Luke says that Pinehill Central has been strategically positioned to service the homeward-bound traffic travelling from the motorway through to the East Coast Bays. The site can be accessed directly off Greville Road and offers good on-site car parking designed to make shopping quick and stress-free for customers. Pinehill Central includes a supermarket and individual units or shops. The new retail/commercial buildings feature a high standard of contemporary design, covered walking areas, outdoor dining spaces and landscaped areas around the perimeter of the buildings. The development is expected to complement the existing Palmers Garden Centre on the same site. Pinehill Central is in close proximity to Albany Westfield, Albany Mega Centre, Massey University and the Northern Motorway and in the vicinity of the fully developed greater Pinehill residential area. In addition to the growing Albany city precinct, the centre will service the surrounding residential North Shore catchments. Hugh Green Group has retained ownership of the development and has leased individual units and shops to prospective tenants. Pinehill Central leasing agent from Bayleys Auckland Central Chris Beasleigh says that interest has been high and he is currently talking to a number of potential tenants. Pinehill Central is anchored by Countdownwhich opened April 27. Flex Fitness and U Sushi are signed up and there is strong interest from a number of other parties. A total of 19 shops are available for lease ranging from 53sqm up to 558sqm with a wide range of tenancies available, food and beverage, specialty, grab and go, gym, medical and service retail. Chris says that Pinehill Central will offer over 274 parking spaces and on average approx. 6,400 vehicles pass the centre every day. On the other side of Auckland, Hugh Green Group is also undertaking Park Green in Manukau. The master planned development located on the shores of the Hingaia Peninsula on the coastline of the Manukau Harbour is set to become a new and vibrant community, says Luke. Spanning 97 hectares Park Green offers the rare feature of expansive access to a coastal estuary resulting in a truly active lifestyle that will provide a sense of space and a high-quality living environment, he says. Luke says Hugh Green Group has designed Park Green for its residents and also as a destination for visitors to experience the greenways and waterfront together with local hospitality. It will include extensive cycleways and walkways, a brand new school (Mangapikopiko Primary School, under construction), and a Neighbourhood Centre, for everyday needs, within a leafy precinct that will deliver a genuine village atmosphere. Resource consent has also been granted for a waterfront café at Park Green and planning is underway. Fully serviced sections at Stage 2 of Park Green are now selling. Final sections are also available in the Group’s 92 hectare Donegal Glen subdivision in Flat Bush. Located in southeast Auckland on 1,700 hectares of land, the development and transformation of Flat Bush is a collaboration between Auckland Council, the Howick Local Board and partners. A New Zealand owned company Hugh Green Group was established in 1953 by Hugh Green (an Irish emigrant) and today is comprised of a number of privately owned companies which hold a substantial portfolio of land and commercial/industrial property assets across the greater Auckland and Waikato regions. The companies conduct a range of businesses on their landholdings, including developing residential sections for sale, developing and managing commercial and industrial buildings for lease, plus farming operations. An important aspect of Hugh Green Group is a philosophy of giving something back to the community. The Hugh Green Foundation was established in 1998 to be the vehicle for Hugh’s charitable giving, which started as early as 1968. The Hugh Green Foundation is a member of Philanthropy New Zealand and is a supporter of a huge number of local communities, people and charities.
