Her mother was behind the development of central city office buildings, a hotel, apartments and a supermarket. “What made Rolleston particularly interesting to me was the opportunity to be involved in creating a town centre from the ground up. You don’t get many opportunities to do that,” Caroline says. “We love the district and the people, and we’ve always had a really good relationship with Selwyn District Council. There are good people there who genuinely care about the district, and we share the same vision of wanting to see Rolleston continue to grow well.” She says she hopes to be involved for the long term. One of the highlights of the job is seeing the businesses open, Caroline says. “You can work with a tenant for years, from the first conversation, through leasing, design and construction, so there is something pretty cool about walking back in once they’re open and seeing them trading.” She also loves seeing a site busy and being used by families and the wider community. “That’s when you know it’s working.” Looking ahead, another two stages will follow stage 2 in the Rolleston Fields development “The whole development has been master-planned from the outset, which gives us a really clear direction for each stage,” Caroline says. “Within that framework, we like to work closely with our tenants to understand what they need and, where we can, create spaces that work particularly well for their businesses. “That’s really how we’ve approached Rolleston Fields from the beginning. There is a clear vision for the overall development, while still allowing us to respond to the businesses and community that will ultimately use it.”
