224 Neilson Street - Warehouse A is the second and larger stage of Argosy Property’s flagship industrial logistics hub in Onehunga. On a 3.5 hectare strategic freight site, Stage 2 (Warehouse A) delivers an 11,500 metre square high-clear warehouse with integrated breezeway, yards and modern office accommodation, designed to support next-generation logistics and targeting a 6 Green Star Design & As Built rating.
The project converted a heavily contaminated former steel pipe manufacturing site into a safe, long-term asset. Historic asbestos, hydrocarbon and heavy metal contamination was managed under a formal Remediation Action Plan and Works Completion Report. A key initiative was processing and reusing around 4,000 cubic metres of asbestos-impacted concrete beneath Warehouse A’s raft slab and pavements, significantly reducing landfill disposal, truck movements and demand for imported aggregate - while lowering embodied carbon.
Warehouse A forms part of a wider sustainable precinct that includes one of New Zealand’s larger rooftop solar arrays, efficient LED lighting with smart controls, rainwater harvesting, low-carbon materials and very high construction waste diversion. Adjacent stream restoration, including weir removal, native fish relocation and bank stabilisation, further strengthens the environmental outcome.
Haydn & Rollett worked closely with Argosy, JWA Architects, Stephen Mitchell Engineers and eCubed to deliver the $22M build in around 10 months, maintaining programme, safety, quality and sustainability objectives - a scalable model for net zero aligned distribution in a blue chip location.
