Ōrewa’s latest retirement village making progress
The original scheme for the retirement village, which later had five more units added.
Construction of a retirement village in northern Ōrewa has moved a step closer.
Coastal Properties Ōrewa Forest Glen, the developer of the village, applied for building consent to start work on the project at the end of last year.
The developer has resource consent to build a 114-unit village on the 1.9ha site which extends over 25-35 Annalise Place and 488 and 496C Hibiscus Coast Highway. The blocks are three and four storeys high.
The land borders Nukumea Stream and Alice Eaves’ Bush Reserve.
Development progress on the Coast
Thirty-four homes are planned for the former bus depot at 188 Centreway Road, Ōrewa. Project manager Nigel Williams says that the concept for the 0.5ha site involves a combination of apartments, shops and villas. He says resource consent has been granted and around 85 percent have been sold off the plans. Work is expected to begin soon, subject to final Auckland Council signoffs, Mr Williams says.
The 84.5ha Ara Hills development on the western side of the Grand Drive motorway exit in northern Ōrewa, is making progress. There are six stages to this development, with a total of 575 homes consented to be built. Construction is underway for Stage 1, 142 lots (pictured), and this stage is already 90 percent sold. Developer A V Jennings expects to release Stage 2, around 70 lots, mid-year.
