Amberley commercial sections offer development opportunities
Amberley commercial sections offer development opportunities
Further land development is likely in the thriving north Canterbury township of Amberley with 14 commercial sections placed on the market for sale.
The chunk of land comprising the sections is located in Amberley Business Park on the outskirts of the townships at 79 Carters Road. The sections range from 1000 to 5000 sqm.
With the Amberley Townships District Plan release of the Business zoned land, the subdivisions have now become available for sale by negotiation. They are being marketed by Bayleys Canterbury salespeople Harry van Tongeren, Jeremy Speight and Jonathan Ahlfeld.
The sites are situated in a growing area of the township, east of State Highway 1, and 45 minutes from Christchurch International Airport.
Within
the immediate area are an industrial site occupied by a
Mobil petrol station and PGG Wrightson outlet. The sites are
also near Brackenfields shopping centre, Countdown
supermarket and new residential subdivisions.
Mr van
Tongeren said the subdivisions represented an opportunity to
invest in a flourish commercial and industrial
area.
“The number of such businesses being developed and opening in this area represent a thriving market. For example Brackenfields – a $20 million retail, residential, professional services and recreation centre – opened in May this year and is positioned to become the commercial hub of North Canterbury. Anchor tenant Countdown has been operating from the site for several months with a number of other tenants confirmed.
“On average 21,000
people pass through Amberley daily. The location also
functions as the commercial and retail hub for residents in
the immediate catchment of the Hurunui, as well as wider
North Canterbury.”
Mr Speight said: “Amberley is
historically the commercial centre for the Hurunui District,
and is home to a number of services including the Hurunui
District Council, Hurunui District Library, and a variety of
commercial operators. It is also home to the growing retail
hub of the district.”
Business in the region was evolving, with development prompting existing industrial businesses on Amberley’s main street to move outwards to the township fringes, to be replaced with retail, he said.
The commercial subdivisions would appeal to savvy investors looking to develop industrial, engineering, manufacturing, distribution and transport businesses, said Mr Speight.
“With a modern and park-like environment, this new subdivision is set to achieve a well presented and community based location for most business requirements.”
According to last year's census, the
population of the Amberley area was 1575, up from 1137 in
the 2001 census and 1302 in 2006.
Under the Hurunui
District Council plan for the town an upgrade of the main
street is proposed, along with creating a town centre
business zone, and upgrading the north and south entrances.
Residential subdivisions including Oakfields and Conway
Country Estates will add more than 500 new sections.
“This township continues to evolve and flourish,”
said Mr Speight.
“These sections for sale represent an
opportunity to invest in the bright futures of this
area.”
The 14 sections at 79 Carters Road are for sale by negotiation.
