Formerly known as Flat Bush Town Centre, the new plan by Todd Property
Group Ltd promises to be unique. The master plan has been finalised and
its staged construction is likely to begin in the first half of
2013. The town centre will cover 19 hectares of land on the eastern side
of the Ormiston Bridge and will be developed into an integrated town
centre complete with housing, retail outlets, commercial property and
community facilities including an aquatic centre and library. The
project is estimated to carry a $500 million price tag and is expected
to be completed between 2019 and 2022. Todd Property managing director
Evan Davies says when finished the town centre will look completely
different to other recently developed areas in Auckland. The greenfields
development means instead of building around existing structures and
infrastructure a whole new plan could be embarked upon. Its a unique
opportunity to set a new benchmark, he says. The development will
include between 500 and 700 medium density houses likely to be priced in
the $500,000 to $600,000 range. The model of vast structures surrounded
by a sea of carparks is no longer what people are asking for, Mr Davies
says. Well attempt to create a version of the old neighbourhood
centres scattered around Auckland it will be a 21st century version of
the Mt Eden village. I personally love the sound of that.
