·The Milford Shopping Centre (Milford Centre) is undergoing an extensive redevelopment to turn what was once a tired, neglected shopping mall into an attractive, upmarket, mixed-use retail and living environment that complements and supports a vibrant and vital Milford Town Centre. The transformation is designed to provide a stimulus for business and employment opportunities in Milford and will widen the diversity of housing choices available to local and other residents. The first redevelopment stage - an extensive interior refurbishment of the existing area - is complete and visitors to the Centre can now shop and and socialise in an upmarket, lively and sophisticated boutique style environment. Stage Two has consent to proceed and Stage three plans are underway.
STAGE TWO:
The retail extension and integration of residential living is the next step in creating an attractive, innovative and modern mixed-use centre in the heart of Milford village. Stage two of the development will increase the existing retail and service component at the Milford Centre by another 21% (2590m2) and add a residential component. Fifteen three-level luxury townhouses will be built on the corner of Milford Road and Ihumata Road, a new underground car park and rooftop car park will be added and the street and residential boundaries will be professionally landscaped. Each townhouse will feature three bedrooms and have a total floor area of up to 181m2. The exterior cladding will include a combination of stone and pre-cast concrete, aluminium joinery for windows and French doors, wooden shutter treatments, glass and concrete balustrading and membrane and ply for the roofs. This design is consistent with the high quality aspirations attached to the entire Centre development. Resource consent for Stage Two has been granted.
STAGE THREE:
The third stage of the Milford centre transformation involves building medium-rise luxury apartments above the existing Milford Centre along with additional rooftop car parking. These apartments will have impressive urban and sea views and generous balconies. Thoughtful and careful design means the residential towers are located in areas where they will have the least visual impact on the surrounding area. For instance the highest residential tower (Omana Road South) is constructed on the lowest point of the site. Up to 235 high quality apartments will be constructed within three medium-rise residential towers of varying heights, in three defined locations:
Omana Road South: 16 storeys above street level
Omana Road North: A tower of three varying heights up to eight storeys above street level
Milford Road: A tower with four varying heights up to 11 storeys above street level
A rooftop car park of up to seven levels.
Milford Centre Limited is seeking a change to the North Shore Section of the Auckland District Plan to allow additional flexibility in order to proceed with this third development stage. Subsequent resource consent applications will then be required to enable Auckland Council to assess building design and construction details.
