The former Howick Library in Fencible Drive is finally being demolished.
The building was previously owned by Auckland Council and is a well-known east Auckland landmark.
It’s sat empty since 2011 and is being torn down to make way for a project by Habib Enterprises Limited, led by East Tamaki-based property developer Ayesha Ashraf.
Any development at the site must align with the Howick Village Centre Plan and provide a minimum of three storeys with active uses such as commercial or retail on the ground level.
