With 17 of the 36 townhouses already sold, under contract or on hold, the momentum behind this premium development is undeniable. According to project spokesperson Sunil Hira, interest is soaring. “Enquiry momentum is high, reflecting the progress on-site,” he says. “The word is definitely spreading that this is a premiere, low-maintenance opportunity, appealing to a diverse buyer mix.” For developers Te Ātiawa Iwi Holdings LP – the commercial arm of Te Kotahitanga o Te Ātiawa Trust – Pukekura –The Parade is a flagship project that aligns with the long-term vision of Te Atiawa to balance commercial, cultural, social, and environmental aspirations for iwi, hapū, and whānau. Their involvement ensures the development reflects a balance of modern living and cultural respect. With a strong focus on sustainability, their vision emphasises the relationship between land, community and the environment. To bring their vision to life, Te Ātiawa Iwi Holdings LP collaborated with leading design firms – Solari Architects has designed the residential structures, while Blac has provided the landscape architecture, enhancing the overall aesthetic and community feel. Situated at the intersection of Liardet and Lemon/Pendarves streets, Pukekura – The Parade comprises 15, two-bedroom, two-bathroom homes, 20, three-bedroom, two-bathroom homes, and a single, bespoke four-bedroom, three-bathroom executive property. Ranging in size from 87 to 102sqm, the homes also include private outdoor terraces or decks and allocated car parks. Prices start at $782,000, and every home features high-end finishes. On the ground floor, residents can expect tiled splash backs, composite bench tops, two-tone cabinetry, and premium appliances. Upstairs, ensuites and double wardrobes add an extra touch of luxury. The exteriors of the townhouses feature a mix of durable and aesthetically pleasing materials, including profiled corrugated Colorsteel, vertical timber shiplap weatherboards and sustainably sourced thermory pine, ash, and cedar. These materials are not only visually striking, but also are specifically chosen to withstand Taranaki’s environmental conditions, and reflect the cultural identity of Ngāti Te Whiti hapū and Te Atiawa iwi. With diverse building forms and cladding, the development achieves an architectural harmony that feels both contemporary and timeless. Construction, led by Livingstone Building, is set to be completed by July 2026. Beyond the architectural appeal, Pukekura – The Parade offers a location that is hard to beat. The site is just 450 metres from New Plymouth’s vibrant city centre, and a mere 350 metres from the iconic Pukekura Park. Residents will find themselves within walking distance of the city’s thriving café culture, fine dining establishments, breweries, bars, galleries, and boutique shopping. Additionally, the stunning waterfront and its picturesque walkways are only moments away. This prime position not only offers modern conveniences, but a tangible connection to the city’s past. The Pukekura site holds deep cultural and historical importance, especially for the local Ngāti Te Whiti hapū of Te Ātiawa iwi. Historically, the area was part of the ‘Parade Ground’ used by British troops during the Taranaki Land Wars. The development’s name, Pukekura – The Parade, pays homage to this dual heritage. As the development progresses toward its 2026 completion date, Pukekura – The Parade offers residents a unique opportunity to be part of a community grounded in heritage, while enjoying the conveniences of modern city living. 06 758 1931 39 De Havilland Drive, Bell Block, New Plymouth www.grahamharris.co.nz Proud to be associated with the Pukekura Parade Development
