Rosebank Road, Avondale – Urban Infill Done Right

Delivering Smart Density with Street Presence and Suburban Character

We’re pleased to support Bastion Living Limited with development management and advisory services for their latest residential project at 194 Rosebank Road, Avondale. This well-located urban site is poised to deliver much-needed medium-density housing in one of Auckland’s most connected and revitalising suburbs.

Project Snapshot

Five new two-storey dwellings
Four standalone homes, each with four bedrooms and a garage
One additional four-bedroom dwelling without a garage
Open-plan living areas on the ground floor flowing into south-facing outdoor spaces
Existing vehicle crossings retained—minimising disruption to public assets and preserving a mature street tree

Design-Driven, Context-Aware Development

This project is a prime example of context-responsive infill housing. It has been carefully designed to balance density with liveability, featuring:

Ground-floor indoor-outdoor integration
Landscape planting and timber fencing along the street edge
Specimen trees to enhance amenity at driveway entries and within private outdoor spaces
Strong interface with the public realm, particularly through Lot 1’s orientation and access design

These elements contribute to a positive street presence while ensuring privacy, function, and comfort for future residents.

Our Role: Navigating Consent with Precision

At the resource consent lodgement stage, our team has led the process to:

Align the proposal with Auckland Unitary Plan provisions for suburban intensification
Coordinate specialist inputs and ensure integrated design outcomes
Manage risk and interface with Council teams
Position the development for smooth transition to the delivery phase

Our approach is focused on unlocking value and certainty for our clients—ensuring design ambition translates into buildable, consentable outcomes.

Why This Project Matters

As Auckland intensifies, smaller-scale, high-quality infill developments like this are critical to delivering diverse housing options in established suburbs. The Rosebank Road development demonstrates:

Efficient land use within existing urban boundaries
Design-led intensification that supports street character and transport choice
Sustainable housing typologies for modern urban families

Shaping the Future of Urban Housing

This project adds to a growing portfolio of smart, well-located residential developments that balance regulatory compliance with market-ready design. It reflects our commitment to helping clients deliver homes that make sense—for people, for place, and for long-term value.
