Developer Rick Martin of K Rd Investments has yet to make a decision on whether or not to proceed with his plans to build an eight storey ‘vertical retirement village’ in front of the Nautilus apartments in Tamariki Avenue, central Orewa.
Earlier this year, K Rd Investments applied to Auckland Council for resource consent to demolish the three-storey Tamariki House (now called Coast HQ) and construct a multilevel, mixed-use building to be known as ‘The Ivy’. The proposed building includes retail on the ground floor and 73 apartments above.
The site is zoned Business-Town Centre and has a 27-metre allowable height limit. The proposed new building is around 29.9m tall (including the roof) which is one reason that consent is required.
In August, Auckland Council decided to publicly notify the resource consent application, giving the community a say.
However, the developer/applicant is required to agree to this or withdraw the application.
Last week Martin had no comment to make and Council advised no decision was forthcoming as yet.
There are no time constraints on when the applicant must make a decision.
