A significant industrial facility at 37-41 Poland Road, Wairau Valley, represents a compelling proposition that would suit a wide range of occupiers seeking space in one of Auckland's most tightly held industrial precincts.
Spanning 5,799sq m of improvements across an 8,589sq m freehold site, this well-maintained facility delivers the scale and functionality that modern industrial operations demand. Opportunities such as this one are rarely seen in the North Shore industrial market.
The property's Business – Light Industry zoning provides operational flexibility across manufacturing, logistics, distribution, and storage activities.
The asset's merit lies in its high warehouse-to-office ratio, featuring 4,651sq m of warehouse space across two levels. The first-floor medium stud warehouse spans 2,651sq m, complemented by a 1,981sq m basement facility. Supporting this warehousing capacity is a 645sq m main office with additional mezzanine boardroom facilities.

The prime location within the Wairau precinct underpins the property's investment appeal. Located one block from the Wairau Road arterial, the facility benefits from unparalleled motorway connectivity via Tristram Avenue and Northcote interchanges, placing Auckland's CBD within a 15-minute radius under normal conditions.
This connectivity advantage has attracted a diverse tenant base to the broader precinct, from manufacturing and distribution operations to prominent retail anchors, including Bunnings, Mitre 10, and major automotive dealerships.
Colliers Directors Matt Prentice and Shoneet Chand have been exclusively appointed to market the property for sale via deadline private treaty, closing at 4pm on Wednesday 23 July, unless sold prior.
Prentice, Director of Industrial Sales and Leasing at Colliers, says the warehouse-to-office ratio serves as a considerable drawcard.
“Top-quality facilities that provide maximum operational efficiency such as this one are highly sought-after by industrial businesses," Prentice says.
"With vacant possession on the horizon, a new occupant could establish operations immediately."
Originally built in the early 1970s to institutional standards, the facility has undergone strategic additions and renovations, ensuring contemporary functionality while maintaining structural integrity. This evolution reflects the broader transformation of Wairau Valley from its origins six decades ago into today's key business hub.
Ancillary facilities enhance the asset's operational appeal. A 1,500sq m secure concrete yard provides flexibility for storage, vehicle parking, or expansion, while 36 dedicated car parks address modern workplace requirements. These features position the property to accommodate diverse industrial applications while supporting potential intensification strategies.
Chand, Director of Investment Sales at Colliers, says the timing presents particular strategic value with the current occupant departing in late July, meaning incoming operators or owners can capitalise on immediate possession.
“Wairau Valley supports a wide range of service and trade-based businesses that cater to nearby affluent residential suburbs, creating a resilient tenant demand profile,” Chand says.
“The chance to purchase or lease this property provides multiple pathways for value creation.”
For investors, the asset presents clear value-add potential through strategic repositioning or redevelopment, particularly given the evolving industrial landscape and Auckland's ongoing housing and infrastructure development demands.
Owner-occupiers will recognise the operational efficiencies and advantages that large-scale, well-located industrial facilities provide in today's competitive marketplace.
Chand says in a market where significant industrial assets rarely become available with vacant possession, this opportunity demands immediate attention.
