"Silverdale is one of the fastest-growing areas of New Zealand, with significant commercial development and thousands of new homes being built or planned nearby.
"This property's zoning under the Auckland Unitary Plan will allow for a mix of residential and commercial activities up to 18m in height, making it a superb investment in a growth area."
Chand says the property earns a substantial holding income from seven tenancies.
"Only 20 per cent of the site is built, allowing active investors to immediately develop under-utilised parts of the site for higher value uses."
Prentice says the corner property, in the heart of Silverdale, offers more than 140m of street frontage.
"It is on Silverdale St, the township's main retail strip, just metres from the intersection with the Hibiscus Coast Highway," he says.
The property comprises four buildings with a net lettable area of 936sq m and 1908sq m of yard.
"Three retail tenants have frontages on Silverdale St, which has a number of council-owned kerbside angle car parks," Prentice says.
House of Floors and Raw Essentials occupy 228sq m and 235sq m respectively in a commercial building dating to the 1990s, while a standalone 153sq m converted cottage is leased to Mr T Cafe. "A further two retail tenancies front Agency Lane, which also offers kerbside angle parking," Prentice says.
Trenz Kitchens occupies a 140sq m tenancy, while the adjoining 180sq m retail unit will be available for lease from August 1.
Two industrial tenants - Silverdale Marine and Pacific Gladstone - occupy tenancies on Agency Lane of 1,300sq m and 608sq m respectively.
The property is zoned Business Town Centre under the Unitary Plan. This provides for a range of activities including commercial, leisure, residential, tourist, cultural, community and civic services, with a focus on commercial activities and growth.
Coburn says Silverdale is poised to benefit from substantial population growth, driven by large-scale housing developments and Aucklanders making the lifestyle move north.
"Silverdale will be the Hibiscus Coast's commercial hub, and a number of national retailers are already setting up shop," he says.
"The Millwater housing development and the soon-to-be-completed Silverdale Mall will bring more residents and spending to the area. Silverdale really is on the up and up."
Coburn says several new major retailers have recently opened in the area including Pak'nSave Save and Bunnings.
Other national retailers are established at the nearby Silverdale Centre including The Warehouse, Countdown, Noel Leeming, Supercheap Auto, Warehouse Stationery and ANZ.
"The nearby Silverdale Mall is due to open at the end of the year, cementing Silverdale as the commercial hub of the Hibiscus Coast."
