Tenders closed this week on a large 14,600sq m commercial
property and building in Dunedin owned by Fonterra.
Fonterra is moving its dry warehousing operations to the
former Fisher and Paykel Appliances site it purchased in
Mosgiel for $20 million by October, prompting the dairy firm
to sell buildings and a five-year lease on two Kitchener St
sites, on land owned by Port Otago subsidiary, Chalmers
Property.
A Colliers International spokesman said yesterday the company
was still working "with several interested parties" over a
potential sale.
The property was close to the Otago Regional Council's
proposed new office site and could be included in the Dunedin
City Council's harbour-side development,Fonterra already
owned the Mosgiel site and had leased it back to Appliances
until the end of June.
The multimillion-dollar project would allow products to be
railed to Port Chalmers.
