Following the successful completion of Fonterra Brands NZ (FBNZ) new cool store in Penrose, Auckland in 2022, TwentyTwo has been engaged to support FBNZ acquire a new South Island Distribution Centre in Christchurch.
Fonterra Brands New Zealand (FBNZ) is the consumer goods arm of the Fonterra business. Its current Hornby South operation handles the distribution of export products and fresh milk and other products across the South Island.
FBNZ wishes to explore a number of tenure options to best meet its operational requirements. Its preference is to own a site (greenfield and/or brownfield). However, it will consider a leased option as an alternative. The possible outcomes include:
- FBNZ enters into a partnering agreement to allow a new facility to be developed to FBNZ’s specifications and to either purchase the land/facility on pre-agreed terms on completion or enter into a long-term lease on agreed terms
- FBNZ purchases a piece of land and develops a new facility
- FBNZ purchases or leases an existing cool store or suitable building for refurbishment/customisation
FBNZ’s requirements must be met by a single site operation with the objective of FBNZ being operational by Q3 2026 at the latest.
The deadline for this RFI is no later than 4pm, 27 January 2023.
