Work Base Business Park

Work Base was developed to meet growing demand for flexible, small-format commercial and storage units, spaces that could support a mix of business, trade, and investment use while maintaining strong performance and durability.

Engaged for the full design and build, Homestead delivered a 43-unit business park, integrating design, civil works, and construction into a single, coordinated programme. Each unit was carefully planned to maximise usability within a compact footprint, featuring high-stud interiors, essential amenities, and the option for mezzanine expansion.

Given the density and mixed-use nature of the development, structural performance, fire separation, and acoustic control were critical. Homestead utilised over 290 precast concrete panels to deliver robust intertenancy and boundary solutions, ensuring long-term durability and compliance without compromising efficiency.

The result is a highly functional, future-proofed business park that offers flexibility for a wide range of users delivered with the consistency and performance required at scale.

"Gillies Group worked with Homestead on two projects to great success, which overlapped in programme seamlessly. The new accommodation at the NZCIS ‘The Village’ and our industrial units ‘Workbase’ were finished to a high quality and aesthetically look great. Both jobs like all had their issues but nothing too large for the Homestead project teams to overcome. From concept to consenting and completion Paulette was great and made the projects run smoothly."
