Your options
Within the Airport Business District there are seven precincts that focus on specific land-use types and cater for the varying needs of particular businesses.
The Landing
The Landing will be a world-class warehouse and logistics location developed to a concept designed by renowned US-based firm Surface Design. In addition to its leading business park facilities, The Landing will border the Oruarangi Creek and will provide a significant recreational asset for the public of Auckland as well as providing an important link to the Otuataua Stonefields.
The Quad
This is the business heart of the Airport Business District, providing a wide mixture of amenities to service the wider airport. The Quad is focused mainly on office activities with some hotel accommodation and retail to service passengers and airport workers. The office development provides businesses with a quality environment for staff and clients. The Quad is already home to airlines and support services integral to the airport.
Altitude
Altitude provides a whole range of commercial opportunities that showcase New Zealand’s way of life to the world. It is an entertainment, retail and education precinct that is focused on services to airport users, particularly tourists, trade and airport workers. The Airport Shopping Centre is located here and includes a supermarket, discount department store, medical services and cafes.
The Common
The Common comprises 111 hectares and is being developed as a recreation and heritage area. It features our golf course, driving range and marae. A range of other activities is currently being planned including bike and walking trails. The Common will also be home to a number of historic buildings that are being relocated and restored as part of ongoing airport expansion. There will be a range of opportunities for unique buildings set in a low-density natural environment.
Cargo South
Located at the operational heart of the airport, the Cargo South precinct offers a unique environment with close proximity and access to the existing Southern runway. The 57 hectare precinct is already home to a range of aviation-focused businesses including aeronautical engineering, general aviation, postal and courier services, sterilisation facilities, flight catering, specialised perishable goods and livestock export facilities, freight forwarding and logistics. There is a range of opportunities including sites for new facilities and existing warehouse and office space. Cargo South is also home to Cargo Central, a multi-let air cargo centre where over 31 organisations occupy a range of office and warehouse spaces ranging in size from 35 to 850 square metres. The New Zealand Customs Freight Inspection facility is located at the entrance to Cargo South on the corner of George Bolt Memorial Drive and Tom Pearce Drive, together with the main ground handling facilities.
Cargo North
Located to the north of The Quad, this is another vital operational hub with close proximity and access to the planned future Northern runway. Cargo North has a total area of 17 hectares. It is suitable for businesses seeking larger footprints with close access to ground handling and customs services. Existing businesses located in Cargo North include 3PL logistics providers and freight forwarders.
Terminal Precincts
The Terminal precinct is strongly related to the terminals and their passenger function. Its uses are focused on circulation and services for airport users: for example, hotels, parking buildings and rental cars. The Novotel Auckland Airport is in this precinct and includes a public square. The entire precinct will, in time, be connected to the business district by pedestrian links and our own bus services. The long-term masterplan will eventually see the domestic terminal located adjacent to the international terminal. This offers the opportunity to reduce traffic conflict and support the long-term growth of both international and domestic terminals.
