The building of a new 7000 square metre warehouse and office facility for international freight forward Röhlig Logistics by Auckland Airport will complete Stage 2 of The Landing business park.
The site at 13 Maurice Wilson Avenue will also accommodate two 3000sqm general purpose warehouse and office facilities, further accelerating the Airport Company’s building programme which continues to support South Auckland’s industrial leasing market.
Development focus will now shift to Stage 3 and the preparation of a further 12 hectares of land. Earthworks on Stage 3A are finalising in March 2017.
Mark Thomson, Auckland Airport’s general manager – property, says Röhlig is joining a roll-call of major logistics and manufacturing companies.
“We have developed The Landing to attract long-term tenants, not simply through proximity to the airport but through the overall master-planning and our ability to design buildings to the unique requirements of our tenants,” says Thomson.
With more than 150 years’ history and over 150 branches in 33 countries worldwide, Röhlig is an ideal partner for us and we can provide a new base for them in New Zealand that will directly benefit their customers.”
Röhlig New Zealand’s managing director, Andrew Antonopolous, says the move to The Landing will not only help existing clients but support the company’s growth strategy here in New Zealand.
“We are committed to growing our New Zealand business here in Auckland,” says Antonopolous.
“This new purpose-built facility and its surrounding amenities will cater for this growth and play a major role in enabling us to attract and retain the high calibre of staff that will help to drive our business forward,” he says.
