The Diocese of Auckland is selling a 1.1643ha site in Silverdale.
The Diocese has owned the site since 1999 when it purchased a 22.245ha farm.
The General manager of the Diocese, Kerry Coleman, said the land was purchased with the long term strategy of accommodating future Catholic primary and secondary schools and a parish centre.
Stella Maris Catholic School was opened in 2009 and has a maximum roll of 400 students and a further 9.8ha of land has been set aside for the construction of a Catholic secondary school as well as the parish centre. Coleman said that with urban development in Silverdale and infrastructure put in place, this commercially zoned part of the property was deemed surplus to requirements and hence was up for sale.
Daryl Devereux of Bayleys North Shore Commercial says “The land for tender is a very strong location, having triple road frontage and sharing a street front connection with the Silverdale Centre, a large shopping complex fully leased to 36 separate retailers,”
