Outhwaite’s grand house. That’s how Carlton Gore Road in Auckland began its story in 1844. Thomas Outhwaite, a man of vision, chose the corner of Carlton Gore Road and Park Road for his magnificent residence. This marked the beginning of Carlton Gore Road’s transformation from a simple track to a vibrant thoroughfare. Carlton Gore Road also played a role in Auckland’s early development. In 1840, Ngāti Whātua rangatira Apihai Te Kawau sold a large piece of land to Governor Hobson. This land included present-day Newmarket and thus Carlton Gore Road. This sale laid the foundation for Auckland’s growth. Carlton Gore Road also witnessed the establishment of the Carlton Gore Nursery in 1854 at Walter Brodie’s house. This nursery, along with John Edgerley’s Eden Nursery established in 1843, contributed to Auckland’s green landscape. Fast forward to the 21st century, and Carlton Gore Road is a bustling hub of activity. The Stantec Building at 105 Carlton Gore Road stands as a testament to the area’s continuous evolution. This building, originally designed in the 1990s, underwent a major refurbishment in 2023. It now boasts a high-performance façade, new landscaping, and energy-efficient building services. It even earned a 6-star Green Star Built rating. Carlton Gore Road has seen it all, from the humble beginnings of Outhwaite’s house to the modern marvel of the Stantec Building. It stands as a witness to Auckland’s growth, a testament to its enduring spirit.
