Update: Proposed Apartments at 236 Orakei Road

posted in: Latest News 0

In an earlier post, we noted a proposal to Auckland Council to erect a high-intensity apartment building on the existing Kings Plant Barn retail site at Orakei Point.

The structure proposed was an eight-level apartment block, comprisingĀ a basement car park, a car park at ground level and about 30 apartments on up to seven levels. As the grainy concept illustration of the view from Ngapipi Road above shows, this very large structure would have dominated – and altered – the surrounding landscape.

We now understand that this proposal has been withdrawn, having failed to meet a deadline to respond to certain questions, and that a new proposal is to be submitted.

Orakei Point has a long and controversial development history.

We await further news on this planned development with interest.
