18 Utauta Street, Waikanae, Kapiti Coast, Wellington

With recent changes to the District Plan, 18 Utauta Street, Waikanae, now falls within the High-Density Residential zone - unlocking significant development potential. Sitting on a generous 1,862m² parcel in a prime central location, this property offers a rare opportunity to maximise yield and capitalise on zoning that supports increased density.

Preliminary feasibility studies, conducted before the zoning change, indicated the potential for 4–5 lots. However, with updated planning rules, the scale of what’s now possible has expanded dramatically. Developers can explore options ranging from standalone single-level dwellings to townhouse-style developments or a multi-unit, multi-storey offering - subject to council consents.

The vendors are open to creative solutions to support your development vision. Whether it's removing the existing dwelling to provide a blank canvas, or retaining it for renovation or repurposing, flexibility is on your side.

The current home features four bedrooms, one bathroom, a sunny living area, spacious kitchen with butler’s pantry, and multiple heating options. A carport and plenty of space for garaging round out the existing setup.

This is a surplus asset for the owners, and they’re motivated to release capital for their next move. With demand growing and high-density zoning now in play, it’s the perfect time to walk the site, explore its potential, and run your numbers.

*All development is subject to buyer due diligence, design feasibility, and council consent.
