12 | Macrennie Commercial Construction: Mt Richmond Industrial REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT Mt Richmond Industrial, a flagship light industrial development by Argosy Property at the foot of Ōtāhuhu’s maunga in Auckland, is progressing with enabling works and Warehouse 6 nearing completion. Enabling works for the next two warehouses have also been finished. Located on a prominent brownfield site linking Mt Wellington Highway to Mt Richmond Drive the park will offer clear-span, high-stud warehouses ranging from 3,000sqm to 16,000sqm and studs reaching 11 to 13 metres at the knee. Dual access from two major arterials and light industry zoning further enhances its strategic appeal. Delivering the first stage is Auckland commercial builder Macrennie Construction, which began construction in January 2025 following extensive early contractor involvement (ECI). Ben Wrigley, project manager and company director at Macrennie Construction says the project is rapidly taking shape as a high-specification, sustainability-led business park designed for the future of industry. “Early contractor involvement was a big part of assisting the client in getting the development off the ground,” he says. “As a brownfield site, significant work around the enabling works was undertaken because that was the biggest cost to get the site underway.” Retaining walls were necessary to manage a five to six metre level difference between Warehouses 4 and 5. T T Karen Phelps Mt Richmond Industrial takes shape Mt Richmond is targeting a 6 Star Green Star Design and As-Built rating, aligning with Argosy’s broader commitment to environmental performance.
