Plenty of Good Reasons to Relocate to Parnell Why not relocate your business to Parnell! Parnell is a great place to be in business. Whether you are a retailer, in jewellery, gallery owner, restaurateur, marketer, designer, or a professional in law, accountancy, finance, health, engineering, architecture, the Internet field, or being an entrepreneur with your small business, you will find a niche in Parnell. This is the place for you: - Minutes from the CBD, but with CBD fringe cost advantages One of the charming things about Parnell is the way it successfully blends the traditions of the Auckland’s earlier years with the commercial realities of the 21st Century. That’s a magic mix that reminds us real success is not a question of constantly abandoning our past, but bringing its best along with us as we embrace our future. There’s a lot to be said for old fashioned values and a vision of tomorrow. The late Les Harvey, creator of the iconic “ Parnell Village,” is a typical example of a man who had this vision. “The relocation of your business is deserving of special consideration,” says Cyril Dominikovich of Parnell Real Estate. “A company or sole practitioner has a lot of decisions to make moving their business to new premises. Not only the suitability of the premises for your business, but also staff requirements, regular, consistent public transport, good shopping for food and other commodities and the environment or neighbourhood you are in. Through the endeavors of local business association Parnell Mainstreet, Parnell is once again becoming the hot place to be in Business.” To lease premises in Parnell the dollar rate per square metre ($/m2), car parking, and outgoings are generally less expensive than in the Central City. Do your own research on Parnell! You’ll probably be surprised at the outcome. Locate your business to Parnell and be part of us.
Great Access key to success in Parnell Where Bob Jones’s property investment mantra was “location, location, location,” Parnell businesses would add “access, access, access,” particularly as Auckland’s growth places increasing pressure on city traffic. Parnell’s central location and its ease of access is a big drawcard for local businesses, many of which are in the textile, fashion, design and marketing sectors. Parnell is also strategically very close to the city.
Brand designers, Velocity Design re-located to offices at the corner of Heather and Cheshire Streets from Newmarket mainly to take advantage of Parnell’s access. “Newmarket is too busy and harder to get in and out of, while Parnell has good access to the motorway. There’s an interesting community of designers here, too,” said manager, Dave Cogan. Designer Donna Hoyle would agree with Dave about access. Donna commutes from Sandringham to her very smart off-street office at the top of Parnell Road, where she specialises in creating visual identities for clients including Huka Lodge, Sabato and Hartfields. “For me, Parnell is well-placed relative to clients and has easy access to everywhere,” she said. “It’s also a very pleasant place to work in and for people who work hard there’s everything you need within easy walking distance; like a fantastic butcher, a great fruit and vegie shop, the dry cleaners and the bank. And you can eat with clients or friends in the middle of the day. It’s so much more civilised than working in the city. Parnell is sophisticated and intimate and safe, with a huge amount of things on offer.” Happily, for any businesses now inspired to take a look at re-locating to Parnell, there are good leasing opportunities available now!

City Council monitored traffic flows at 360 Parnell Road in the first week of August, 2005. Results are now through and can be compared against traffic flows surveyed at other times. Unfortunately, Council never seems to survey the same spot twice, so it's hard to make a direct compaison. But, surprisingly, it looks as if traffic volumes have decreased if this August's results are compared with traffic flows further down the hill on Parnell.

Parking in Parnell Finding a car park anywhere in central Auckland these days can be stressful. A recent survey of 16 Auckland shopping centres, including the CBD, showed parking was perceived to be a major problem everywhere. Parnell has an advantage over many areas in Auckland: we now have user-chooses Pay & Display metered parking. Recent changes to the Pay & Display system in Parnell have greatly improved parking options for visitors to the area. Following a successful 3-month trial of a new user-chooses system, visitors can now park in Pay & Display metered spaces along Parnell Road for as long as they wish. An escalating pay scale discourages long-term parking, but is ideal for short term stays of 1 to 2 hours: $2 for the 1st hour; $3 for the 2nd; $4 for the 3rd and $5 for each additional hour. Retailers report that they have not had any complaints about parking shortages since the parking trial began in June 2005. At Parnell Mainstreet, we believe the old perceptions of parking difficulties in Parnell no longer reflect the more convenient parking regime along Parnell Road.

2006 Census shows who lives in Parnell Statistics New Zealand divides Parnell into Parnell East & Parnell West. Parnell East is the area east of Parnell Road/St Stephens Ave, from Cowie Street in the south to Point Resolution and running down to the sea and Bloodworth Park. Parnell West is the rest of Parnell, from George St in the south and bounded by Stanley St and The Strand in the west. (See map below.)
The snapshot above confirms much of what we already know: Parnell East has a higher density of families, while Parnell West, with more than double the population, is where the younger singles and couples live, with fewer children. Frustratingly, the Community Profiles provided don't give actual statistics or figures for most categories analysed - most info is in bar charts. You'll have to delve deeply through the online table builders if you want the numbers.
