Surrounded by key amenities including Westfield Albany, North Harbour Stadium, Massey University, and the Albany Leisure Centre, the property enjoys a premium position in one of Auckland's fastest-growing commercial and residential hubs.
Excellent connectivity via Greville Road, Oteha Valley Road, and the nearby Albany Park & Ride ensures easy access across Auckland.
Whether you're a developer, investor, or land banker, this strategically located site presents exceptional long-term potential in a high-growth North Shore location.
Key Features:
- 2,033m² (approximately) freehold land on a main arterial road, close to major amenities and transport links
- Constructed a road crossing for traffic approval and wastewater/stormwater connection near the boundary.
- Special Purpose Zone allowing for Medical Health Care, Childcare, Education & Training, Accommodation, Hospitality & Food Outlets, Commercial Offices & Specialized Storage (Subject to Council Approval)
- Had Resource Consent LUC60358774 issued in 2020 & Building Consent in 2022 for 3-level commercial building (1,709m²) mixes retail on the ground floor with commercial office and storage spaces above, needs to be reinstate now (Subject to council approval).

Site aspect
Falls ≈ north
A north-facing fall suits passive-solar orientation
Adjacent DOC / protected estate
Within 57 m of protected land — Albany Local Purpose Reserve
Adjacency to DOC or other protected areas can trigger RMA assessment matters, including effects on ecological values and public access.
Distances are from the parcel centroid to Topo 1:50k features (LINZ); site aspect is approximate, from the 1m LiDAR contours. Road frontage is a proxy — centreline intersection with parcel boundary, not a legal access measure. Confirm setbacks with a district-plan check before purchase.
