Not far from Blenheim’s Wairau Hospital, just south of the CBD, the new development Waikārapi offers premium residential sections across a range of sizes offering flexibility for both standalone and duplex builds ranging from two to five bedrooms. Hāpai Housing LP (Hāpai) are behind the development. Known for their award-winning developments which have been recognised for their outstanding quality and urban design, Hāpai is a collective of iwi and Māori investors singularly focused on delivering quality housing outcomes and empowering enduring Māori success in the property sector. “Our residential developments are unashamedly about delivering long-term intergenerational pride within communities. “We know the richness in bringing young and old together for collective growth, which is why our neighbourhoods are meticulously designed with community connection at their heart,” says Development Investment Manager, Brett Ellison. “The name Waikārapi was gifted by Rangitāne and Ngāti Rārua. It describes the meeting point between freshwater systems and the intertidal flows of Te Koko o Kupe (Cloudy Bay). “This area was once a hub for shelter, housing, and sustenance, supporting diverse iwi communities for generations. “With Waikārapi, we are carrying that legacy of housing, sustenance and innovation forward, creating 94 residential sections, incorporating communal gardens (mara kai), a playground (papa tākaro), and open spaces at its core, a special place for us all to live, grow, and thrive, to be together as community (whanaungatanga).” Rangitāne, Ngāti Rārua, and Te Tauihu iwi have been proudly central to all aspects of the residential development including section layout, use of indigenous plantings, materials and placemaking. Central to the development was the pre- release opportunity for uri (descendants) of Te Tauihu iwi to secure a section to build on, or a land and house package through the project’s build partners. Both opportunities enjoyed a strong response, as did the quality, housing pathways available through strategic partner Ka Uruora. CMT Group are building the 40 two-, three-, and four-bedroom homes which are being delivered to whānau as affordable rentals and shared ownership opportunities, having already done the siteworks and civil construction phase of the project. They were appointed not only for their capabilities, but for their steadfast commitment to excellence and environmental responsibility. New Ground Capital is the diverse team responsible for the overall development management of Waikārapi. They’ve been involved since project concept through every stage of planning and civils and will continue to manage the development delivery through to completion. Designed to best-practice urban design standards by the globally award-winning team from Reset Urban Design & Landscape Architecture, Waikārapi has a strict design guide and covenants in place providing buyers with surety of build quality. Created to leave a positive legacy for both the community and the land, Waikārapi is testament to what can be achieved when there’s a shared belief that, over and above any targeted commercial outcomes, thoughtful investment can, and should, return positive financial, social and environmental outcomes.
