Takanini Village
Sitting at the heart of the Papakura district, often referred to as the gateway to Auckland’s rural heartland and just 20mins from the Auckland CDB, Takanini provides a unique blend of town and country lifestyles. Designated and already established as a growth node under the Auckland Regional Council Growth Strategy and with substantial amounts of land undergoing extensive residential development, Takanini’s growth has seen the Papakura District quickly become the second fastest growing district in the Auckland region. Takanini’s greenfield areas are expected to accommodate at least 20,000 new residents, including around 11,000 people in some 4,600 new homes by 2020.
Occupying a corner site on Walters Road, the main East-West link through Takanini and bridging a gap between the heavy Commercial 2 zone to the west and the leafy Residential streets of Addison to the east, Takanini Village will be ideally situated to take maximum advantage of Takanini’s significant residential growth.
The Village’s position also affords it easy access to numerous schools, several bus stops, rail connections, a proposed tertiary facility and to many of the community’s favourite amenities including Bruce Pulman Park. In 2012 the Papakura Local Board also identified the need for a new Park-and-Ride facility at Walters Rd in preparation for the continued growth of the area. This, as well as a new Public library has been proposed for Stage 2.
Takanini Village seeks to provide Takanini and the greater Papakura District with a vibrant, safe and family friendly town centre that caters for the ever growing needs of the surrounding community.
Anchored by The Warehouse and integrating a highly diverse offering of retail, food & beverage and a select amount of commercial office, Takanini Village will possess significant destinational strength while satisfying a need for quality convenience retail in an area traditionally dominated by large format operators. The end result will be a true community hub. A place where people can meet, shop, eat/drink and conduct their business on a daily basis.
With a great level of emphasis placed on urban design, strong pedestrian linkages, a comprehensive landscaping package and an abundance of free on-site parking, Takanini Village is poised to become a best in class development and a regional landmark the surrounding community feels proud to call their own.
Carefully designed to draw off The Warehouse as a major foot traffic anchor, the Village complements the neighboring large format offerings at the Southgate Home Centre and the Countdown Centre. Its central location just off Great South Road and bounded by developing residential suburbs ensures easy accessibility & vibrancy from everyday use.
