The heart of Whangārei's harbour
Situated in the centre of Whangārei's commercial district, Port Nikau is uniquely positioned out into Whangārei Harbour to create genuine waterfront living and harbourside opportunities for businesses.
In the heart of Whangārei
Formerly home to the city’s port, Port Nikau is now ready and waiting to be revitalised. Port Nikau represents 100 hectares of freehold development, with over four kilometres of coastline, access to deep water, and close proximity to arterial routes, amenities and facilities. Port Nikau is located less than 5km off State Highway One, and less than 4km from the Whangārei central business district.
A new community, a new way of living
Today, when so much of our environment is already defined and established, there are very few opportunities to design a new space and a new way of living. Port Nikau will become a new community, incorporating a range of high quality urban living options, a marina and a village centre and commercial precinct to support Northland’s growing regional economy. This is a new community that will grow from within, and support our city and our region.
