Double Dwelling + Development? YIP!
Positioned on 1,023 m2, this development site presents opportunities that you need to consider. As per the proposed 2024 district e-plan (WCC), this section is earmarked as High Density Residential Zone, which will provide plenty of opportunity to build your dream development.

The site is conveniently located within a short drive to parks, shops, schools and pretty much everything Tawa and Porirua has to offer. Plus, there is a bus stop nearby. This development site could be your next project!

Cashflow and lending can be an issue with most development sites, but on this site there are currently two dwellings. One appears to be the original house, the other is a newer dwelling. The property is in a double income situation, and both properties are rented out and managed by a professional property management company (both sets of tenants have indicated they are keen to stay on). So whilst you are planning your big development, you can work with this opportunity.

It does appear the front house does not have the final Code of Compliance certificate, and this sale will be sold 'as is, where is'.

Due to the unique circumstances around this property, we are welcoming your interest and offers.

1577m2 Prime Land? YIP!
Perfect opportunity to position your development project, front and centre on the main road of Newlands. With a total of 1577m2 prime Newlands land, this will suit all sorts of projects and developments. Currently zoned commercial, it gives you opportunity to combine residential dwellings with shop frontage.

With the right approvals, consents and planning, this would be a great spot for a dairy, café, small retail, professional service, laundromat, takeaway, beauty salon... OR you could go for bigger commercial options like a day care, kindergarten, preschool, medical facility, large retail, pharmacy, warehouse and so much more. Maybe, if possible, it would be a great spot for a cheeky, competitive petrol station!

**Due to large volume, internal photos and walk through video available on request.**

Newlands Road is the main road leading down to the motorway on-ramp, there is a bus service right by this property and adjacent to established mechanics and petrol station. Further up the road are the local schools, more shops, supermarket, and other religious organisations. If it is of any interest to your business, there is also a very large gym, motel and bus depot down the road.

Currently on the property are two commercial properties, a temple room, and a large family home that has been extensively converted to house multiple people for the temple. There are outstanding consents and notices to fix on these structures - so the property will be sold 'as is, where is'. With the right skills, knowledge and vision, it is possible to renovate and make this into a do-up project.

The temple has set plans to upsize and move - and we welcome your interest.

Tender closes 12:00pm Wednesday 13th August 2025 (unless sold prior)

59 Te Puia Drive, Aotea
One Of The Best? YIP!
We've seen a lot of properties in Aotea, and to us, this one stands out a little more than the rest. What I love most is the layout has been thoughtfully curated with family living in mind, rather than a typical mass subdivision plan.

If you run a home office, that's covered with a downstairs room near the front door (even has a sink; perfect for beauty/salon services). If you have kids, you've got two separated living spaces. If you love to entertain, the kitchen, dining, living spaces all flow out to the sheltered courtyard space. And if you've got an adult child that you need a safe distance from, then there is a big sleepout in the backyard.

When we look through properties, you can tell a lot from looking at the build. Here, you will find small touches that really make this house a home - tasteful light fittings, extra thick kitchen benchtops, a special place for the spa pool, plugs in all the right places and everyone loves a barn style door!

At the end of the day, when you are sick of the family and just want some alone time, the master bedroom is super-sized for your peaceful enjoyment. It is so big you could even fit an office corner inside. Normally, no one reads this far into property descriptions, so if you've made it this far - give us a call.
