A strategically positioned landholding in one of Auckland’s fastest-growing areas is available for purchase.
Located at 2086 East Coast Road in Silverdale, the site spans 9.018ha and is zoned Business – General Business Zone under the Auckland Unitary Plan.
The property features a ‘Silverdale 2 Precinct’ overlay that supports recreation and entertainment-based activities.
The site is nestled between Snowplanet and Auckland Adventure Park, while Silverdale’s rapidly expanding commercial precinct that includes a Bunnings and a Pak’nSave among a host of other well-known retail offerings is nearby.

The Hibiscus Coast bus station, The Botanic retirement village, and Silverdale’s busy industrial hub are also only a few minutes away.
Neighbouring suburbs of Milldale and Millwater are both growing rapidly with thousands of new homes being built or under construction. More established residential locations such as Orewa and Red Beach are also close by.
Motorway access is a key feature of the subject site and the vast North Shore suburb of Albany is about 15 minutes away, while Auckland CBD can be reached in 25 minutes in off-peak conditions.
Colliers Directors Shoneet Chand and Matt Prentice have been exclusively appointed to market the property for sale via deadline private treaty closing at 4pm on Wednesday 28 May, unless sold prior.
Historically, the property was home to the Auckland Luge and features sloping terrain that provides expansive views over the surrounding area. Access to the site is facilitated by a large right of way over adjacent land, offering a formed entry point.
Regarding the zoning, the Silverdale 2 Precinct applies to approximately 47ha of land located between East Coast Road and the motorway (State Highway 1). The precinct is bounded by the motorway to the west, East Coast Road to the east, and the Snowplanet site to the south.
Chand, Director of Investment Sales at Colliers, says the property’s unique zoning presents a compelling opportunity for the future development of this prime site.
“As outlined in the Auckland Unitary Plan, the purpose of the Silverdale 2 Precinct is to facilitate the development of an entertainment cluster. Activities are limited to entertainment and recreation activities and accessory activities,” Chand says.
“Given the site’s excellent connectivity there is scope for a developer to potentially pursue various commercial or mixed-use developments, subject to the appropriate council consents.
“The landholding is highly visible from the motorway as the land slopes up significantly from the motorway to East Coast Road ensuring it benefits from significant exposure to passing traffic meaning future developments will have the potential for eye-catching signage or construction.”
Prentice, Director of Sales and Leasing at Colliers, says the landholding’s proximity to surrounding landmarks and rapidly emerging residential subdivisions means there will be a growing need for more entertainment or commercial activity in the area.
“With popular attractions such as Snowplanet, Auckland Adventure Park, and the Megazone Entertainment Centre all surrounding the subject site, it is part of a hub that draws visitors from across the city,” Prentice says.
“We have a motivated vendor who has advised us to present all offers.”
