Four hectares, fully enabled in growth corridor

A newly rezoned four-hectare landholding forming part of the Whenuapai Business Park is being brought to market, offering developers, investors and owner-occupiers scale, planning clarity, and integration within one of Auckland’s most actively enabled industrial growth areas.

Bayleys industrial sales and leasing director, Paul Steele and colleague Wesley Gerber are marketing the freehold property at 96A Trig Road in Whenuapai for sale by deadline, closing at 4:00 pm on Wednesday, 11th March 2026 (unless sold prior).

Comprising 4.15ha (more or less) of predominantly level land, zoned Business – Light Industry, the property is offered with vacant possession. Scheme plans prepared for the site contemplate a staged, multi-unit industrial development aligned with the wider vision for the emerging Whenuapai Business Park precinct.

Steele says the significance of the offering lies in both its scale and position within a coordinated growth environment.

“This is not an isolated parcel of land – it sits within a precinct actively transitioning from rural fringe to what will be one of the country’s premier business environments. Live zoning is settled, infrastructure is in place or programmed, and the surrounding land is being positioned for complementary industrial use. That creates confidence.”

“Light Industry zoning anticipates a broad range of activities including manufacturing, logistics, storage, transport and distribution. In a market where supply constraints on the North Shore and in established inner-west locations continue to displace occupiers, Whenuapai has emerged as a logical expansion corridor,” he says.

Circa 150 metres of frontage to Trig Road, together with two existing vehicle crossings, provides strong arterial exposure and design flexibility, Steele adds.

“The subject property’s largely level contour supports efficient development and cost-effective site works, while the absence of identified flood risk, significant contour constraints or ecological overlays materially reduces feasibility uncertainty.

“Developers inherently seek projects where environmental risk and planning friction are minimal. This property benefits from clean physical attributes and live industrial zoning – a combination that shortens decision-making timelines.”

Connectivity underpins the precinct’s long-term relevance. Whenuapai sits between State Highways 16 and 18, with efficient access to multiple interchanges and the Western Ring Route linking West Auckland to the North Shore, Auckland Airport precinct, and the CBD. Brigham Creek Road is being progressively upgraded to support planned industrial land and strengthen links to the motorway network.

The surrounding area is supported by substantial residential growth and metropolitan-scale retail investment at Westgate and Hobsonville, alongside public infrastructure investment designed to future-proof the corridor.

Bayleys land development sales director, Wesley Gerber says Auckland Council’s staged growth strategy – incorporating high-and-medium-density housing, employment land, and roading infrastructure – reinforces Whenuapai’s critical role in Auckland’s north-west expansion.

“As additional services and industrial capacity are required to support this growth, large-format, development-ready sites within structured precincts will be tightly held and keenly pursued.

“For developers, the scale of 96A Trig Road supports a staged delivery aligned with market absorption. Owner-occupiers may see the opportunity to secure long-term operational control within a coordinated business environment, and for strategic investors, it represents a substantial foothold in a precinct where zoning, infrastructure and growth policy are aligned.

“In this cycle, capital is gravitating toward assets where confidence is built into the fundamentals. Here you have four hectares, fully enabled – not just by zoning but by precinct planning commitment to infrastructure and demonstrable market migration to the north-west,” Gerber says.
