A highly visible property in the North Shore suburb of Torbay is being presented to the market for sale, offering prospective purchasers the opportunity to acquire an asset that can be configured in a range of ways.
Located at 168 Deep Creek Road, Torbay, the property has previously been utilised as a church with a supporting hall and has the capacity to provide immediate functionality as an educational or community facility.
Given the 2,565sq m site’s Residential – Mixed Housing Suburban zoning under the Auckland Unitary Plan, there is also scope for it to be repositioned for residential development, subject to the relevant consents.
The property is available with vacant possession, meaning the new occupant could move quickly to use the premises. Landholdings of this scale in Torbay seldom become available on the open market.

Torbay’s shopping village is nearby, and the surrounding area features residential housing as part of a well-established community environment. The area is also supported by a range of schools, parks, and public reserves, while neighbouring suburbs Long Bay and Waiake Beach offer popular recreational and lifestyle attractions.
Colliers Brokers Janet Marshall and Mike Ryan have been exclusively appointed to market the property for sale via deadline private treaty closing at 4pm on Tuesday 8 September, unless sold prior.
The existing church and separate hall provide approximately 594sq m of total floor area.
The main church facility includes a large congregation hall, offices, meeting rooms, kitchen facilities, amenities, and basement accommodation, while the secondary hall provides additional flexible space for community, educational, or similar uses.
The improvements are complemented by established grounds, landscaped lawn areas, storage sheds, and pedestrian access from Watea Road.
Marshall, Director of Sales and Leasing at Colliers, says the asset’s prominent road-front position makes it a highly visible offering with a commanding street presence.
“The improvements at the property mean it can be used immediately for a range of community-minded purposes, while there is also significant long-term potential and it could be utilised as a childcare centre,” Marshall says.
“Prospective purchasers considering acquiring the property to pursue a redevelopment will be drawn to the possibilities afforded by the zoning. The zoning supports a range of attached and detached housing forms, with up to three dwellings permitted as of right, subject to compliance with development standards.”
Ryan, Investment Sales Broker at Colliers, says the property offers buyers the chance to acquire a stake in a highly desirable coastal community that benefits from strong amenity and connectivity.
“Torbay village is home to a range of sought-after retail and service businesses, while the Northern Motorway is easily reached. There are also bus routes servicing the surrounding area,” Ryan says.
“Buyers of all kinds, ranging from owner-occupiers to investors and developers will have reasons to consider this compelling purchasing opportunity, and given the property is available with vacant possession, they may be able to enact their plans quickly if they wish.”
