500 + homes planned for development in Avondale

Melanie Earley Reporter from Western Leader

Kia ora neighbours, more than 500 houses will be built in Avondale, replacing a vacant lot and 42 occupied Kāinga Ora homes.

The 1.58 hectare block on Avondale’s Racecourse Parade will be developed by Marutūāhu-Ockham Group, after Eke Panuku Development Auckland signed a sale and development agreement.

The development block includes two sites on the street. One has been vacant for years, while the other has 42 Kāinga Ora houses on it.

Eke Panuku said it had negotiated the purchase of the second site with Kāinga Ora and had agreed to settle in 2024 to give the agency time to relocate the people living there.

What do you think about the development? Feel free to discuss below.
