72 | St Lucia Properties: Hynds Drive Warehouse development T T Kelly Deeks Standout warehouse ready for lease The new 9366sqm high-stud warehouse in Rolleston features an internal breezeway through the middle of the building and a 1512sqm covered canopy at one end. DEVELOPMENT A new large scale warehouse development by St Lucia Properties on the corner of Pereita Drive and Hynds Drive in Rolleston is offering a high-level of quality and design for one or two new logistics-based tenants in close proximity to Lyttelton Port Company’s Midland Port, and Port of Tauranga’s inland freight hub all the associated infrastructure and additional freight benefits. St Lucia Properties is a private landlord and long term property investor that has been active in commercial and industrial property development and investment around Christchurch and Selwyn for many years. As a landlord which retains ownership of its developments, St Lucia Properties builds to a high standard of quality with flexibility and the future in mind, including electric vehicle charging stations as standard and solar ready roofs. “We are holding our properties long-term so whenever we’re doing a design and a site layout, we are thinking about long-term requirements and flexibility,” says St Lucia Properties commercial property manager Guy Gillman. With this new 9366sqm, high-stud warehouse and office building, St Lucia Properties wanted a building that could be flexible, and also stand out from the crowd. The building has been designed in a way that it can be easily split up with internal walls to cater for two separate tenants. It features an internal breezeway through the middle of the building and a 1512sqm covered canopy at one end. Another key feature is the 6m wide right of way which goes from Hoskyns Road to Hynds Drive, providing ample space for trucks to queue. The site is capable of handling and storing multiple container movements at any given time. While the building has been designed to a high specification, the 12m stud warehouse provides excellent efficiency and cost savings for storage based tenants and is likely to be the most cost-effective choice in the market for lease, backed up with low operating costs. On the balance of the site is a further 3.3ha of land which gives St Lucia Properties the option of either providing additional yard options for tenants, or expanding the new warehouse should its tenant find themselves with a growth requirement, or even build a new building. “With our expansion land, we’ve got options to increase the size of the warehouse to “With our expansion land, we’ve got options to increase the size of the warehouse to 36,500sqm, and that would be a significantly sized warehouse for Rolleston.” 36,500sqm, and that would be a significantly sized warehouse for Rolleston.” St Lucia Properties has taken pride in the overall appearance of the property, including the landscaping by Grow Landscape and Lifestyle which is really helping the building to stand out in the crowd. “We’ve put a lot of thought into the landscaping and we’ve engaged the experts for that,” Guy says. “We thought it was important to have landscaping that doesn’t necessarily block out the site from the road. We still want some visibility so any tenant has good profile to traffic moving past. We’ve managed to achieve a nice, tidy, and inviting landscaping feel without restricting the view too much.” Guy says this development is a good one for St Lucia Properties’ portfolio, being well-positioned to suit a lot of different types of operation. Available now for lease, St Lucia Properties has completed this development on spec and is looking for a tenant to partner with. Future development plans for St Lucia Properties include the design and build of more high quality industrial assets in other parts of Canterbury for its portfolio. St Lucia Properties welcomes contact from any tenants looking to partner to lease design-build industrial property to suit their requirements. “We manage our properties ourselves and as such, we are in a unique position to keep operating costs highly competitive, among other benefits.” POSTPONED F R LEAS Rolleston 21 Pereita Drive Sam Stone | 021 330 479 sam.stone@bayleys.co.nz Campbell Taylor | 027 433 4703 campbell.taylor@bayleys.co.nz WHALAN AND PARTNERS LTD, BAYLEYS, LICENSED UNDER THE REA ACT 2008 Brand new 9,366sqm warehouse facility • Construction complete, ready for occupation • Warehouse of 7,616sqm with ability to expand warehousing or lease part of the building • Oce of 238sqm with ability to extend • Additional large yard areas available • Private access from Hoskyns Road to Hynds Drive Immediate option of warehouse up to 7,616sqm plus canopy of 1,512sqm with ability to extend up to 36,500sqm of warehousing.
