132 | Creating a village where residents will thrive The majority of the homes are 115sqm, two-bedroom/single-garage duplex homes, and 145sqm two-bedroom/double-garage standalone villas. T T from page 130 LIFESTYLE HPA Group - Amberley Country Estate “We’re catering for those people who want to downsize and enjoy a modern, highquality/low-cost living environment within a community that embraces people of a similar age group.”. “There’s a fully integrated nurse-call/security/smoke-alarm system that is centrally monitored for peace of mind, and the villas are all fully wheelchair accessible. “All those things combined with the quality of the designs and tradespeople on site, means that these are some of the best retirement village villas in the country. I would be very proud and happy to have my parents go into a village and villa like these. As the project manager, it is very rewarding for me to be able to deliver such high-quality products.” Developing the lifestyle village in Amberley also ensures that family units, children and grandchildren remain close, rather than seeking facilities further afield. It also frees up valuable stock within the domestic housing market for people seeking larger properties. Encompassing 15 hectares, Amberley Country Estate is being developed over 11 stages, each with about 20 independent living units. “During the development we will also put in our main clubhouse building that encompasses swimming pools, gyms, café/bar, and consultancy spaces. We always do a temporary mini clubhouse right at the start of the project to cater for the first few stages of the development, so that when the first residents move in there is a central community space. “Once the number of residents increases to a certain level, we build the main clubhouse. We’re currently in concept design for that and will be commencing construction in the near future. “Currently, we’re just finishing off the final villas in stage two, but concurrently we are into construction of stage three. “There are eight villas under construction, and we’re completing two to three villas every month. Stage 11 is solely the aged care facility and we’re looking at quite a substantial facility here.” The majority of the homes are 115sqm, two-bedroom/single-garage duplex homes, and 145sqm two-bedroom/double-garage standalone villas, but the full range includes villas from 95sqm right up to 185sqm. All homes in the development are north facing, and that has been achieved with a good orientation that balances neighbourly privacy, with a welcoming community feel. HPA Group’s involvement in the project commenced when the land was rezoned in mid-2021, taking the development through the planning and resource/building consent process and now managing the construction phase. From its early days as a retirement village consultancy, HPA Group’s expertise has evolved to now offering a full end-to-end package for investors seeking their experience, guidance and support in the entire development of a retirement village and other healthcare facilities. “We oversee design and planning and manage all aspects of the physical construction process, and advise our investor clients on best practices within the industry,” says Hamish. “We specialise in creating communities that blend harmoniously within the existing community. We create that community through shared spaces, walking paths through the village, workshop areas to socialise in, with the whole development fully wheelchair accessible. “We know what creates a good community and longevity with the residents. We care 100% about our residents and want to promote them having their best life possible, for as long as possible.” Find us at: www.taggart.net.nz (03) 323 7085 PROUD TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH HPA GROUP We pride ourselves in the quality of our equipment and the condition we maintain them.
