| A new commercial development near Gulf Harbour’s marina will open its doors next month. North Shore development company Hughes & Tuke is putting the finishing touches to Gulf Harbour Plaza, the first new commercial development in the area for nearly a decade. |
The 1500sq m retail and office two-storey development is 200m from the marina village.
There are eight ground floor retail units and about 650sq m of office space, which is divided across six units, ranging in size from 86sq m to 123sq m.
Sitting between Wentworth College’s hall and gymnasium, Gulf Harbour Plaza’s three front office units have views over the marina and two of the three rear units have their own external decks.
Garry Barclay, Hughes & Tuke’s sales manager, says they saw a need for a small commercial development in the Gulf Harbour area.
“Our research showed it was always going to be a flyer,” says Mr Barclay. “Our faith was justified when the retail units sold quickly.”
The eight ground floor retail units have been sold by Colliers International North Shore and Barfoot & Thompson, Whangaparaoa.
To give prospective buyers an idea of the office space, a finished unit has been fitted out as a display suite.
“The offices are being targeted at businesses coming out of a home environment and the finished office will give new owners an idea of what can be achieved with a corporate look and feel,” says Mr Barclay.
Gulf Harbour is one of Rodney District Council’s fastest growing areas. The northern motorway extension has opened up the Hibiscus Coast and it is predicting more than 34,000 people will live in the Whangaparaoa area by 2036.
The company’s projects over the past couple of years have included Rosedale Office Park in Albany, a substantial heritage conversion in Dominion Road, Auckland, a large-scale industrial unit development in Wiri and a just completed office park at Ellerslie.
