A versatile warehouse/office unit for sale offers a rare opening for a new occupier to secure a presence in one of central Auckland’s most sought-after industrial precincts.
The high-stud, clear-span warehouse with adjoining office/showroom is being offered for sale with vacant possession in the heart of the Saint Johns industrial hub.
Positioned some 12 kilometres from Auckland’s central business district, it is expected to generate intense buyer interest from owner-occupiers and investors seeking to attract new tenants, in an area known for its lack of vacancy.
The property at 67M Elizabeth Knox Place, Saint Johns, Auckland, is being marketed for sale through Bayleys South Auckland.

Sale is by deadline private treaty closing on Thursday 29 September, unless the property is sold earlier.
Bayleys salespeople William Gubb and Greg Hall said the offering consisted of a well-presented and immaculately fitted-out industrial unit of some 456 square metres, together with accessory units allowing ample parking and the ability to unload containers.
“The property incorporates a clear-span warehouse of some 217 square metres, which is accessed via a full-height motorised roller door,” Gubb said.
“This space provides excellent natural light and has a speed door providing separation between the warehouse and ground-floor office/showroom. The regular shape of this warehouse, and the open floor area free of supporting columns, makes it a particularly versatile and efficient space for a variety of uses.
“The front of the property houses immaculate, high-quality office space and amenities over two levels with a kitchenette boasting Miele appliances and two bathrooms, one of which has built-in shower facilities.
“The overall quality of the interior fit out is a highlight, with renovations carried out in the past few years to the warehouse, upstairs office and amenities, and building entrance area. Improvements include new heat pumps/air conditioning units, the installation of LED lighting and security enhancements, including a new warehouse roller door.
“The ability to acquire this site with vacant possession provides flexibility to purchasers who can either occupy immediately or negotiate a lease with a new tenant,” said Gubb.
The site for sale forms part of the Business – Light Industry zone under Auckland’s unitary plan.
Hall said this enabled a wide range of smaller-scale industrial uses in areas including manufacturing, production, logistics, storage, transport and distribution.
“Neighbouring occupiers are predominantly commercial and industrial, spanning diverse activities such as automotive, boating and electrical supplies, freight transport, food manufacturing, construction and building supplies.
“The area is also popular for owners of smaller ‘man caves’ or premises used for storing personal ‘toys’ such as classic cars, boats and motorcycles.
“The strength of the location is proven by this vibrant mix of users and the area’s recognised lack of vacancy and options for purchase,” said Hall
The proximity of Elizabeth Knox Place to the South Eastern Arterial provided great road access north, south and east to Howick and its surrounds, complemented by the site’s nearness to Glen Innes train station and convenient bus services, he said.
“This location is well placed to take advantage of the affluent residential catchments of Stonefields, Remuera, St Heliers and the surrounding Eastern Bays.
“Nearby Mount Wellington also boasts fantastic amenities, including those in the expansive Sylvia Park Shopping Centre, which are readily accessible for future staff and clients at the site for sale,” Hall said.
