Revitalising Kerikeri

Some locals feel that Kerikeri has been in decline, with many retail locations not well looked after by landlords. One of the prime locations in town, previously home to Bunnings and originally the base of New World in Kerikeri, had become worn down and was no longer a place to be proud of. However, local community members have joined forces to breathe new life into this location, aiming to transform it into the thriving centre of Kerikeri once again.

IMPRESSION OF THE SQUARE

Inspired by Citrus Orchards

Kerikeri is famous for its orchards of citrus fruits. The base construction of the new building incorporates elements of these orchards, featuring massive wooden pillars and beams. Between the pillars, green plants will grow as a green wall around the building, highlighting the town's rich nursery and orchard heritage.

New shops in Kerikeri

The Square is excited to announce the availability of nine new retail spaces at Fairway Drive. Our vision is that the national retail landscape will transfor into high-end shopping destinations where the experience is as important as the shopping itself. Retailers who can meet this demand are the future, fulfilling the need for entertainment, quality products, and exceptional customer service.

New shops will be established in the Bay of Islands, including quality food and delicatessen stores, fashion boutiques, outdoor and camping stores, marine shops, furniture stores, and beauty and health outlets, addressing the growing demand in the Bay of Islands.

The Vision

The team has a clear vision for the new building: it will reflect the character of Kerikeri and be a passive, sustainable structure. This exciting development aims to blend tradition with modern sustainability, creating a space that the community can be proud of.

Harnessing Nature

With our beautiful climate in the Bay of Islands, we sometimes neglect to pay attention to the quality of our buildings. In recent years, regulations around insulation have become stricter, but there is so much more we can do. By using natural elements correctly, we can create passive buildings that are comfortable and have low energy costs.

Embracing sustainable design not only helps the environment but also saves on energy expenses in the long run. By integrating features such as natural ventilation, solar energy, and efficient insulation, we can build structures that are both eco-friendly and cost-effective. This approach ensures that our buildings are in harmony with the stunning natural surroundings of Kerikeri, providing a comfortable living and working environment for all.
