The region has a number of industrial and commercial zones offering diverse opportunities for new businesses to become established.

Both the major urban areas of Napier and Hastings have thriving commercial centres offering a choice of office space in terms of size and location. Whether you want views across the Pacific Ocean, prefer rural landscapes overlooking orchards and vineyards, or seek a cityscape, there are options for everyone.

The smaller population centres of the region, Wairoa in the North and Waipawa and Waipukurau  to the South, also offer unique commercial and industrial land opportunities of varying scale. These areas have progressive local authorities who are willing to get alongside prospective investors and work with them to achieve a positive outcome.
