Fletcher Living Albany

Ōkahukura (Albany) is a master‑planned, recently completed residential neighbourhood developed by Fletcher Living and positioned on a natural plateau behind Massey University. The site is presented as an elevated, green enclave with expansive north‑west views, gully reserve frontage and limited vehicle access (one road in/out), emphasising a secluded, community‑oriented atmosphere while stating straightforward connectivity to Albany’s retail, education and transport amenities. Product mix and design The development offers a mix of housing types aimed at multiple household types: 1–3‑bed single‑level walk‑up residences, 2–4‑bed terraced homes, and larger 4–5‑bed standalone family homes. Fletcher Living markets these as completed, move‑in ready homes, with examples on the listing ranging roughly from NZD 599,000 for a 1‑bed unit up to about NZD 1.3M for larger family homes (sample listings included on the page). Architectural and interior features highlighted include premium designer kitchens, high stud ceilings, large windows for natural light and warmth, and private outdoor living spaces. Floorplans are described as catering to “every chapter,” positioned for first‑home buyers, families, downsizers and investors. Community, culture and placemaking Ōkahukura’s name and cultural framing were gifted by Ngāti Whātua o Kaipara, recognising Kahukura (the rainbow atua) and signalling an intent to embed local narratives and values within the neighbourhood design. The development references thoughtful landscaping, shared community spaces and a sense of neighbourhood identity intended to encourage interaction and belonging. Local amenities and lifestyle The location is presented as highly amenity‑rich. Education options cited include proximity to primary/secondary schools such as Kristin School, Pinehurst and Albany School, with direct pedestrian access to Massey University. Retail and services within walking distance include Westfield Albany, Albany Village, Albany Mega Centre and multiple supermarkets. Dining, cafes (e.g., Fields Cafe) and local eateries are noted as plentiful. Recreation and leisure assets nearby include North Harbour Stadium, Albany Stadium Pools, Albany Tennis Park, Event Cinemas, Game Over indoor entertainment, and several North Shore beaches (Browns Bay, Mairangi) approximately 10 minutes away. Parks cited include Albany Domain and Kell Park, which features a 2.8 km walking loop connecting to Albany Village. Positioning and target audience Fletcher Living frames Ōkahukura as a tranquil yet connected suburban option with a range of housing formats for varied household needs. Marketing materials emphasise completed inventory, lifestyle amenities, and cultural acknowledgment through partnership with local iwi, positioning the development for buyers seeking new‑build homes close to education, retail and recreational infrastructure.
