Panmure, before the 1930s state housing boom, was mainly market gardens established by Chinese immigrants. Prior local iwi and hapu, Ngāti Pāoa, Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki and Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei, built thriving pa and tended kumara plantations here. Image: Supplied

Construction is now underway at Pīrangi, a new residential development in Point England, delivered as part of the Tāmaki Regeneration Programme.

Designed by Studio Pacific Architecture, the Pīrangi masterplan will deliver 88 new homes across three superlots — a mix of public and shared home ownership housing.

These new homes by Studio Pacific form part of the wider Tāmaki Regeneration, which has promised to deliver 10,500 new modern, healthy homes across Glenn Innes, Point England and Panmure.

Of these 10,500 homes, 1,500 are part of the Own It scheme of shared home ownership, with the Tāmaki Regeneration Company (TRC) retaining 30% of the property value, thus lowering the deposit required and reducing mortgage repayments. Owners are offered up to 20 years to buy back the TRC 30% share. Those people who whakapapa to the area, who grew up there, whose family is from the area, or who went to school there, are offered preferential access.

The Studio Pacific project is located between Maungarei and Te Wai o Tāiki (the Tāmaki Estuary).

Studio Pacific say, “The site sits within a rich ecological and historical landscape, with design responses shaped by the surrounding puna (natural springs), coastal reserves, and long-established communities. Pīrangi has been designed as a neighbourhood that supports a diversity of people and whānau, with durable materials, walkable streets and shared spaces that encourage connection and everyday use. All homes are being delivered to Homestar 6 and Lifemark 3 or 4 standards. The masterplan balances density with green space, creating a walkable, well-connected development. Homes along Tripoli Road provide a robust urban edge, while internal areas open into quieter shared spaces, with strong links to local parks, schools and shops.”
