PROPERTY Spotlight on... Kunda Park

T he original Kunda Park building was a BBC Hardware store before being converted into storage, you can still see the timber sizes that were painted on the floor in some units. The centre was converted to storage in 2003 by Fort Knox Storage. Kennards acquired the centre on November 9th 2013 with occupancy at 70%. The centre has great exposure on the main road into Maroochydore between the Bruce Highway and Sunshine Motorway. Located in Kunda Park Industrial area with nine Self Storage competitors nearby mostly owner operated. We currently have 49 different sized units and 288 units throughout on the ground floor, upper levels, open and undercover. Kunda Park is about to undergo renovations to expand and will see the addition of driveway units and conver- sion of the undercover area into more storage units, this will see us increase to approximately 400+ units.

Since acquiring the centre in 2013 occupancy has grown to over 90% and merchandise has more than tripled in the last 12 months. Having nine competitors in the local area keeps us on our toes. Excellent internet presence and superior customer service sets us apart from the rest.

Geoff Turner is the current Centre Manager for Kunda Park. Adam Morrissey (Manager) and Ella Marriott (Assistant Manager) were previously responsible for the centre and are to be commended on their achievements. Kunda Park Team
