Up to 116 new houses could be on the cards for one of the last greenfield developments in the middle of Warkworth.
The almost six-hectare block lies between Shoesmith Street, the Mahurangi River and Belvedere Place, which is off View Road, and is on the market with Albany-based Mars Realty. They say resource consent has been lodged for “approximately 116 dwellings with a varied product mix”.
The block is zoned for urban mixed housing in Auckland Council’s Unitary Plan, which would allow for high density residential development up to three storeys high.
This is the second time the sloped site has been put up for sale in recent years. It was previously marketed as being suitable for a potential townhouse, apartment or retirement village development that could accommodate up to 300 separate dwellings.
The land adjoins a conservation area to the south and the riverside walkway into town to the east, and sits between Warkworth Primary School and Mahurangi College.
