A substantial industrial facility in Penrose is available for a new occupier wanting scale, efficiency and high-quality improvements in one of Auckland’s most tightly-held logistics precincts.
Located at 655 Great South Road, the property has been occupied for around 20 years by a large food processing and distribution company. The site has served as the company’s Auckland production and logistics hub, supporting its nationwide operations.
With sustained growth driving increased capacity requirements, the business has now outgrown the premises and secured a new facility to accommodate its expanding business, with the Penrose property available from mid-2027.
The property comprises approximately 5,808.8sqm of high-stud warehousing, along with office and showroom space on an 8,718.8sqm secure site.

The warehouse features stud heights from around 9.6 to 13 metres, multiple roller doors, generous canopies and extensive yarding.
Existing racking can remain in place, delivering more than 4,500 pallet spaces, and the solar power system provides an opportunity to reduce ongoing power costs.
The rear warehouse incorporates a dedicated coolstore facility, adding further versatility for occupiers with temperature-controlled requirements.
The property also includes a high-profile office and showroom component with excellent natural light, open-plan areas and glass-partitioned offices. Seventy-eight on-site car parks and dual vehicle access are practical for both staff and visitors.
The property is for lease by negotiation through James Valintine, Sunil Bhana and James Hill of Bayleys South Auckland.
The building’s configuration, scale and operational features make it well-suited to a single occupier requiring substantial warehousing or logistics capability, and the Business Heavy Industry zoning also allows for manufacturing, Valintine explains.
“Inquiry is expected to be strong from occupiers seeking a turnkey solution in a core industrial location.
"It presents an opportunity for a new tenant to secure a substantial industrial facility in a prime Penrose location, with roughly 12 months’ lead time giving room to plan and manage a smooth transition.
“There is also the option to configure the facility for two separate occupiers if required, although the layout is naturally suited to a single user.”
Described as one of the most substantial industrial facilities to become available in Penrose in recent years, the combination of high-stud warehousing, existing racking and excellent access to State Highway 1 makes it a compelling option in today’s leasing market.
“The operational layout is a major advantage, and the solar roof panels help drive real energy cost savings, which impacts a business’s bottom line,” says Hill.
“The front and rear warehouse areas are connected by an enclosed canopy, which creates excellent flow for freight movement and storage, and it is a very logical building for logistics operators who need efficiency and clear-span volume.
“Penrose continues to be one of Auckland’s most sought-after industrial precincts. Opportunities of this scale are limited, and buildings with this level of functionality are even harder to find.”
Situated less than 500 metres from the State Highway 1 interchange, the site benefits from exceptional connectivity to Auckland’s arterial transport network and the wider industrial hubs of Penrose, Onehunga, Mt Wellington and East Tāmaki.
