Tenders closed for the 13.43ha piece of land at 198 Pinecrest Drive on March 19.
Bayleys Whangaparaoa agent Roger Sumich says it is not sold at this stage, but that there are a number of interested parties.
The land is the final portion of a farm that was first owned by Ranulph Dacre in the 19th Century and has since been owned by the Shakespears and then the Hobbs family, is being marketed to developers as “a blank canvas”.
It was put on the market last October (HM November 6).
It is zoned 9E, which allows it to be developed for housing, and engineering firm Cato Bolam drew up a concept plan that envisages 119 residential sections as well as two larger lots that could potentially contain two rows of seaward-facing terraced housing, with up to seven dwellings in one row and up to nine dwellings in the other row.
The plan would need Council consent, but indicates the housing density that can be achieved on the site.
