A premier shovel-ready, greenfield industrial site in Hobsonville’s rapidly expanding industrial precinct is being presented to the market offering owner-occupiers and developers the opportunity to secure a prime landholding for their next major project.
Lot 8, 96 Hobsonville Road, Hobsonville is a 4,566sq m freehold site that is situated among a new 15-lot subdivision in one of Auckland’s fastest growing suburbs.
Zoned Business – Light Industry Zone under the Auckland Unitary Plan, the site has a flat contour and offers 33m of road frontage with 88m of depth. All typical municipal services are connected to the site and the new Record of Title will be issued in the near future.
Hobsonville is a coastal suburb that borders West Harbour and Whenuapai. The nearby Workspace Drive and Westpoint Drive to the west have been recently developed into industrial subdivisions.

Colliers Directors Matt Prentice and Josh Coburn have been exclusively appointed to market the site for sale by deadline private treaty with the deadline for offers closing at 4pm on Tuesday 10 May, unless sold prior.
Prentice, Director of Industrial Sales and Leasing at Colliers, says industrial vacancy rates are at notable lows across Auckland, making this an optimal time to secure a road front site of compelling scale.
“The latest research from Colliers indicates industrial vacancy rates in West Auckland are approximately 2.8 per cent, while sitting even lower in other parts of the city,” Prentice says.
“There is little sign of immediate relief on the horizon, which makes this landholding incredibly attractive for owner-occupiers, developers, or investors who will recognise the potential on offer from this outstanding site that is set to generate strong interest.”
Coburn, Director of Site Sales at Colliers, says this is a strategic industrial location that is already home to a number of blue-chip operators.
“The new owner will be in the company of some of New Zealand’s most trusted and well-known brands, including Mainfreight, Makita, and Metalcraft Roofing and will position themselves in the growth centre of the north-west,” Coburn says.
“The Business – Light Industry Zone anticipates industrial activities that includes manufacturing, production, logistics, storage, transport, and distribution activities.
“This flexible zoning ensures prospective purchasers will have a range of options with this high-quality site, while the property is only two minutes’ drive from the on-ramp for the Western Ring Route presenting a high level of connectivity to the rest of the city.”
Coburn says the continued growth in the north-west of Auckland means there is a strong need for further development of the area and this new industrial subdivision will add to that.
“Hobsonville Point, which on completion will be home to more than 10,000 residents across 4,500 homes, is only a six-minute drive away and the area has undergone intensive development to accommodate Auckland’s ongoing population growth.
“This has led to upgrades to the Northwestern Motorway, while State Highway 18 now links with State Highway 1 providing convenience for residents. Off-peak travel times to the CBD are approximately 20 minutes, and Auckland Airport can be reached in 30 minutes.
“Prominent retail sites NorthWest Shopping Centre and Westgate Shopping are a short drive from the subject site, adding further interest to this sought-after location.”
