88 Hobsonville Road

At 88 Hobsonville Road, industrial architecture is approached with a level of precision more often associated with bespoke commercial work. Crisp tilt-slab forms, high-stud warehouse volumes and a carefully resolved site plan come together to create a development that is robust in its construction, but considered in its architectural presence. Delivered by Waide Construction Ltd, the project comprises 15 commercial and industrial units across an 8,642m² site in Hobsonville. Each unit brings together warehouse, showroom, office and amenity spaces, creating a flexible framework for a range of business uses. Generous parking, full drive-around circulation and two vehicle crossings support efficient movement through the site, while electric roller door access and high-stud warehouse spaces ensure the development performs at a practical level. Tilt-slab construction was central to both the architectural expression and delivery of the project. The procurement, fabrication and installation of 424 precast panels required careful coordination across suppliers, subcontractors and the site team, with Waide managing the sequencing to maintain momentum throughout the build. Waide’s early contractor involvement also played an important role in the success of the project. By engaging during the design and consent process, the team was able to bring practical buildability insight to the development, helping to resolve coordination, structural integration and programme challenges before they reached site. The result is a commercial precinct that balances scale with clarity. Durable, functional and visually cohesive, 88 Hobsonville Road demonstrates the value of considered construction in shaping industrial environments that are made to work, and made to last.
