14 | REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT Blackcomb Property: Wyatt Construction T T Ruissell Fredric Storage units with premium features Four of the units have already sold, reflecting strong demand for high-quality storage in Wanaka. “The goal is to have the units as close to Wanaka as possible. Another key selling point is the convenience of a self-service petrol station located on the way in.” The bespoke development of upmarket freehold storage units in Wanaka will provide convenience for property owners needing additional storage space for vehicles and gear. Located in Enterprise Drive in Wanaka, within the town’s premier industrial area, the storage units offer permanent, aesthetically pleasing, secure lock-up for a boat, motorhome, vehicles, or any other belongings. Four of the units have already sold, reflecting strong demand for high-quality storage in Wanaka. The development is being undertaken by Christchurch-based family company Yeoman Group. The group is owned and controlled by the Yeoman family of Christchurch, who have considerable experience in commercial property development and investment through another company they own, in addition to having a personal connection to Wanaka as long-standing bach owners, co-director Henri Yeoman says. “The development was born out of our family’s own need for this type of storage in Wanaka. There have been no such options available in the Wanaka market, but when this piece of land became available it was the perfect size for creating a small, high-quality storage facility.” The concept behind the development is to cater to people who own holiday homes in Wanaka, but may not have enough space on their property to store large boats, equipment and outdoor gear. The units are constructed of pre-cast concrete and structural steel for the main structure, and include concrete mezzanines and have a spacious yard for manoeuvring vehicles with a trailer. Each unit has its own freehold unit title. Construction is being carried out by Wyatt Construction, with the units ranging in size from 95sqm to 119sqm, including the concrete mezzanine. Designed with luxury in mind, the units include 24-hour security, kitchenette facilities and a bathroom with a toilet, shower, and vanity. Additionally, the 4.5m-wide roller doors are five metres high, providing ample space for large vehicles or boats. Each unit also has its own power and fibre connections, with provisions for future water connections if required. The ground-floor footprint is 12 x 6.3 metres and the stud height five metres at the low end for ample space to accommodate bulky items and maximise vertical storage space, while providing good width for parking two large trailers or vehicles side by side. “We’ve aimed to create something that stands out from typical industrial units,” Henri says. “These spaces are thoughtfully designed with added premium features to make them more appealing. The yard is a durable concrete hardstand, and we’ve included high-quality wash-down facilities. “Overall, we’ve enhanced the standard design to make the units more functional and comfortable. The polished concrete main floor, stair and mezzanine, combined with powder-coated steel balustrades, emphasise the high-quality finish of these storage units.” The design of the four-metre mezzanine at the rear, with ample space both above, allows for versatile storage options, including room for a workshop, while still providing enough space to park two large trailers or boats side by side inside the unit. For peace of mind, the site is fully fenced and gated and has a fully monitored centralised security system with cameras, and each storage unit will be individually alarmed. Another advantage is their prime location in Enterprise Drive, conveniently situated in Wanaka’s premium industrial area. This strategic spot offers easy access to key arterial roads, including Ballantyne Road and Riverbank Rd, which connect to State Highway 6 heading north and east, as well as Cardrona Valley Rd to the south, while providing convenient access into central Wanaka with a five- minute drive. “The goal is to have the units as close to Wanaka as possible. Another key selling point is the convenience of a self-service petrol station located on the way into town. If you’re bringing your boat to or from the unit, you can easily stop at the station on Ballantyne Rd to refuel.” The development is expected to be completed February 2025. 23 Gordon Road, Wanaka | Phone: (03) 443 1260 Email: wanaka.reception@aoteaelectric.co.nz For anything electrical, from Appliance repairs to Commercial builds.
