Clearand it is beingmarketed by Sam<br />
Staite and NoelGilchrist of real estateand<br />
investment company Colliers.<br />
The national development manager for<br />
MainlandCapital,BlairBrown, says the<br />
economic strength of the Rangiora<br />
catchment, combined with the lack of<br />
supply of commercial land, attractedthe<br />
company to the project.<br />
‘‘Workingclosely with Waimakariri<br />
District Council, and neighbour Daniel<br />
SmithIndustries,has allowedustoarrive<br />
at adevelopmentplan we see as very<br />

precinct.<br />

region’s ongoing success.’’<br />

hectares, withthe 35 sitesranging in size<br />
from 1249 square metres(sqm) through to<br />

says, the new industrialpark has the<br />
potential to createmore employment,<br />
greatereconomic activity and agreater<br />
range of products and services for local<br />
residents.<br />
‘‘The Waimakariri District, from the<br />
mountains to the sea haseverything in<br />
between, offering afantastic lifestyle and<br />
since the opening of the new motorways,<br />
Christchurch <strong>North</strong>ern Corridor and the<br />
WesternBelfast Bypass, it is now just a<br />
short drive to both the Christchurch<br />
CentralBusiness District and<br />
Christchurch International Airport.<br />
‘‘Soitiscertainlynot surprisingthat<br />
more and more peopleare wantingto<br />
move to the area, for both lifestyle and<br />
business,’’hesays.<br />
