Leading courier company Aramex NZ has plans to move into a new head office in Napier.

The national headquarters for Aramex NZ is already based in the city as the company started as Fastway Couriers in Napier during the 1980s.

A brand-new, two-storey premises is currently being built near Kmart Napier at 107 Ford Rd.

“Aramex New Zealand’s head office and local courier depot will be based in the building, and they have agreed to a 10-year lease term with two further rights of renewal for five years each,” said a statement from Colliers, a real estate company which is marketing the property.

That building and large surrounding property known as 95-111 Ford Rd have been put up for sale and include five buildings in total.

The various buildings and tenants on site include EuroCity LMVD car dealership, Smith & Smith, Complete Paints, Portacom NZ, and MYLK.

The current total net annual rental income from the entire property is about $1.6 million, according to Colliers.

Aramex NZ declined to comment.
