THE AVONDALE ADVANTAGE
If you’re looking for a solid commercial property investment or to establish a thriving new business, Avondale Mainstreet may tick all your boxes.
If you don't live here, you may not be aware what a great place Avondale is. Seldom do you find a community that is so identified with its neighbourhood – residents have a great sense of ownership of Avondale and are eager to proudly support local endeavour.
Sitting on the edge of the inner city, real estate is changing hands at a rate of knots and younger families with higher disposable incomes are flooding into the area. Coupled with a global movement towards hyper-localism, the Avondale Community is primed to spend money in the mainstreet - on businesses providing modern, high-quality offerings.
Te Hono Library & Community Hub
Eke Panuku Developments is building a new Avondale Library and Community Hub that begins work in late 2024. The building will go a large way to modernise that of the town centre and bring more vibrancy into the centre of town. It is due for completion in 2026.
The Manawa Complex
In July 2022, Eke Panuku Developments announced the signing of a sale and development agreement with the Marutūāhu-Ockham Group for a 1.58-hectare development block in Avondale town centre.
The development of the central site in Avondale, known to locals as “the old 3 Guys site” will create up to 750 homes, as well as provide new retail and commercial premises along the site’s Great North Road edge.
The plans propose eight buildings of differing heights and configurations, featuring sustainable homes at a minimum of a 6 Homestar rating. The plans will include integrated outdoor spaces for residents and a public walkway joining to the new town square.
Nordic Aparments
Plaza Developments’ Nordic Apartments at 1843 Great North Road will house 36 one, two and three-bedroom apartments. The development is currently on hold.
Avondale Racecourse
Further to the new Racing Act 2022, that recommends changes to the horse racing industry, the Avondale Jockey Club has been identified as a site that will be sold off to help fund the broader racing community.
Most probably, the bulk of this site will sold for housing, but we hope a significant portion will be retained to assist with creating an even more vibrant Avondale community with a park area, sports fields, possibly a new swimming pool, a playground etc. Watch this space!
Locality
Avondale is a Central Auckland suburb just 9km from the bustling and vibrant CBD. It offers excellent public transport options with a train station just a few minutes’ walk from the mainstreet and a thoroughfare for the major bus routes.
Its Rosebank commercial/industrial district with 500 odd businesses offers employment opportunities for some 8000 workers and it is nestled between the SH20 and SH16 motorway routes for ready access to the city and airport.
With the anticipated City Rail Link opening in 2026, travel to the city will take as little as 7 minutes, so the accessibility of our suburb cannot be underestimated.
Avondale Business Association works closely with the Whau Local Board to boost the economic development of our suburb Avondale.
Avondale is at a tipping point; quickly becoming a vibrant hub. Now is a great time to open a business here. If you are looking for a space to suit your needs, please call us as we have relationships with building owners who don't always wish to advertise publicly.
The business association is also able to offer incentives for moving for select businesses.
We look forward to hearing from you.
