Building a 5000sqm national distribution centre within months of a major earthquake & aftershock sequence shows vision, commitment & resilience. Portlink Park, a Luxon client, handed over to Kathmandu its brand new facility at a very special event.
Christchurch based retailer Kathmandu is preparing to move into it new national distribution centre at Portlink Industrial Park.
David Mortimer of Arcus Developments commented how “It is a great name to have as our first design build.” Kathmandu signed a lease in May 2011, with the site’s proximity to the February 2011 earthquake not being a concern as long as the building was built to the required standards. The distribution centre exceeds the new seismic building standards.
This kind of progressive vision, commitment to producing a quality end product and flexible resilience has proved a winning combination for both Kathmandu, Arcus and Portlink.
Let’s hope other brave visionaries will soon follow suit!
