We have been able to assemble a site of scale that can deliver well designed homes and commercial spaces right in the centre of Avondale,” says Mr Carter. These sites are part of a programme of residential development in central Avondale which has been supported through strategic land acquisition. “Through collaborating with our partners such as Kāinga Ora, we can deliver an outcome for this neighbourhood that otherwise would not have been possible. Following recent negotiations to purchase the adjacent site at 10 Racecourse Parade from Kāinga Ora – Homes and Communities, Eke Panuku has been able to take both to the market as one larger site allowing for a significant development opportunity. The first, known locally as ‘the 3 Guys site’ has been bare for many years. The 1.58-hectare development block comprises two large sites at 6 and 10 Racecourse Parade which Eke Panuku has sold together. A great example of this is the Marutūāhu-Ockham Group Aroha development further down Great North Road with 117 apartments due for completion early next year.” “Since launching the high-level project plan in 2017, Eke Panuku has been making steady progress delivering on this plan and bringing all the differing elements of urban regeneration together to ready this neighbourhood for change.
To enable this and truly support the community of Avondale a well thought-out plan, supported by investment, and strong partnerships is required. With easy access to transport links, the development of this central site is destined to offer more than 500 homes directly adjoining the future site of Auckland Council’s eagerly anticipated multimillion-dollar investment in a new town square, multi-purpose library and community facility, as well as provide new retail and commercial premises along the site’s Great North Road edge.Īs the city’s urban regeneration agency, Eke Panuku is tasked to lead the regeneration of Avondale enabling homes, community spaces and better transport connections.Įke Panuku Priority Location Director - West, John Carter, says “Avondale is a suburb with a huge amount of potential. Eke Panuku Development Auckland has signed a sale and development agreement for a 1.58-hectare development block in Avondale town centre to Marutūāhu-Ockham Group, marking a significant milestone for the regeneration of this vibrant city fringe neighbourhood.
