An exceptional opportunity to acquire a substantial freehold city fringe property combining significant redevelopment potential with existing mission-critical digital infrastructure.
Previously occupied by one of New Zealand's leading telecommunications providers as a fully operational data centre and network facility, the property retains key elements of its specialist infrastructure. This presents a rare opportunity to secure a purpose configured asset that can support continued data centre operations, edge computing, disaster recovery, mission-critical services, or other high-value technology uses.
As demand for data centre capacity, resilient power supply, and strategically located digital infrastructure continues to outpace supply, opportunities of this nature are becoming increasingly scarce. The existing infrastructure represents considerable embedded capital investment, providing a potential cost and time advantage over developing a comparable facility from the ground up.
Key investment highlights include:
1. Existing telecommunications and data centre infrastructure.
2. Purpose-configured for mission-critical operations.
3. Significant embedded capital value in existing building services and infrastructure.
4. Potential for continued data centre use, edge computing, cloud services or hybrid digital operations.
5. Rare infrastructure asset within Auckland's tightly held city fringe.
Adding to its appeal, the property is zoned Business – Mixed Use, providing exceptional flexibility for future development. The zoning supports a wide range of potential outcomes, including:
1. Continued or expanded data centre and digital infrastructure operations.
2. Commercial or employment-based redevelopment.
3. Residential or mixed-use development (subject to the applicable planning controls).
4. Staged redevelopment to maximise long-term value.
Unlike more prescriptive zoning regimes, the Business Mixed Use Zone allows owners to respond to changing market conditions and optimise the property's highest and best use over time, making this a compelling opportunity for investors, developers and owner-occupiers seeking both immediate functionality and long-term upside.
