Hastings District Council (HDC) invites experienced developers to participate in an exciting opportunity to transform a key inner-city site in the 200-block west of Hastings CBD. This prime development location offers the chance to be part of a forward-thinking project that will provide inner city living and commercial space resulting in a new central city precinct.

This project has already received resource consent and includes a beautifully designed pocket park, vehicle service lanes, private and public parking, and pedestrian connections to Heretaunga Street West and the wider CBD. The site is strategically located with recent area improvements, including a recently built Countdown supermarket, nearby Nelson Park, and other streetscape improvements, all within a short walk from the site. Thus, ensuring its success as a desirable location for residents and businesses.

HDC is offering part of the site for sale to developers, with a commitment to creating complementary public spaces that will foster an exceptional community environment. This project offers a unique opportunity to develop residential units overlooking the proposed public park, alongside new commercial space—perfect for professional offices or other commercial activities. The Council’s vision also includes integrating heritage elements, with salvaged features from the existing building being incorporated into the park.

HDC is seeking a developer who can bring this vision to life, ideally meeting key timelines for completion by 2028. The project’s timeline aligns with Hastings’ dynamic growth, making it an attractive proposition for investment.

Don’t miss this opportunity to be part of a transformative project in one of New Zealand’s most vibrant and fast-growing regions.
