This property offers a high-density development footprint combined with an existing, character-filled assembly space.
Formerly utilised as a Buffalo Lodge (RAOB Hall), 1793A Great North Road provides a clear dual-pathway for residential developers, land-bankers, or community and faith-based organisations looking to secure a permanent footprint in a well-connected suburb.
Option 1 - residential development (984m² site in THAB zone) for developers looking to build on a primary transport corridor:
• Zoned Residential - Terraced Housing and Apartment Buildings (THAB), the highest-density purely residential category under the Auckland Unitary Plan
• A standard height limit of up to 16 metres (typically four to five storeys) allows for substantial vertical development
• Favourable development parameters, including 50% maximum building coverage and 70% maximum impervious area. Total unit yield is determined by design merit rather than rigid numerical density caps
• The existing hall structure offers potential utilisation or lease opportunities while resource and building consents are finalised
Option 2 - community and faith organisations (350m² existing hall) for groups seeking a dedicated, established facility:
• Constructed in the late 1950s, the wide-span community hall structure provides an open-plan layout well-suited for worship, fellowship, and large meetings
• Positioned directly on an arterial road, the site offers the prominent visibility and public transport access typically required for community facility consenting
• Purchasing this site secures a substantial asset underpinned by high-density residential zoning, protecting the organisation's long-term capital
Avondale is a key focus area under Auckland Council’s urban regeneration programme. Ongoing local investment includes the new Te Hono library and community hub, alongside several master-planned housing projects. Located within 10 kilometres of the CBD, the property has direct access to the Northwestern Motorway (SH16) and the Waterview Connection (SH20).
High-frequency bus routes run past the front boundary, and Avondale train station is a short walk away. The site sits in proximity to the Avondale town centre, local supermarkets, recreational parks, and established schools, including Avondale College.
