Mangawhai looks set to get a second retirement village after Alvarium Investments and Bupa NZ announced last week that they have bought 13 hectares at Mangawhai Central.
Bupa is one of New Zealand’s largest aged care and dementia care providers, operating around 40 care homes and 35 retirement villages.
A spokesperson says that while it is early days, and the focus is currently on the planning, resource consent and engineering assessments, the company envisages more than 100 single level units and villas, community amenities for residents and a care home that will cater for a variety of health needs.
“We will provide more details on the development once finalised, but we hope to be commencing works before the end of year,” the spokesperson said.
Meanwhile, Mangawhai’s first retirement village – The Tides – which will eventually comprises 160 single-level two and three bedroom villas and a 20-bed, premium care home, is on track to open its doors in June. The site is located north of Mangawhai Golf Course and west of Molesworth Drive, off Sailrock Drive.
