112 | T T Virginia Wright While the sections vary in size according to the terrain, the ready-to-build platforms are all flat areas measuring 450sqm or more. Stage Two of Urban Homes Rotorua’s development Redwood Park is well underway and they’re delighted to be offering more people a chance to live in a community built on lifestyle sections with beautiful views over Lake Rotorua on one side, Whakarewarewa Forest on the other, and easy access to everything Rotorua has to offer. Owners Ally and Ben Green, who are behind the development of what was her family’s hilltop farm, understand that building a home is a massive commitment and often a scary prospect. That’s why they’re committed to providing a seamless design and build experience for clients interested in their house and land packages, and because they want their clients to feel secure they use the rigorous 197-point Urban Quality Standard (UQS) checklist to ensure they’re getting the highest level of workmanship from the skilled and experienced team of local builders they employ. 14 of the 16 sections released in Stage One in 2025 have already sold and the remaining two are in the pipeline to be sold. Seven builds are already underway or complete. Titles for the 15 sections of Stage Two are expected to be through by the end of the year and they’re already looking at pre-sales with a number of the sections close to being sold. The overwhelming feedback Urban Homes Rotorua has had from clients or potential clients is that they’re excited to have new sections available with quality designs and builders ready to build on them. “We’re offering house and land packages which create new premium lifestyle possibilities for people whether they’re coming from Rotorua or coming in from outside looking for an enviable spot next to a beautiful forest and near the lakes,” says Ben. While the sections vary in size according to the terrain, the ready-to-build platforms are all flat areas measuring 450sqm or more. Established with privacy in mind and to maximise any views, many of them are easily big enough to take not only a large house with double garage but there’s room for the boat or caravan as well. “Stage Two is a big valley overlooking farmland and the Whakarewarewa Forest. Our vision is to take inspiration from places like Castle Hill in Canterbury with stronger design requirements to create some consistBeautiful views over Lake Rotorua BUILDING Urban Homes – Rotorua ency and some of that South Island Alpine Village feel which really suits this environment,” says Ben.
