Kiwi Property gets approval for Drury development

Auckland Council has announced the approval of Kiwi Property’s Drury Private Plan Change application, paving the way for the creation of a major Green Star Community.

The successful application will unlock development at Kiwi Property’s 53-hectare site, which is set to be the location for the new Drury Town Centre, as outlined in the Drury-Opaheke Structure Plan. The company intends to create a thriving mixed-use community that will become a hub for the additional 60,000 people who are expected to call the area home over the next 25 years. Drury will be a transit-oriented development that brings together retail, office and residential, all within easy walking distance of each other and the new Drury Central Train Station, scheduled to open in 2025.

An earthworks consent has been issued by Auckland Council and this work is now underway, with the potential for construction of residential homes and large format retail to begin as early as 2023, pending funding.

Kiwi Property Chief Executive Officer, Clive Mackenzie, said Drury was poised to be a transformative project for the company.

“Kiwi Property’s strategy centers on the creation of connected mixed-use communities in key growth nodes. Drury will be the location of the third Auckland Metropolitan Centre in our portfolio, alongside Sylvia Park and New Lynn, offering an exciting range of future possibilities. The development is expected to unlock thousands of houses and new jobs, and generate significant value for the company for years to come."
