Creating a New Urban Waterfront Community
Within the next 10-15 years, Port Nikau will represent a new way of living, right in the heart of Whangarei. With stunning views across Whangarei Harbour, this urban waterfront community has been designed for the future, with 100 hectares of high value residential, marine and commercial opportunities all just minutes from the city.
A Vibrant Urban Community
The Port Nikau development has been in the planning for more than a decade, with a long term vision to design a new space, a new way of living, and a new community, incorporating a range of high quality urban living options, a marina and a village centre and commercial precinct.
Port Nikau will support the region’s economic development by meeting community demand for high-quality social urban living, inner-city green spaces, community facilities for walking and cycling, retirement residences, and retail and commercial activity.
The Port Nikau marina sits alongside the urban community development, giving residents and visitors a spectacular marina vista view. Residents will have access to recreational vessel infrastructure, including berths and a public boat ramp, to complement the outdoors Kiwi lifestyle.
The Port Nikau Vision
Port Nikau will become Whangārei’s inspired urban waterfront community, designed for the future and offering a new way of living, to support Northland’s growing regional population. This new community will grow from within, and support our city and our region.
The Port Nikau Masterplan
The Port Nikau development includes plans for over 1,250 dwellings plus a town centre with 6,000m2 of retail, hospitality and commercial activities. The first stage of residential development is underway, and this will be followed by further residential sections and waterfront apartments.
Commercial Opportunities
At the heart of Port Nikau, a town centre with 6,000m2 retail, hospitality and commercial activities is planned. Exciting opportunities exist for commercial development within the town centre.
