24 | Boss Construction & Anchor Point Capital T T Kim Newth A place for businesses to forge ahead REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT Newly completed, high-quality industrial units in Southbrook – the southern gateway to fast-growing Rangiora – offer a perfect commercial base for small- to medium-sized businesses seeking to grow. The first tenant has already moved into Anchor Business Park on Southern Cross Road, with brisk demand anticipated for the remaining eight units still available in the first stage. These units are finished and ready to go, complete with three-phase power, LED lighting and broadband in place, and all with ample parking. Ranging in size from 106sqm to 356sqm, they offer excellent options for a variety of businesses, whether it’s for trades, specialty retail, showroom display or for a warehousing/ logistics venture. Every unit has its own modern carpeted office, plus kitchenette, shower and toilet facilities. Insulated, sound-proofed roofing and thermally broken windows ensure interior spaces are quiet and comfortable year-round. These low-maintenance units have been designed with sustainability in mind, featuring a rain-harvesting system. There is also provision for solar panels to be added once the whole development is completed. Another big drawcard for tenants is Anchor Business Park’s planned café that will provide an inviting coffee stop with sunny outdoor courtyard seating. Part of the first stage, and sited prominently at the front of the business park, this café presents an exciting opportunity for an operator wanting to be a part of this growing development. “We’re super passionate about creating a community of successful small businesses here,” says development lead Guy McKee, a seasoned property developer with a proven track record in delivering high-performance commercial spaces. “Having a quality café is key to that, so we can build those business-to-business connections and draw people in.” This innovative business park is the brainchild of Canterbury’s Anchor Point Capital. Guy and fellow director Andy Lind, an experienced civil engineer, formed Anchor Point Capital a year ago with a common focus on creating high-quality industrial units to help local businesses thrive. Their build partner, Boss Construction, has already started work on the next row of 13 units at Anchor Business Park, with another row of seven also planned and due to be completed by mid-2026. “Rangiora is an ideal location for aspirational small businesses right now, because there’s a lot of population growth and optimism here compared to the rest of the country,” Andy observes, pointing out a big new warehouse under construction across the road from Anchor Business Park. “There are a lot of bigger businesses setting up here, but smaller feeder companies will be needed, too. Guy and I both own businesses and have a genuine interest in creating something supportive and interesting like this for small businesses wanting to grow.” Swing by the business park at 15-17 Southern Cross Rd to take a look, or visit the Anchor Point Capital website for more details. Viewing of units is by appointment. A unique aspect of this development is its use of an advanced on-site precast construction system (OPS) owned by Boss Developments. Boss Construction is the only construction company in New Zealand that operates this innovative tilt bed system, using home-grown processes and Kiwi ingenuity to create concrete structural panels on-site in large numbers. “It reduces waste, maximises labour efficiencies and the speed of time onsite,” explains Guy. This innovative business park is the brainchild of Canterbury’s Anchor Point Capital. 2024/25 Boss Construction and Anchor Point Capital • Structural Engineering • Architectural Design • Civil Engineering • Industrial and Commercial BuildingDesign Specialists www.engenium.co.nz | +64 3 366 0434 Proud to support Boss Construction &Anchor Point Capital
