Civil works are being undertaken by Higgins and Holmes Group is completing the building works. Managing director of Holmes Group Ben Holmes says that the project is a good fit for the skills of his company. Over the last 60 years the Holmes Group has built a reputation for quality construction including many landmark projects in the Wairarapa and Wellington and North Island. The company also completed the Greytown Town Hall refurbishment project including the de-cluttering of the building and additions while maintaining the respect of the building’s history. Ben says that the Holmes Construction team was extremely proud to be awarded this community project, especially as it has been a part of the local Greytown community and its projects for the last 65 years. “As a family-owned business our approach reflects traditional Kiwi values. We are honest, fair and hardworking. By combining traditional skills with exceptional project management and a collaborative approach, we deliver the best possible results on projects such as Greytown Orchards and the Greytown Town Hall. “We look forward to completing a successful project for Craig, TUMU group and the future residents,” he says. The Greytown Orchards development sits on the 100–year-old former site of Murphy’s Orchard, a much loved, family owned and operated stone fruit farm. Streams trickle through the property and many of the original orchard trees have been retained. The villas are generously spaced throughout the site giving a feeling of spaciousness and privacy. The proximity of the development to Greytown – 300 metres approximately – means people can walk anywhere they choose. Villas range from 100sqm two bedroom, one bath duplex villas with garage to 203sqm three bedroom, two bathroom, two living space villas with double garage. Stage 1c is due for release later this year. WIDER BENEFITS TO DEVELOPMENT Craig says Greytown Orchards will see Greytown experience a large increase in population creating opportunities for employment in the region. Already substantial construction jobs have been created with 100 permanent jobs on site once fully operational with further jobs created upstream and downstream in the Wonderful Wairarapa - page 102 community. With 350 new residents within the retirement village, this also adds to the GDP. Craig says the region is booming and that property prices have increased post lockdown while prices have remained reasonable at Greytown Orchards. This means that Greytown Orchards purchasers can benefit from selling their own home, purchasing a villa and having cash to spare. He says this also releases family homes within the wider South Wairarapa Community for first homebuyers to take advantage of.
