62 | DEVELOPMENT Yungulla Property Trust: Peakedale Estate Focus now on ‘pocket village’ for over 50s from page 60 Now that the third stage has been completed, the focus is on the village which will be called Asto Court. While many of the street names throughout Peakedale Estate reflect the names of the streets in the Peaks district in England, the development team also worked with local iwi, Ngati Hinerangi, to name Hinerangi Crescent. Now that the third stage has been completed, Callum’s focus is on the village which is the fourth stage of the development, and will be called Asto Court. “We’re just getting everything ready for building consent and hope to start earthworks next month. It will be a village, for those who are looking to downsize to a new home on a smaller parcel of land. “The requirement is that one person in each unit must be over 50 years of age. “Each dwelling will be on a Unit Title, and each owner will have a share of the central common area, which is managed by the Body Corporate. Each unit will be a high quality architecturally designed mono-pitch two-bedroom single or double garage home. “Some are duplex and others are stand alone. For us as developers it is a better use of land space, complements the existing development and provides an alternative housing option for an older population and at a better price point.” Your Business, Your Industry, Your News.

The market isn’t just one specific housing type. “Peoples’ wants, needs and desires from their homes change over time, along with their situation, and it is important that developers are able to respond by providing housing to cater across the entire market.” Callum is passionate about creating residential developments and communities that people love living in, but says it can take years to bring a development fruition. “To build a house is very easy, but to build a parcel of land is very hard and takes a lot longer and is a lot of work. I don’t think people actually see how much work and red tape is involved in building a subdivision. “They see new homes on new streets but don’t see the years of planning and engineering work required to bring it to that stage. “We have another development in Te Aroha, a small town on the edge of the Kaimai ranges. That development is now in planning. We have quite a special parcel of land there with two gullies and a wetland, and hope to re-establish the gully and wetland systems, bringing the native biodiversity back to how it was a hundred years ago. “We see bringing nature into the development as the ultimate amenity. The development will probably start Christmas next year, all going well.” PlaceMakers Thames have been operating for many years servicing the Coromandel region, as well as Matamata and other outlying areas.
