Following on from the Auckland Councils decision to centralise the council service centres around some Auckland’s suburbs. This will unlock a substantial amount of vacant office space in central Takapuna. Originally home to the former North Shore City Council since it was built, the property at 1-7 The Strand Takapuna is available to occupy now, with flexible tenancy sizes and favourable rental rates on offer.
The four-level office building has spaces of between 750sq m to 8,000sq m, with flexibility to partition off smaller areas as required by tenants. This prominent property offers spectacular harbour views and is a stone’s throw from Takapuna Beach.
This is a great opportunity for Takapuna to attract new business into our piece of paradise. The Council is highly motivated to sublease the property, making this a superb chance for tenants to secure a flexible amount of office space. Alternately, a long-term lease may be obtained by exercising the existing right of renewal, or possibly by negotiating directly with the property owner.
The property offers a ready-to-occupy solution that would be ideal for a start-up company requiring flexibility to expand, or an established organisation needing a base. This could be a turn key solution for a company as the space includes a boardroom, meeting rooms, kitchen and lunchroom, and a reception area all within a clean, open plan design.
To add to the convenience, a range of furniture is available if required, including desks, chairs, meeting and boardroom tables.
The property has good access to the motorway network, putting it within 15 minutes’ drive of the Auckland CBD. The location also makes it highly convenient to service North Shore-based projects.
As we know Takapuna offers excellent public transport links, with bus routes linking the seaside suburb with the CBD and the North Shore’s residential suburbs, which provide an excellent workforce catchment.
Staff will be able to enjoy the best the North Shore has to offer, with a large wraparound deck to enjoy the outstanding harbour views.
Takapuna is the North Shore’s premier centre, providing shopping, recreational, employment and commercial services in a unique beachfront setting. The suburb is anticipated to become the backyard for an estimated 15,000 residents and 15,000 employees by 2040. This growth is supported by Takapuna’s central location. It is only 9km from Auckland City and 28km from Auckland International Airport.
We are open to hear your thoughts on who would be a good fit for this space and who you would like to see share this special part of Auckland with us.
Our Commercial Manager Janet Marshall has been appointed Master Agent for this space and would love to hear from you.
On another note I was personally pleased the public recently voted for change in Takapuna. With the imminent start of construction of the new council 420 space carpark in the old Gasometer site which will include both electric car and bike charging, bike storage and motorbike parking along with “end of trip” facilities including changing rooms. The plans to revitalise Takapuna by improving public spaces, creating a new town square and the connection to the beach. I am looking forward to watching Takapuna grow and create more opportunity for all of us.
