Help to name Omokoroa’s newest subdivision Local property developers Classic Developments and Western Bay of Plenty District Council are working together to create a quality subdivision in Omokoroa and are asking for locals to help give it a name. Classic Developments co-director Matthew Lagerberg says he recognises how important Omokoroa is to local residents and values their input towards a new name. “As Bay locals we completely understand how much Omokoroa means to people who live there. “We want this new subdivision to be in keeping with Omokoroa’s existing quality homes and blend seamlessly into this slice of iconic Kiwi paradise,” says Matthew. In coming weeks Omokoroa residents will have the opportunity

Government’s Special Housing Accord to help first-home owners into home ownership. Classic Builders is the builder, and Matthew says this is a chance for all residents to have input into the first stage of this development. “This is a great opportunity to help move and relocate young families and give them the opportunities our parents had when they were young. It’s about creating and holding onto the Kiwi dream of owning your own home,” says Matthew. “Omokoroa is undoubtedly a beautiful part of the Bay’s landscape and we are dedicated to protecting its familyfriendly reputation. Along with council, we want to preserve its ecological environment and support Omokoroa as being a desirable place to live now and in future.” Matthew says Classic Builders construct quality homes using
New ideas for new buildings in the CBD Modern working practices have taken different directions in two new Tauranga buildings, as the city’s central business district gets a makeover. The first is a new six-storey commercial and retail complex one the corner of Cameron Rd and Third Ave. The $40 million office building will span almost 7800m2 and caters for some 600 office workers. It’s a joint project by local landholder Manor Group TGA and Auckland-based developer/investor Watts Group Investments and is expected to be finished by the end of the year. Tauranga’s CBD has more demand for prime commercial space than it can meet, but instead of improving secondary space, developers are opting to build new. Central to the Cameron Rd building is a focus on co-working, with shared front of house areas such as meeting rooms, seminar rooms and break-out spaces for staff. One and a half floors have already been leased to a government department under a confidentiality agreement. The target market for the remaining space will be creative companies or small professional firms. “Typically these businesses have 10-30 staff and have

The 6900m2 building was designed by Wingate and Farquhar, with Warren and Mahoney designing the interior, after TrustPower, a growing utility company, decided it no longer wanted to be on the outskirts of town. Now occupied by 525 people, the building has no offices – not even for the chief executive. The heart of the building is a large atrium, which provides a lot of natural light, and provides a visual connection between the three floors.
