Kowhai Road Masterplan
  • Project Masterplanning
  • Status Construction
  • Location 120 Kowhai Road, Orewa
Queens Homes’ masterplanned development at 120 Kowhai Road transforms a 5.95-hectare greenfield site into a modern, thoughtfully designed residential neighbourhood overlooking the Orewa Estuary. Located just 3.8km from Orewa town centre and surrounded by the growing communities of Millwater and Milldale, the development will provide 66 residential lots and two superlots within a high-amenity, ecologically enhanced setting.

The masterplan responds carefully to the site’s sloping terrain, irregular geometry and established vegetation. Streets, pedestrian connections and homes are arranged to work with the natural contours, maximise sunlight and views, and strengthen connections to Kowhai Road, nearby reserves and the Te Ara Tahuna Estuary Cycleway and Walkway. A varied mix of lot sizes will support a diverse range of homes, with building orientation and setbacks designed to create attractive streets, encourage passive surveillance and reduce the visual dominance of garages.

With convenient access to Orewa Beach, Silverdale, public transport and State Highway 1, the development combines strong regional connectivity with immediate access to the natural landscape. The result will be a distinctive hillside neighbourhood that complements the surrounding urban pattern while enhancing local ecology and maintaining a strong visual connection to the Orewa Estuary.
