Te Paeroa Road

Te Paeroa is a large-scale, mixed-tenure residential development in Tauranga designed to deliver a diverse and inclusive community that responds to the region’s growing and evolving housing needs. 

With a strong focus on affordability, accessibility, and social outcomes, the development seeks to create a well-connected neighbourhood that supports whānau across the housing continuum. Through thoughtful masterplanning, strategic partnerships, and a commitment to innovation, Te Paeroa aims to set a benchmark for medium-density, mixed-tenure housing in New Zealand. 

Given the scale of Te Paeroa, the development will deliver a wide range of housing types, price points, and tenures to meet the diverse needs of Tauranga and the wider region. The site is uniquely positioned, with strong access to existing social infrastructure, enabling the creation of a well-connected and welcoming mixed-tenure community.
