East Coast Height Residential Development

 

East Coast Heights – Shaping the Future of Silverdale

At Rockhopper, we manage more than developments—we help create enduring, high-performing communities. East Coast Heights is a landmark, master-planned development in the heart of Silverdale, Auckland, setting a new benchmark for scale, quality, and integration in one of the region’s fastest-growing corridors.

Our role as Development Manager and Strategic Advisor places us at the helm of this complex, multi-stage project—ensuring every element is aligned with commercial goals, community needs, and long-term value creation.

Strategically Positioned, Thoughtfully Designed

East Coast Heights spans a significant site with capacity for over 500 dwellings, offering a variety of housing options including a commercial hub, townhouses, and standalone homes. Designed for diverse modern lifestyles, the development is positioned to support a thriving residential community with direct access to shopping precincts, beaches, transport infrastructure, and education.

This large-scale, mixed-use community is being delivered with an unwavering focus on liveability, walkability, and environmental responsibility—underpinned by Rockhopper’s expertise in project delivery and development advisory.

Stage 5: Delivery Under Fast-Track Pathways

As part of the East Coast Heights masterplan, Stage 5 involves the subdivision and development of approximately 1.55 hectares, with 62 new residential units planned at 2 Goldwater Drive, Silverdale.

This stage was accepted as a referred project under the COVID-19 Recovery (Fast-track Consenting) Act 2020, reflecting its strategic value and the importance of timely delivery. Rockhopper provided critical leadership through the fast-track consenting process and continues to manage compliance, risk, and delivery execution.
