Spotlight on Local Innovation: The Workshops Matakana

Just a stone’s throw from the heart of the village and nestled beside the tranquil Matakana River, The Workshops is an exciting new addition to our region’s commercial landscape. This premium light-industrial development offers a unique opportunity for small business owners, creatives, and investors to stake a claim in one of the last remaining zoned sites within the Matakana village boundary.

Purpose-Built for the Modern Makert

Comprising 52 architecturally designed, freehold units ranging in size from 46 m² to 151 m², The Workshops caters to a diverse range of commercial uses, storage, trade showrooms, e-commerce fulfilment, boutique production, or creative studios. With 6–8 metre stud heights, mezzanine options, and polished concrete floors, each unit is built for flexibility and flair.

Constructed with high-quality tilt-slab concrete and textured board-and-batten exteriors, the development mirrors the rustic elegance of Matakana’s rural charm right down to the pitched roofs and timber finishes that harmonise with the surrounding village aesthetic.

Modern Amenities, Thoughtfully Delivered

Each unit includes a kitchenette and, in most cases, a bathroom. There’s on-site visitor parking, dedicated bays for each unit, container drop-off areas, and a 24/7 monitored CCTV system. Fast fibre broadband, 3-phase power capability, and a building manager are all part of the package. A riverside café provides the perfect meeting point for owners, tenants, and guests alike.

And for those with an eye on convenience? A dedicated boat-wash bay sits ready for weekenders and local adventurers.

Prime Position, Natural Appeal

With direct walkable access to the Matakana Farmers’ Market, boutique shops, cinema, and cafés, The Workshops delivers more than workspace and offers a lifestyle. Several units back onto a peaceful riverfront reserve, with the added bonus of private decks and courtyard views for select offerings.

This connection to both, the community and nature makes The Workshops a standout for those seeking inspiration alongside functionality.

Prices for entry-level units (approx. 47 m²) start from NZ $625,000 + GST, with larger premium spaces reaching up to NZ $1.98 million + GST. Leasing options are also available, with flexible layouts ideal for emerging ventures or expanding operations.
