| 73 T T Karen Phelps Milenio development ticks all the boxes The current stage comprises 36 homes, with 14 completed and available for immediate purchase. The Oakland Group - Milenio DEVELOPMENT Milenio may be the North Shore’s bestkept secret, says Nicky Cranswick, sales and marketing manager for developer The Oakland Group. “Milenio is secretly tucked away, so a lot of people don’t know it’s there. It’s a super- private, elevated location, and when people discover it they are blown away. It’s become a friendly community hub and is attracting a diverse mix of residents, particularly families seeking proximity to the beach and good school zones,” Nicky says. Located in Windsor Park, at the end of Centorian Drive, off Constellation Drive, the 3.3-hectare Milenio development showcases the group’s commitment to creating comprehensive communities, says Nicky. With stage 4 now well underway, Milenio offers an array of housing options. The completed first stage delivered 14, two-storey duplex homes, while stage 2 expanded to 16 duplex homes with larger floor plans. Stage 3 introduced two blocks of townhouses spanning two and three levels, offering three to four bedrooms. Nicky says each property demonstrates The Oakland Group’s focus on sustainability, incorporating innovative features such as roof-water collection systems for grey water usage. The current stage comprises 36 homes, with 14 completed and available for immediate purchase. These three-level, four-bedroom family homes offer five different plan options and feature internal garaging. They are full turnkey, including landscaping, and start from $1.19 million. Because The Oakland Group has its own construction firm, Uprise Construction Ltd – URC – based on site, this offers premium efficiency in building homes to the utmost quality and to the highest of new- build standards, using only materials proven to stand the test of time. “This stands out as a huge advantage to buyers knowing they get a beautifully well-constructed home with the security of a 10-year new-build guarantee,” says Nicky. She says people can register their interest via The Oakland Group contact page or with one of the sales consultants at the Milenio show home, located within the complex. She says Milenio’s strategic location means it has a suburban feel, but also provides residents with excellent connectivity to urban amenities. The site is just five minutes from Constellation Park & Ride and 15 minutes from Auckland’s CBD. Its position within the Rangitoto College zone adds significant appeal for families, while proximity to Mairangi and Murrays Bay beaches offers lifestyle benefits. The development will eventually encompass eight stages, including a boutique commercial precinct accessed from 15 Apollo Drive. Milenio Business Park will feature retail spaces, hospitality venues, and corporate offices, creating a self-contained community with pedestrian access to AUT Millennium. Construction on Milenio Business Park is expected to start later this year, but those potentially interested in spaces can make immediate contact with The Oakland Group. Led by Leo Chen, a qualified architect with over 17 years of construction and development experience, and Verena Wu, who brings expertise in project delivery and quantity surveying, The Oakland Group has established itself as a respected presence in Auckland’s property sector. The family-owned business operates through a network of valued partnerships, including Form Architects, where Chen leads a team of 15 professionals. Building on its success with Milenio, the developer has recently announced its latest project, Meadowstone, in the Stonefields vicinity of St Johns. This boutique development will deliver 26 luxury townhouses, ranging from 130 to 165sqm, targeting empty-nesters, downsizers and professional couples. The Meadowstone townhouses will span three levels, featuring two to three bedrooms, designer kitchens with European appliances, and EV charging stations. Nicky says the development’s location on the fringes of Remuera and Mount Wellington offers convenient access to central Auckland.
