The bare land Tauriko site is zoned Tauriko Industry under Tauranga City Council's district plan, and is being sold ready for development — subject to obtaining the necessary consents. All utility services and roading are in place to sustain building.
Agents say the property has access utilities, including:
• Water: Tauriko Business Estate supply comes from the Oropi reservoirs and is reticulated and available in the road berms.
• Storm water: Tauriko Business Estate is connected to Tauranga City Council's storm water system. There is a storm water connection within the lots.
• Waste water: The estate is connected to the council's wastewater system. Sewer mains have been supplied throughout the estate, ultimately connecting to the southern pipeline.
• Telecommunications: Sites are serviced by ultra-fast fibre up to 1gbs reticulated in the road berms ready for connection. Mobile broadband up to 5mbs, wireless internet 10mbs down, 1mbs up.The network is serviced by all the leading retailers.
• Power: Tauriko is serviced by underground cables enabling a minimum of three phase 100amp per lot. Should a purchaser require a higher level of service, they can enter into direct dialogue with Powerco.
• Gas: Connection to a minimum of 200Kpa is reticulated in the road berms ready for connection.
The health and well-being of all employees at businesses within the 200ha business estate has been factored into the wider development. Dirt tracks are to be upgraded into groomed walking, running and cycle ways. Tracks will intertwine among fruit tree plantations, outdoor exercise equipment, and the extension of the area's sculpture walk.
"Tauriko is the most accessible large-scale industrial and logistics location in the Bay of Plenty region for getting products or personnel from warehouse to port, airport or on the road," Davidson says.
"The hub is located just 9.9 kilometres from the Port of Tauranga, 8.4km from Tauranga's central business district, and has direct access to State Highways 2, 29, and 36.
"The multi-use business park has captured local and national attention with its innovative and versatile design concept and emphasis on quality," says Davidson.
The business estate was first established in Tauranga's City Plan in 2004, with the first tenancies within the precinct sold in 2006.
Davidson says over ensuing years many owner-occupiers and tenants established significant businesses at there; large warehousing and logistics firms, through to enterprises specialising in the automotive engineering sector, and construction and home-building companies.
Taylor says building covenants will ensure a high quality build environment permeated within the estate — delivering a degree of comfort to purchasers and occupiers that their neighbours also had the same requirement to build quality premises.
"Tauriko's building covenants include the establishment of landscaping and parking amenities through to building premises of architectural merit — particularly in the type of building components and materials being used," she says.
