It comprises a purpose-built, 1078sq m facility on a 2975sq m freehold site.

Tenant Bridgestone New Zealand Ltd is a wholly owned subsidiary of Bridgestone Corporation,  the world’s largest tyre maker.

The company was on a nine-year lease and has recently exercised a second right of renewal of three years from November 2019. Four more rights of renewal extend final expiry to 2034. The lease earns $133,543 plus GST in net annual rent.

“This property has rock-solid fundamentals, including a superb location, strong tenant covenant and A-grade modern construction,” Jarvie says.

“It is within the northern industrial precinct of Te Rapa Park and offers easy access to State Highway 1, 4km away.

“The property was purpose-built for Bridgestone New Zealand. An exceptional tenant covenant, backed by household name recognition, makes 1 De Leeuw Pl an exceptional, secure passive investment.”

Alan Pracy, director of Colliers Hamilton, says the property is of full-height concrete construction with a separate yard and customer parking.

“The building is superbly presented and of excellent quality, with an A-grade seismic rating,” he says.

“A 774sq m warehouse with dual roller doors provides drive-through access and features a stud height that accommodates large vehicles.

“A 176.6sq m office is split over two levels and features an entry foyer as well as a lunchroom for staff. The property also has 130.7sq m of storage and 189.8sq m of canopy.

“The site has a 900sq m yard which allows for trucks to come and go with ease and also has car parking.
