Landlord with no tenant?

To Landlords of empty retail spaces. Yourself and New Zealand need your building to be tenanted. You have valuable space that needs to be used for a productive business that will create commerce and jobs for the local population. Some of the streets around our country look terrible with the amount of empty shops right in the middle of the CBD. I live in Tauranga and our central city is almost a ghost town with a quick count telling me that well in excess of 30 retail premises are vacant. Some are food grade and ex restaurants, some are great for mixed businesses, some not so good. But one thing they all have in common is that they are all empty. What is the effect on you as a landlord?

• You are paying rates.
• You are paying insurance.
• You are paying maintenance.
• You are paying accountants fees.
• Maybe you are paying interest of a mortgage.
• And maybe all this is being subsidized by you working elsewhere like so many small tenancy owners in New Zealand.

What is the effect on the community?

• The shops either side are affected by lack of supporting businesses.
• The streets appearance is affected by the empty look.
• Shoppers lose interest in a street that has too many empty spaces.
• The public suffers because there is no business offering to look at.

You may have had an agent listing this property for a year of more, but not found a tenant because you are just one of many. In the last year I have travelled all over New Zealand looking at the same situation we have in Tauranga replicated everywhere from Kaitaia to Wellington to Westport and more. TIME FOR A NEW APPROACH !

1. For a one-off fee of $100 plus gst you can list it right here.
2. Take some good photographs.
3. Fill out all the information as to what your shop is suitable for.
4. Tell us all about the location, the street and the city.
5. Let’s get really motivated and try and find you a tenant.

As part of the listing process I will be sharing these advertisements on social media as well. This site is all about doing good and helping New Zealand recover. This is not just a business…it’s a mission.
