Their passion for good, functional design that brings people together is beautifully represented in their latest offering at Waihi Beach. The couple have already made their mark on Citrus Avenue, Waihi Beach with 19 gorgeous properties and a community playground, now completed and fully sold out. Vibe Group is following this with their next exciting new installment just down the road: Citrus Avenue Stage 2, designed to foster the kind of relaxed kiwi summer lifestyle that Waihi has long been known for. Waihi Beach is a special place for Aaron and Shannan, who spend just about every weekend there. It is also where Shannan grew up. Their love for this place is obvious on Citrus Avenue, where Vibe Group’s Stage 2 development includes informal shared spaces, a playground designed in harmony with the surrounding environment, laneways and a recreation reserve. It is the kind of place where it will be easy for residents and visitors alike to get together and share the simple pleasures of play and relaxation. “We wanted to create a development that we would be comfortable and happy to live in ourselves. There will be easy access to the beach across a stream and the local village is only five or six minutes’ walk away. The development includes a barbeque area in the reserve and there will be a basketball hoop in the playground for people of all ages to enjoy. “The people who live in Stage 1, which is similar to this latest stage, really love it. Everyone knows each other and the kids are always out playing. They go around to each other’s places for a beer or wine. This is what we grew up with and it’s what we want to encourage here. You won’t find any big fences at the front of the section to shut the neighbours out. Instead, it’s all nice landscaping and batten fencing, with everything opened up to create that communal feeling.” Stage 2 comprises 19 new sections, along with three pre-existing quality houses undergoing renovation. These homes, plus several new lots, have already sold, ahead of civil works starting this autumn. Titles are on track for release at the end of this year. Sections at Citrus Avenue Stage 2 range from 350m² ($549,000) to 761m² ($779,000). Details are available online, go to Vibe Group’s website. With considered trees and planting, spaces that can be shared by vehicles and pedestrians and with safety and sustainability principles guiding the plan, there is much to admire here. Aaron says demand for the Citrus Avenue lifestyle is coming from both Waihi locals and families looking for a relaxing holiday home at the beach. Vibe Group has a number of other exciting developments on the market including Woodstock Villas, catering to the Hamilton market with upper end, low maintenance apartment living, across three levels with lifts. First home buyers, particularly those working at Waikato Hospital, may be interested in Vibe Group’s Ruakiwi Townhouses, with views over the city in an ideal location. “We’re also about to start Awa View Estate, which is similar in concept to Woodstock Villas, offering high end, low maintenance two storey townhouses with lifts, and with river and gully views.” Also under construction are new single-storey offices in Hamilton’s CBD. Vibe Group will be taking up one of the spaces, with another business joining them in the building. “It will be open plan in style. It’s consistent with our approach on living: we think being able to share ideas with each other is better than having closed off spaces.” Website: Rmiinteriors.co.nz • Contact: Renee Murphy - 0277125223 Follow me: Instagram - @reneemurphyinteriors
