46 | Premiere development standing out in Nelson The initial development comprises 300 lots, each ranging between 600 and 1200sqm. Bayview Nelson T T Anne Boswell REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT Positioned along the hills overlooking Tasman Bay and the Western Ranges, Bayview is delivering the Nelson region’s most ambitious and sought-after residential developments. Spread across two expansive titles of 40 and 45 hectares respectively, Bayview is more than a subdivision – it’s a vision for elevated living, designed to offer every homeowner a breathtaking view and a flat, engineered building platform. The idea for Bayview was conceived in 2017, driven by a clear need for high-quality residential sections within the Nelson City Council area. “The directors could see the opportunity to provide new, quality residential sections to attract people to live minutes from Nelson’s CBD,” project manager Simon ‘Dobbie’ Dobson says. “The site offered so much for Nelson in terms of scale, and with unmatched views across Tasman Bay, it is a stunning place that people could call their home.” The initial development comprises 300 lots, each ranging between 600 and 1200sqm, with a 400–500sqm flat building pad – an impressive feat given the hillside location. Engineering challenges such as stormwater management and geotechnical stability have been carefully addressed, including the upgrade of two key stormwater pipes beneath the adjacent state highway, and the installation of two stormwater outlets into the sea – critical infrastructure designed to future-proof the site and provide significant resilience. “Progress has gone very well and council has been very supportive,” Dobbie says. “The last small portion of earthworks for the consented subdivision are programmed to be completed at the end of the year, and we envisage it is a three- to five-year programme to title those remaining 177 lots. “We can now turn more attention to the 161 hectares of land along the ridgeline above Nelson City that was rezoned to residential in December last year.” Bayview’s exclusive salesperson, Daniel Reed of Bayleys, says of the 81 residential lots already titled, 75 have been sold. “There has been strong interest in the development,” he says. “There are no other sections in the region that have a flat, elevated position that offer sea views. It is well priced for what you get.” Buyers represent a cross-section of New Zealanders, from young families to retirees and professionals. “The sections cater to everyone,” Daniel says. “You have flexibility – people can bring their own builder, or work with whoever they choose. There are no group housing contracts attached.” Bayview’s appeal goes beyond the views. The development’s design includes a central recreation reserve, created in collaboration with Nelson City Council, and features excellent walking and cycling links to the city, which is five minutes away by car. The next release – 11 lots due mid-2025 – is already attracting significant interest. An additional 19 lots are expected to be titled before the end of 2025, and beyond that, market demand will continue to be met. Dobbie believes Bayview sets a new benchmark for the region. “It’s unique in its exceptional outlook and the flat, geotechnically engineered sites,” he says. “It is new, resilient infrastructure at the highest standard.” 0800 EDRIDGE | 155 Maungatapu Road, Rai Valley, Marlborough 7195 | www.edridgecontracting.co.nz • Subdivision Infrastructure - Earthworks, Roading and Drainage • GPS Machine Control & Survey Capabilities • House Site Construction • 3 Water, Power & Communication Installation • Onsite Mobile Crushing & Screening • Timber, Concrete & Gabion Retaining Wall Construction Edridge Contracting is a leading provider of comprehensive roading, infrastructure and civil engineering services along with quarry supplies, proudly serving the Nelson-Marlborough region.
