Eke Panuku Development Auckland
Eke Panuku Development Auckland is Auckland Council’s urban regeneration agency. We manage a $3 billion portfolio of land and buildings owned by the council, looking for ways for these assets to work harder for the city. We are not developers ourselves but we act as a catalyst for smart partnerships. We work with the community, local boards, private sector and other government agencies to deliver stronger neighbourhoods where affordable housing, communities, business and transport are well planned and sustainable. From small projects that refresh a site or building to major transformations of town centres or neighbourhoods, our goal is always the same: creating amazing places throughout Tāmaki Makaurau / Auckland .
