Oneoneroa set to break ground on Stage 2
Ngati Whatua O rakei Properties is breaking ground on the second stage of its North Shore development, Oneoneroa, with construction set to start in May.
Oneoneroa, launched late in 2019, is the first major Tamaki Makaurau residential property development headed by a local hapu .
A part of Nga ti Wha tua O ra kei Whai Rawa, Ngati Whatua O rakei Properties, and all Whai Rawa entities, exists to protect and grow the assets of Ngati Wha tua O ra kei and deliver positive outcomes for wha nau.
Their land holdings in Oneoneroa include four main blocks with a total land area of 20 hectares to be developed in four stages with an ultimate completion date set for 2022.
Following the sale of its first 13 homes in 2020 and the sale of four homes off the plans released late last year, the hapu¯ development company will move forward with its second stage of 16 homes (Stage 2) to be built on the corner
of Eversleigh and Lowe Street in Belmont.
Neil Donnelly, General Manager of Property Development for Ngati Whatua O rakei Properties, says interest in Oneoneroa has exceeded expectations and the company hope to have more homes available to purchase off the plans soon.
‘‘This is an exciting milestone for Oneoneroa as we break ground on these brand-new homes. The response to the first stage and our recent sale of four homes is a testament to the opportunity the Oneoneroa location and community offers home buyers,’’ he said.
‘‘There is a strong appetite for
low maintenance, purpose built and stylish homes in this neighbourhood. We hope to have nine additional homes for purchase off the plans (Stage 1F) by next month for those eager to join this thriving community.’’
Stage 1F will offer a combination of nine two-, three- and fourbedroom homes with access to
local parks and beaches, in close proximity to supermarkets and schools.
Ngati Whatua O rakei Properties is guided by foundational values of sustainability and kaitiakiatanga, which has driven the initiatives to revive the original name of the location and gift an e-bike for each household.
