold development site zoned for Business – Light Industry at Auckland’s northwestern gateway is expected to attract intense interest from investors, developers and owner-occupiers.
The approximately 8354sq m greenfield property is one of the last remaining sites available for sale in the area, following strong demand for developable land in Auckland’s northwest over the last two years.
Occupying a prominent position within the masterplanned mixed-use area of Westgate beside SH16, the property is strategically positioned and is well served by motorway connections north, west, and south — a result of being well located on the western ring route.
Colliers has been exclusively appointed to market the vacant land at 16 Northside Drive, Westgate, for sale by deadline private treaty closing at 4pm on Tuesday, August 3, unless sold earlier.
Matt Prentice, director at Colliers, says the property consists of a substantial, levelled lot of bare land on a single title. “The irregular shaped level site comprises approximately 8354sq m of land on the northern side of Northside Drive and shares a boundary with Kennards Hire. The site has dual access from the main arterial, Northside Drive.
“Land in this location is rarely available, and a recent surge in activity on Northside Drive will give both developers and land-bankers confidence that the property is a superior offering.
“Westgate commercial and residential precincts continue to grow as Auckland Council executes its growth plan for the area, serving as the principal centre for the north west community.
Shoneet Chand, director at Colliers, says: “16 Northside Drive is approximately 20 minutes’ drive from Auckland’s CBD and lies at the northern end of the established Westgate Commercial Precinct, which includes the Northwest Mall, Mitre 10 Mega, Turners, Bunnings and AS Colour.
“Westgate is also soon to be the home of New Zealand’s first Costco with the big box retailer from the US in the process of opening a new $100m three-storey wholesale store and fuel station next to the existing shopping centre.”
