THE $30 million Motibhai Business Park project sets a platform for the group to strategically position itself for all its diverse business operations as well as future expansions, says Motibhai Group executive director Bhupendra Patel.
Mr Patel who is also overseeing the project revealed that the work on the project was progressing well with the near-completion of the massive warehouse and cold-storage facilities for Burger King.
He said at the moment their warehouses were scattered all over the place from Ba up to Nadi and the new complex would have a centralised operation to make day-to-day operations much smoother and efficient for the company.
The Motibhai Business Park is located at West Rd in Legalega Subdivision along the Queens Rd in Nadi.
“I can proudly confirm that our centralised distribution centre for the Western Division and cold-storage facilities for BK will be up and running very soon,” Mr Patel said.
“Our reserve water storage facilities which has a capacity to hold 425,000 litres of water is also complete together with the fire sprinkler system for the entire building.
“All internal pallet racking system has been installed and we are just waiting on some minor works to get the final clearance to move in.”
In a statement Mr Patel confirmed that he was optimistic that the second phase of the project which was the warehouse for cold and dry storage should be operational in a few months’ time.
He said the third phase of the project which was the construction of a new office complex adjacent to the massive distribution centre was progressing well also.
“The office complex which sits next to the warehouse is half-way through and should be ready by the end of this year.
“It will be a one-stop-shop comprising of executive and administration offices, warehouse, showroom, joinery and mechanical workshops, visual department, staff canteen and amenities with cold storage facilities to cater for Burger King Fiji operations,” he said.
