Hobsonville mega-lots ready for development
Four waterfront mega-lots in rapidly growing Hobsonville present a wide range of options for buyers looking to secure a site of scale for their next major development.
Known as Limeburners Bay, 4 Scott Rd features four available lots ranging from 4189sq m to 19,574sq m, which form part of a larger consented six-lot subdivision.
Prospective purchasers can acquire any combination of the available sites, Lots, 1, 4, 5, and 6, which are designed for intensive residential development totalling 315 units.
Lots 2 and 3 are not available for purchase.
The sites occupy one of the most desirable positions in Scott Point and enjoy views of the inner Waitemata Harbour, West Harbour Marina and Te Atatu Peninsula.
Located on the Hobsonville Peninsula, south of Catalina Bay, Scott Point is highly sought-after by developers who are free from the strict design requirements of the Hobsonville Point precinct, while being able to leverage off the array of amenities that Hobsonville Point provides.
Extensive upgrades to the surrounding motorway network mean Auckland’s CBD can be reached in 20 minutes off-peak while Auckland Airport is approximately 26 minutes away.
Colliers directors Craig Smith and Josh Coburn have been appointed to market the sites and are taking expressions of interest closing at 4pm on Thursday 16 June, unless sold prior.
■ Lot 1 spans 4189sq m and is zoned Residential–Mixed Housing Urban under the Auckland Unitary Plan and is consented for four separate buildings providing a total of 66 apartments.
■ Lot 4, situated in the middle of the development, measures 8661sq m and is zoned Residential–Mixed Housing Suburban and has been consented for three separate buildings with a total of 66 units.
■ The largest site is Lot 5, which fronts the esplanade reserve and measures 19,574sq m. The site is zoned Mixed Housing Suburban and Residential–Single House across two development zones and is consented for 82 units.
■ Also fronting the esplanade reserve, Lot 6 measures 15,586sq m and has two zones, Mixed Housing Urban and Single House, and will provide a total of 101 units across three development zones.
Smith says these landholdings make up one of the most desirable purchasing opportunities in the market. “There is significant potential on offer from these sites, which are set up perfectly for an intensive housing development that will help alleviate the notable lack of supply in the Auckland market.
“Scott Point shapes as an exceptional development area given the freedom available to developers who can put their own creative touches on their project and bring their vision to life.”
