Bishopsgate Business Centre

Location

This landmark development comprises an integrated retail/office/service complex involving several buildings on a prominent site of 1.2 hectares. Designed both for the smaller investor and or owner/occupier the centre has an overall value in excess of $23 million.

On behalf of clients PCG identified this site at a stage when there was considerable uncertainty over the potential of this area. As a result they were able to secure the land at a sensible price and with diligent design and construction management were able both to show a satisfactory return for their clients and to consolidate this strategic location for commercial activity.

Ti Rakau Business Studios

Location

This 1900 sq.m. site was one of several industrially zoned lots in the Ti Rakau Centre that had been stalled for some time due to a lack of development initiatives.

On behalf of clients it was acquired by PCG who devised and obtained planning permission for the first office/studio complex in South Auckland.

This 17-unit complex provides three level, self-contained accommodation suitable for a wide variety of small professional and service operations. Planning permission included a "live-in" residential option.

These units are held on unit titles with the majority being occupied by their owners.

G 2 Distribution Centre

Location

Acting on behalf of Freshmax Ltd, PCG was instrumental in securing and converting the long vacant Irvines factory into what is now regarded as one of New Zealand's premier cool chain distribution centres. Complete with drive through, temperature controlled inwards goods and multitruck dock dispatching, this facility services and supports Foodtown produce departments throughout the North Island.

G 2 Distribution Centre (continued)

Location

As an innovative feature, a new high stud warehouse for Weck Packaging (part of GEC) was constructed on a previously unused part of the site to facilitate crate supply and return as an integral part of the distribution process.

Huntington Business Centre

Location

Located on a main road site adjoining the Hub and the Botany Town Centre. PCG used planning initiatives to coordinate the conversion of what was lower value residential land into a high profile commercial nucleus.

Through observation of market trends in the retail, professional and services groupings, PCG identified a demand for freehold occupation by smaller businesses units.

To this end PCG coordinated the development of three freestanding buildings for smaller business operators with a fourth building being designed to accommodate New Zealand's leading pet and aquarium retail operation.

The Huntington Centre, which has developed a strong professional services focus, complements the range of services available at the Hub and Botany Town Centre.

Harris Road Small Business Work Units

Location

This, high profile site was the last undeveloped part of the Ti Rakau Centre complex in East Tamaki.

Development of 21 self-contained small business units proved to be an innovative and financially feasible solution for what was an awkwardly shaped and high cost lot. Each unit is held on its own unit title.

PCG identified the concept and provided the development management skills necessary to bring the project to fruition, and a successful financial conclusion.

Kudos Business Centre

Location

PCG was responsible for the "concept to completion" management of this project comprising 40 commercial units close to the Auckland International Airport. Situated on Kirkbride Road, these units have been designed to accommodate a wide range of commercial activities including retail, office and service style operations. Units are individually owned by way of unit title.

Beachlands Future Development

Location

PCG identified the potential of a high-profile rural block at the corner of Beachlands and Whitford-Maraetai Rd, for urban development as part of an expanded Beachlands settlement. PCG then negotiated the purchase of sufficient land for an economic development and completed its subdivision and purchase from the parent property, as a rural unit.

The achievement of a satisfactory urban zoning for the land then became the focus of activities. PCG has made submissions to Auckland regional and Manukau City Council planning and policy instruments, to encourage the potential development of Beachlands as a coastal centre, serviced by the Auckland regional ferry network.

A plan change for an expanded Beachlands settlement, including the client's land, is now under way.
