102 | BUILDING Generation Homes Taupo: Central Cove, Kawerau T T Kelly Deeks Great lifestyle at an affordable price Generation Homes has worked closely with Kawerau District Council over the years. In the picturesque country town of Kawerau in the Bay of Plenty, Generation Homes Taupō is working in conjunction with Kawerau District Council to deliver 31 opportunities for buyers to enjoy a great lifestyle at an affordable price in the lovely new neighbourhood of Central Cove, in a lovely new home by Generation Homes. Central Cove is the newest subdivision in town and is situated close to all local amenities and many outdoor adventures, with the striking Mt Pūtauaki as a backdrop. Only nine sections remain unsold and Generation Homes Taupō has released a selection of house and land packages for these reasonably sized sections up to 600sqm. “You can get a really nice, modern, well appointed family home between $600,000 and $700,000 with our usual Generation Homes fixed price contract for peace of mind throughout the build process,” says Generation Homes Taupō managing director Paul Marshall. After a strong start to sales at Central Cove, Paul says like much of New Zealand, Kawerau has been pretty quiet in terms of real estate for the past 18 months. “These little towns out the back of beyond are always hit first during tough economic times, and they climb out again last,” he says. “We were born and bred in Reperoa, another little community, and I think little communities have a massive part to play in New Zealand and in our economy. Central Cove is a great little subdivision, and Kawerau District Council has been awesome to work with.” Generation Homes has worked closely with Kawerau District Council for the past six years, building a couple of duplexes at Bell Street then 29 units at Porritt Glade Lifestyle Village. As well as building for Kawerau locals, Generation Homes Taupō is also building in the small town for people moving out of the main centres and choosing the quiet life as they downsize into a warm and comfortable, modern and stylish new home. “Council has really put their money where their mouth is with these developments and they’ve been great to deal with. They never throw a discussion out the gate and they’ve been really loyal to us, and likewise us to them.” Generation Homes Taupō is proud to collaborate with visionary developer clients and has recently completed another large project with Ngāti Whakaue in Rotorua. One of four builders in Ngāti Whakaue’s long-term affordable housing development Manawa Gardens, Generation Homes Taupō started building in November and has already completed 18 new builds for Ngāti Whakaue young families, empty nesters, kaumatua and kuia to move in and rent at affordable prices from Ngāti Whakaue. Albeit a quiet 18 months, Paul says the market is now starting to shift and Generation Homes Taupō has recently signed up six new customers in a matter of a few weeks. “Our advantage compared with other builders is we give fixed prices, we build to a fixed time frame, and we do what we say we’re going to do.” Taupo & Mount Maunganui Proudly supporting Generation Homes.
