The industrial property for sale at 30 Rosebank Rd, Avondale.
Two smaller industrial properties in Avondale and Penrose are for sale that are ideal for entry level buyers seeking to enter the commercial property investment market.
"Good industrial property is hard to find, especially in the inner western fringe," says Chris Peterson of Barfoot & Thompson Commercial who, with colleague Reese Barragar is selling 30 Rosebank Rd by auction at 10.30 am on Wednesday, December 9, at the agency's Shortland St auction room unless it sells earlier by negotiation.
Peterson says the Avondale property is "a superbly located standalone freehold 1960s' warehouse" of 154.4 sq m occupying a well-established freehold 259 sq m main road site less than 10 kms to the Auckland CBD.

"This freehold warehouse is occupied by a tyre shop on a short term lease with vacant possession being granted on settlement," he says. "It comes with four on-site car parks and will appeal to industrial owner occupiers and investors," he says. "The property benefits from a high traffic count and would particularly suit an automotive service business although it is open to other industrial uses."
Reese Barragar, of Barfoot & Thompson City Commercial.
Barragar says the property is currently zoned Business 4 with a 15 metre height limit. "However under the Proposed Auckland Unitary Plan [PAUP] the zoning will change to Light Industry and the height limit will rise to 20 metres.."
The property is located on the southern side of Rosebank Road just to the east of the Avondale strip retail shopping precinct.
"This location will benefit from big infrastructure projects currently underway specifically the new Waterview Connection motorway interchange, which will dramatically improve access and accessibility to Auckland Airport and Central City," Barragar says.
"The owner has recently subdivided the site to create three separate freehold titles and certificates of titles are pending."
Barragar says overall construction of the building is of concrete foundations and walls, with steel framing, wood joinery and Longrun steel roofing. A recent seismic report assesses the building at 60 per cent New Building Standard (NBS) well above the minimum standard for earthquake risk of 34 per cent.
