A strategically located site with favourable zoning in Henderson is being presented to the market for the first time in 20 years and offers buyers the chance to acquire a versatile landholding that could be used for a wide variety of development options.
9 Hulme Place, Henderson is a 14,396sq m freehold site that is zoned Business – Mixed Use Zone under the Auckland Unitary Plan.
Sitting 420m from the Sunnyvale railway station and 2km from the WestCity Waitakere shopping centre, the property enjoys favourable proximity to a number of key amenities. Auckland’s CBD can be reached in approximately 25 minutes in off-peak conditions.
The site has dual road frontage and access points from Hulme Road and Aetna Place providing convenience for future occupants and adds further flexibility to the development opportunities that await.

Colliers Directors Josh Coburn and Craig Smith have been exclusively appointed to sell the site and are taking expressions of interest with the deadline closing at 4pm on Thursday 18 May, unless sold prior.
Coburn, Director of Site Sales at Colliers, says flexibility is what underpins this development site given the mixed-use zoning of the property.
“The Business – Mixed Use Zone is a zoning classification under the Auckland Unitary Plan that allows for a mix of commercial and residential uses. This zone is intended to provide for a variety of businesses, services, and residential opportunities, particularly in urban centres and areas with good access to public transportation,” Coburn says.
“The primary purpose of the Business – Mixed Use Zone is to encourage development that supports local communities by providing a range of services, amenities, and housing options. The zone permits a wide range of commercial and retail activities, as well as residential uses such as apartments, townhouses, and mixed-use buildings.
“This type of development freedom is keenly sought by investors and developers who will recognise the significant potential attached to this landholding.”
The West Auckland suburb of Henderson is known for its diverse mix of residential, commercial, and industrial developments. It is well served by numerous local cafes and restaurants, providing residents with a range of dining opportunities.
As well as the nearby Sunnyvale train station, there’s also a handful of bus routes that connect to the suburb offering travel across the city. The motorway interchanges are also readily accessible.
Water, wastewater, and storm water utilities are in place to the boundary of the site, which has a gentle contour with a steeper gradient falling towards the native bush area and stream at the rear of the property.
Smith, Director at Colliers West Auckland, says the supply of available land that is suitable for development across Auckland remains constrained.
“Sites like this offer the opportunity for further expansion of services in a suburb that continues to experience population growth, which leads to greater demand for amenities,” Smith says.
“The chance to take a blank canvas like this one and create a development that could include dwellings, commercial services, education or healthcare facilities, or a light manufacturing business, among other things, will be highly appealing.”
