$200m hotel and entertainment centre planned for Whangārei waterfront
Northland Development Corporation, a group formed by local business people two years ago, hopes to get the project started before the end of the year and be ready for business when the Hundertwasser Art Centre opens before the end of 2020.
The hotel, entertainment centre, and apartments will be built on 12,460sqm of waterfront land along Riverside Drive, where boatsheds and light industry are currently located.
The four-star complex is expected to provide more than 200 jobs during the construction phase and around 140-160 once it is opened. The 130-room hotel could host up to 1000 people.
There are also plans to ferry tourists from cruise ships that will berth at Northport from early 2021 to the new hotel precincts and other places frequented by visitors, such as the Hundertwasser Art Centre and Hihiaua peninsula.
