Costco

At Cato Bolam we are proud to have worked with our development partners in bringing the United States’ retail giant Costco to our shores, with its first store at Westgate Shopping Centre on track to open in August 2022.

Cato Bolam has provided civil engineering design for the drainage and pavement surfaces to serve the Costco development including works required on Gunton Drive to enable a complex entry into the site to operate safely, a large 800m³ stormwater detention system, stormwater and wastewater treatment devices, and a flood assessment to ensure safety in large storm events.

The Costco Auckland development will include a fuel station, tyre centre, food court, optometrist and hearing aid services along with groceries and homewares. It will cover approximately 14,000sqm and it is estimated it will bring 350 new full-time jobs for the North West Auckland community.

Costco is the world’s second largest retailer after Walmart, with over 273,000 employees and 803 store locations worldwide. Originally founded in Seattle in 1983, it had net sales of $163B in 2020.

Costco Auckland is located at 2 Gunton Drive, Westgate in the suburb of Massey and is part of the Westgate Shopping Centre, one of New Zealand’s largest master planned urbanisation projects and the hub for the large and rapidly expanding communities of Auckland’s North West.
