A recently rezoned piece of industrial land in the rapidly developing suburb of Hobsonville in West Auckland is being offered to the market for sale, giving buyers the opportunity to acquire a blank canvas landholding of scale.
86 Hobsonville Road is the final large format industrial-zoned site in Hobsonville that is available and benefits from high levels of visibility in a prime location with multiple street frontages.
The triangular-shaped site spans 21,328sq m and features contours rising toward the south-western boundary along Hobsonville Road. Its prominent positioning means it sees a high volume of passing traffic.
A cleanfill stockpile of approximately 9,000 cubic metres is located on-site, providing a valuable resource for future development and assisting with the creation of suitable building platforms.

Adding further functionality, the property includes an existing gravel yard capable of accommodating approximately 80 to 100 vehicles. This area offers immediate utility for vehicle storage, contractor yard use, equipment storage, overflow parking, or other interim operational requirements while future development plans are progressed.
The property is currently tenanted by Australian-owned construction company Built and the lease runs through until January 2027, providing $250,000 in annual rental income.
Colliers Brokers Luke McGill, Nelson Raines, and Sam Murphy have been exclusively appointed to market the property for sale via deadline private treaty closing at 4pm on Thursday 22 October, unless sold prior.
The vendor was recently successful in having the site rezoned to Business Light Industry under the Auckland Unitary Plan as part of Private Plan Change 111 (Hobsonville Grove).
McGill, Director of Industrial at Colliers, says with services already available to the property and established access in place, the site is well positioned to capitalise on the growing demand for industrial land within Auckland s northwest.
"The site is sparsely covered and ready for development. The scale of the landholding means it will appeal to occupiers as much as developers," McGill says.
While Hobsonville has quickly expanded as a business node, there are multiple consented residential developments near the subject site, and the established catchment of West Harbour is nearby. The motorway network can also be reached in approximately three minutes, opening up access to the wider Auckland region.
The Westgate Shopping Centre is a short drive away and offers access to a range of retail and hospitality amenities, including some of New Zealand s most well-known brands, such as The Warehouse, Noel Leeming, and Woolworths, among others.
Raines, General Manager at Colliers West Auckland, says improvements to roading and infrastructure have enhanced the connectivity of Hobsonville, making it a location of choice for firms seeking an opportunity to expand their footprint.
"Hobsonville continues to generate demand among industrial businesses with big-name firms establishing a presence in the area. With much of the available industrial land built out, this site represents a rare chance to secure a stake in this popular spot," Raines says.
"Nearby Hobsonville Point has been extensively developed with new shops and schools being built to accommodate Auckland's population growth."
Murphy, Industrial Sales Broker at Colliers, says there are concept plans that have been designed for what a future development at the property may look like.
"One development strategy could be to develop multiple buildings on the subject landholding to truly maximise the value of this substantial site," Murphy says.
