Awards:
2023 – Property Industry – Industrial Property Award of Excellence and Best in Category

             "The brief: to create a striking sculptural base with a raft of tricky technical must-haves. The result: a purpose-built 19,000sqm temperature-controlled pharmaceutical-grade facility for tenants EBOS Group (Healthcare Logistics).  This was not new territory for owner and developer Auckland Airport (AIAL), which established The Landing mixed-used business park as a premiere hub for logistics operations.

              Although the warehouse and offices project an image of a simple, pared back style that settles attractively into the landscaped business park, its functions are many and complex. For a start, the building must maintain different temperatures in different zones — critical for storing medicines. The merging of the tasteful and the technical was achieved through expert architectural, electrical and refrigeration input and successful collaboration between everyone involved.

             ...the facility has New Zealand’s only fully environmentally enclosed yard in a full temperature-controlled site with zero time out. This latter refers to the tricky task of receiving and dispatching sensitive goods without them ever being outside a temperature-controlled environment...The development, which received local iwi support, is constructed to Green Star 4 standard and has a system for tracking energy and water performance."
