In the mid-2000s, Russell had a vision to develop a new area of the city into a thriving economic hub where businesses could service their existing client base and potentially find a new market.

With this in mind he knocked on the door of the Invercargill A & P Society and offered to purchase their showgrounds, which would become the Business Park. Situated close to Invercargill’s CBD, he recognised it as the perfect location for expanding businesses to make their mark and it has now become the biggest commercial development in Invercargill’s history.

With Stage One well underway, 61 sections out of 62 have already been sold and many have completed development. Businesses that have re-located to the area have already reported increases in trade with many taking on new staff to deal with the boom in business.

For many years Invercargill has faced the question of where to next? The city centre lacks the space for existing businesses to expand or for national and international business wanting to tap into the Invercargill market. With increasing restrictions being put in place to ensure buildings are up to earthquake standards, the Russell Cunningham business property hub is the new place for Invercargill business owners to call home.

Every detail of the park has been planned to be unique and service the businesses in the area as best as possible. All sections are fully serviced with the latest infrastructure behind the footpaths to ensure they will not need to be dug up in order to access required services. Distinctive street lights have been selected to add a point of difference and access points have been carefully designed to improve traffic flow - it’s these simple things that make all the difference.
