The site is located just 4km from the city centre in an already sought after suburb which is well-connected to public transport and has a wealth of amenities within close walking distance. This makes it an ideal location for a mixed-use development.

The consent is for the construction of four buildings by private development partners, including 102 apartments, ground-level retail space and more than 100 basement car parks.

This site provides an excellent opportunity to attract private investment and create a high-quality housing and retail development in this popular city-fringe neighbourhood.

Panuku has worked closely with the council’s Urban Design Panel and Heritage Advisory Panel to refine the design and ensure it satisfies the heritage protection criteria for the area.

As the proposed scheme is within a character area and exceeds the permitted height limit in places, Panuku has requested that the Resource Consent application be publicly notified. This means people get the chance to have their say on our proposed scheme, with the final decision resting with an Independent Duty Commissioner.

Part of the role of Panuku is to rejuvenate town centres. We use under-performing land and buildings that Auckland Council owns, attract private investment and together we unlock their potential to better utilise the property.

The Dominion and Valley roads site is a great example of land that could be better utilised as quality housing and retail development that will contribute towards easing Auckland’s housing shortage and add to the local neighbourhood’s economy.

Activities such as these relate directly to some of the outcomes and transformational shifts outlined in the Auckland Plan such as radically improving the quality of urban living and creating an Auckland of prosperity and opportunity.
