Wai o Taiki Bay, Auckland
Next to the beautiful Wai o Taiki Nature Reserve, you’ll find a bespoke 31-home development created by RAWA for Creating Communities.
Creating Communities is a group of some of Auckland’s most experienced developers dedicated to rejuvenating Glen Innes. RAWA was engaged to unlock the potential of an underused site beside Wai O Taiki Nature reserve, with views across the bay.
Beyond development management, we structured an appropriate investment vehicle and sourced a pool of aligned investors to bring the project to life. The result was a 31-home neighbourhood of two-to-five bedrooms homes, delivered across three distinct zones.
The project exceeded financial expectations, delivering returns above forecast and laying the foundation for long-term value while contributing to the broader transformation of the Glen Innes community.

“Before the redevelopment, the site was underutilised, and the existing homes were not up to standard. A priority for us was to create warm, healthy, modern homes with architectural value that do justice to the beautiful location."
– Jeremy Waters, RAWA Managing Director
