“The feedback that we've
got is people enjoy being
around the buildings, that
it looks like a village as
opposed to a shopping mall
and it's quite inviting, which
is what we were trying to
achieve. We have something
that will draw people to it and
create a vibrant space.”
The surrounding area is set
to have a library, an aquatic
centre, a bus interchange and
public square, along with a
mix of general, medium and
high density housing.
Strawbridge says latest
stages of general residential
zoned housing have sold
out, with a medium density
development in design. Veros
are managing the design
and consenting for Kirkdale
who, he says, are wanting to
develop high quality medium
density housing, with a focus
on urban design and amenity.
Strawbridge says Hamilton
City Council are due
to start the library build
this year, while Summerset
retirement village is close
to completion.
Nearby, Rototuna High
School is also about to start
design for new buildings and
Hamilton Christian School is
set to kick off a programme
for new classrooms , he says.
“There is a lot going on
in the area that is attracting a
large amount of enquiry from
residents and businesses.
This is certainly an exciting
time for Rototuna,” he says.
Veros’ participation in
the development started
in mid-2018.
The firm has been involved
from the concept design
stage, working through initial
feasibility and site investigations,
then driving design
and procurement, overseeing
construction of the building
contract and is also the asset
manager now the building
is complete. “It has been a
privilege to be involved in
the project with Kirkdale,
and provide Veros’ full cycle
of services from concept to
delivery,” says Strawbridge
who has been involved from
the start.
“The Village is a great
outcome for Rototuna North,
and is a project that Kirkdale,
Veros, Byrne & Enright
and Form Construction are
very proud of.”
