Showhome at 19 Anchor Cresent, Papamoa Contact Dee on 027 249 5372 or Jacinda on 027 216 7946 A new billion-dollar town centre planned for Pāpāmoa East will help to cater for the huge population growth tipped for the region, says Chief Executive of Bluehaven Group Nathan York. Spearheaded by Bluehaven, The Sands town centre will include 232,000sqm of new commercial space and surrounded by 11,000 new homes. The Sands will also include an aquatic centre, a regional health hub, substantial residential stages, a retirement village, and several commercial precincts, including offices, supermarkets and retail outlets. “The heavy lifting is done. We have acquired the land, master planned the site, have recently received the land-use consent and we have confirmed our first commercial anchor tenant,” says Nathan. However, there are still hurdles to overcome, he says, primarily the fact that the Pāpāmoa East Interchange, connecting the Tauranga Eastern Link (SH2) to the Wairakei and Te Tumu development areas, must be built first as around 80% of the development is locked down until this is operational. Since being established in 1993, Bluehaven Group has grown to become one of the largest land and property development companies in the Bay of Plenty. New Zealand owned and operated, Bluehaven Group manages the entire development process - acquisition of land, master-planning, financial analysis, council approvals, leasing, construction delivery, sales, marketing and property management. The company’s main development has been the Golden Sands area, which began with the acquisition of various farmland on the far eastern edge of Pāpāmoa. Bluehaven Group has introduced over 2300 new houses to the Golden Sands community including a range of suburban, retirement, urban/medium density, leasehold housing types and terraced housing options. An additional 2,000 new homes have been planned and consented and will be delivered in the upcoming years. Future stages will also see the introduction of significant and well-planned terraced housing and apartments. Chief Executive of Bluehaven Group Nathan York says intensifying housing is something the company is increasingly doing, to deliver more housing density to the market faster. “We can’t really make residential lots fast enough at the moment. They sell out instantly and pent-up demand continues to far outstrip supply.” Shaping the Bay of Plenty “We can’t really make residential lots fast enough at the moment. They sell out instantly and pent-up demand continues to far outstrip supply.” Bluehaven believes there are an additional 11,000 homes available for development out east including 3000 in Wairakei, 6,000 in Te Tumu and an extra 2000 in the proposed Bell Road development which is a new extension to Wairakei. It estimates that the Town Centre project will create an estimated 15,000 jobs – half during construction and half permanent. Subject to the Papamoa East Interchange opening in 2024, The Sands’ first stages were planned to open in 2024. Nathan says it will be one of the largest commercial projects for the Bay of Plenty in decades.
