What is The Square?
Why is it different?
Who should enquire?
What is your benefit as a tenant?
We succeed when you succeed.
​
Our goal is to help your business outperform a typical location by attracting more customers, creating a stronger surrounding business community, and providing practical support whenever needed.
​
From planning and fit-out to marketing and presentation, we work with you to maximise your potential. We carefully choose businesses that strengthen each other and ensure the entire development remains clean, attractive, and well maintained year-round.

Most business owners focus on the wrong thing
How to Explain ?
The hardest part is explaining our concept.
Through this website, we aim to show that we're not simply leasing out spaces.
We're creating a completely new concept, something that has never been done before in a place like Kerikeri.
Before you judge, we encourage you to take the time to read and understand our vision.
We believe that with the right mix of tenants and a well-maintained, service-focused building, customers will come and appreciate the experience. In turn, this will help retailers achieve results they could never reach on their own.
We are not solo players. We are a team.
We hope this website gives you a better understanding of what we're building.
WE DON'T WANT MORE OF THE SAME.
WE WANT SOMETHING REMARKABLE.
A place for businesses with character.
Opening in the heart of town.
Kerikeri is growing rapidly.
More families are moving to the Bay of Islands.
Â
New residential developments continue to emerge, tourism remains strong, and residents are looking for more quality retail and hospitality experiences close to home.
Â
The Square has been designed to meet that demand. Rather than creating more of the same, we are building a place for distinctive businesses, passionate operators and high-quality experiences that give people a reason to visit, stay and return.
Why
The Square?
A Place Designed Around Community
The Square is more than a retail development.
​
It is a carefully curated destination where retail, hospitality, public space and community come together.
​
With landscaped public areas, green architecture, apartments above retail, and a mix of small and larger tenancy options.
Â
The Square is designed to create life, energy and connection throughout the day.
A place to shop.
A place to meet.
A place to belong.

WE'RE NOT LOOKING FOR THE NEXT BUSINESS.
WE'RE LOOKING FOR THE NEXT LOCAL FAVOURITE.
Every town has places people love.
The café they won't compromise on.
The bakery worth driving across town for.
The shop they tell their friends about.
The restaurant they celebrate in.
We're building a destination filled with businesses people choose again and again.
If that's the kind of business you're creating...
Let's begin the conversation.

The examples above are only a starting point.
We're actively looking for exceptional concepts
that bring something new, different,
and valuable to The Square,
whether we've imagined them yet or not.
Why Kerikeri?
The Bay of Islands is one of New Zealand's most desirable places to live and visit.
​
While residential growth continues at pace, the town centre has struggled to keep up with changing expectations and demand.
​
The Square forms part of a new chapter for Kerikeri, creating a destination that reflects the quality of life people seek when they choose to live here.
NOT TENANTS,
PIONEERS!
A new destination for entrepreneurs, makers, creators,
and visionaries in the heart of town.
