City-Fringe Warehouse Entry Opportunity

A vacant commercial warehouse site for sale offers an affordable chance for investors and owner-occupiers to secure a position in a coveted Tauranga city-fringe location.

With two adjoining light-industrial buildings configured as a single tenancy, the property sits on one of the city’s most strategic arterial routes, Fifteenth Avenue.

Expansive 24-metre street frontage delivers exceptional profile and branding opportunities. Convenience and operational efficiency are heightened by drive-through access to a rear service lane plus on-site parking in front of the building.

The approximately 929 square metres of buildings are underpinned by nearly 900 square metres of commercial-zoned freehold land.

Formerly home to an automotive, commercial and marine panel and paint supplier, the property at 27 Fifteenth Avenue is now being offered to new owners with vacant possession.

It will go under the hammer at an auction on Wednesday 24 June, unless it is sold earlier. The sale is being marketed by Brendon and Lynn Bradley of Bayleys Tauranga.

Brendon Bradley said the functional buildings were suitable for a broad spectrum of business operations.

“The front of the property features fully glazed showroom space plus mezzanine offices while the rear offers dual clear-span warehouse accommodation along with mezzanine staff amenities.

“Vehicle access off both Fifteenth Avenue and Burrows Street via a rear service lane supports efficient logistics and business access,” he said.

The buildings have an Initial Evaluation Procedure seismic rating of 67 percent of new building standard.

Lynn Bradley said vacant possession presented an immediate opportunity for new owners to move their business onto the site or install a new tenant.

“Investors and owner-occupiers will recognise the potential to re-purpose, refurbish or reposition the existing buildings to add value, while developers can capitalise on the favourable commercial zoning allowing for future multi-level redevelopment.

“In summary, this is a prime commercial opportunity combining profile, position, and potential – three fundamentals that underpin long-term value in a sought-after locality,” she said.

Brendon Bradley said accessibility and profile were maximised by a prime position on a strategic city transport corridor.

“Fifteenth Avenue links directly to State Highway 29. It enables seamless travel to the established residential catchments of Maungatapu, Welcome Bay and Ohauiti, and serves as a vital cross-city link through to Bethlehem. This connectivity drives strong daily traffic flows and ongoing demand from wide array of commercial occupiers,” he said.

The immediate area is a busy commercial hub anchored by the Fifteenth Business Corner which is home to healthcare and professional offices together with a further mix of workshop and warehouse buildings housing retail and trade operations. Other properties are largely residential, complemented by visitor accommodation – making for a dynamic blend of activities on the fringe of the city.
