Commissioned to add more warehousing and yard capacity to Cardinal Logistics’ storage and distribution operation at Wiri, this stage 2 building of 17,700m2 also includes a small single-level office with basic staff amenities. The new warehouse is linked to the original building via a side canopy, and shares the same coloured cladding, but is otherwise a more utilitarian structure, with fewer architectural features.

The build itself also proved more straightforward, and was largely unhindered by the kind of earthworks complications encountered during stage one. The floor slab from a former warehouse building on the site was demolished, followed by ground improvement work that included extensive timber piling under the foundations.
