The big Central Institute of Technology (CIT) Campus at 51 Somme Road in Heretaunga, Upper Hutt, encompassing 18.29 hectares of freehold land and 28,000 square metres of buildings, is on the market.
"Given its size it is anticipated the site lends itself to a mixed use scenario," says John Persico of JLL Wellington who is selling the property by tenders to be received by Tuesday May 12.
Persico, who is selling the property on behalf of the Ministry of Education, says the land area is held in three titles and zoned "Special Activities" under the rules of the Upper Hutt City Council.
The campus includes an administration block, lecture theatres, classroom blocks, six halls of residence with accommodation for 500-600 students, a childcare centre, library, computer centre, tennis court and two sports fields.
"The size and diversity of the buildings and open spaces on offer at this property lends this site to a wider range of integrated commercial and/or residential development options," Persico says.
