20 | Delivering for longterm needs ESR focuses on occupiers where logistics performance is business critical — that includes companies in logistics, fast-moving consumer goods and temperature‑controlled warehousing, sectors where space, layout and efficiency directly affect operating costs and service levels. T T from page 18 ESR & Apollo Projects REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT This includes the nearby Dalgety Drive Logistics Estate and Druces Road Industry Park. Combined, ESR will deliver close to 105,000sqm of new logistics space in Wiri over the coming years. Across its New Zealand portfolio, Tony says that ESR focuses on occupiers where logis‑ tics performance is business critical — that includes companies in logistics, fast-moving consumer goods and temperature‑controlled warehousing, sectors where space, layout and efficiency directly affect operating costs and service levels. “Our customers are critical service busi‑ nesses that can’t afford friction in their supply chains,” he says. “The right facility ensures that they can move faster, reduce inefficiencies and operate with confidence for their business needs today and tomorrow.” He says that feedback from customers across New Zealand points to the following priorities: adaptable, high-quality space that can evolve as operations change; efficiency, including height, layout and vehicle access; certainty, particularly when entering longer lease commitments and a long-term, trusted partner rather than a purely transactional relationship. “For many occupiers, warehouse decisions are ten- or fifteen-year calls, where today’s de‑ cision requires confidence that the asset will still work for them in the future,” says Tony. “Practical functionality is our focus in warehousing and property design rather than trends or headline features.” According to Tony, sustainability is playing a growing rather than critical role in how larger businesses think about property, particularly those with reporting obligations across their supply chains. “Performance still comes first but the role of sustainability is growing,” he says. “That said, location and functionality remain the top considerations for businesses and sus‑ tainability works best as a feature when the basics are clearly delivered and demonstrated. ESR is committed to delivering environmental‑ ly responsible assets, targeting five-star Green Star ratings as part of its broader sustainabili‑ ty ambition.” ESR entered the New Zealand market in 2018 through its acquisition of the LOGOS business and has been building its footprint progressively since that time. The business’s focus since entering the market has been on growing and scaling by acquiring strategic sites, delivering modern facilities and working closely with occupiers whose operations de‑ pend on logistics performance. “We’re still building awareness in New Zea‑ land,” said Tony. “But our priority has always been capability and delivery where we do what we say we’ll do and build trust through action and our work in Wiri is a good example of this.” admin@ventureplumbing.co.nz | 022 307 5639 | 0800 32 10 32 | www.ventureplumbing.co.nz PLUMBING GASFITTING DRAINLAYING Venture Plumbing Ltd, PO Box 181, Clevedon, Auckland 2248 ENTURE PLUMBING Our team is reliable, experienced, professional & friendly.
