The site is approximately five minutes from State Highway 1 providing direct access north to the CBD and south to Drury and Hamilton. It is also only 2.5km from the Takanini train station, offering future residents connectivity and further transport options.
Colliers Directors Josh Coburn, Luke McGill, and Blair Peterken have been exclusively appointed to market the site for sale and are taking expressions of interest with the deadline closing at 4pm on Thursday 27 November, unless sold prior.
Coburn, Director of Site Sales and Capital Markets at Colliers, says Grove Road is serviced with stormwater and wastewater connections in place, and the subject site sits adjacent to the stormwater wetland reserve.
“The proposed resource consent offers a diverse range of housing options to suit different lifestyles. All homes have been designed as two-level, three-bedroom dwellings, with duplex and stand-alone options allowing for internal garaging,” Coburn says.
McGill, Director of Industrial at Colliers, says the surrounding area offers residents a wide array of amenities, including essential services and schools.
“Papakura town centre and Takanini village have supermarkets, cafes, and other retail businesses while there is a collection of schooling options near the subject location catering from primary through to secondary,” McGill says.
“Adjoining the property is a newly created wetland reserve, including a walking track, which offers a beautiful easterly outlook. Recreational facilities such as Bruce Pulman Park and Ray Small Park are also nearby.”
Peterken, Director of Capital Markets at Colliers, says Papakura is one of the fastest-growing areas in Auckland with multiple housing developments and infrastructure investment making the area more accessible and attractive to homeowners.
“Data from Infometrics highlights the Papakura Local Board area’s population has grown at a much quicker pace than the New Zealand average and the population expanded by another 2.7 per cent in the past year,” Peterken says.
“During the past five years the average rate of growth is 4.5 per cent compared to 1 per cent in New Zealand. The area has a youthful population indicating the appeal of Papakura for young families who have benefitted from the increased access to services, transport, and recreational spaces.
“This site offers developers the chance to acquire a landholding that can be transformed into a major development in a high-growth location.”
