A recently completed industrial unit in the heart of Mount Maunganui’s low-vacancy commercial precinct offers a rewarding opportunity for investors, including an option to split the space for dual tenancy and maximum returns.

Bayleys Tauranga Commercial Sales and Leasing broker Rory Brown is marketing the property at 41 Newton Street for sale by deadline, closing at 4:00 pm on Thursday, 13th March 2025 (unless sold prior).

Brown says that with a flexible dual-level layout, the property allows investors to generate multiple income streams or gives owner-occupiers the option to work from one tenancy while leasing out the other.

“Unit 5 is one of ten in the boutique complex, offering a premium opportunity to secure modern, versatile commercial premises in a high-demand location.

“Positioned within Commercial Business zone with two allocated car parks, the property benefits from its proximity to the Port of Tauranga, New Zealand’s busiest export hub, along with access to main arterial routes, including Hewletts Road and Maunganui Road.”

Brown says that the surrounding area is home to well-established national brands such as tyre company Repco and outdoor power equipment retailer Stihl, reinforcing Newton Street’s reputation as a key commercial corridor within Mount Maunganui’s industrial landscape.

“The Mount’s industrial market remains resilient, with ongoing appetite from investors and business owners seeking modern functional accommodation. As the cost of new construction remains high, and the pipeline for new development tightening following a challenging 24 months economically, well-located existing properties increasingly present a compelling option from purchasers looking to leverage current market opportunities.”

Totalling 253sqm (more or less) over two levels, the unit’s contemporary configuration accommodates a variety of potential uses, including showroom, office functions and warehousing.

The ground floor spans 117sqm (more or less) in an open-plan layout with a kitchenette and accessible bathroom, while the upper-level mirrors this with its own kitchenette and bathroom.

With separate access points, the space offers flexibility for a single tenant or two independent occupancies.

“Glazing across the front of the unit enhances natural light while improving energy efficiency. The unit also benefits from allocated car parking positioned conveniently near the entry.

“Whether for an owner-occupier looking to establish a base in Mount Maunganui or an investor seeking a well-appointed property packed with rental potential, this unit hits the right note. The option for dual tenancy creates an additional revenue stream for investors, while the functional, high-quality design will appeal to businesses needing a modern, well-connected workspace.”

Brown says that despite some softening across the broader market, industrial properties in Mount Maunganui’s prime commercial and industrial precincts continue to transact well, driven by demand from well-capitalised investors and business owners, particularly in the sub-$4 million price bracket.

“Opportunities like this don’t stay on the market for long – especially in a precinct where space is at a premium. Whether you’re looking to diversify your portfolio or secure a foothold in one of Mount Maunganui’s most sought-after industrial zones, this unit delivers the flexibility, functionality, and futureproofing demanded by smart investors and business owners today.”
