First-release sections at Tuumata Rise look above the horizon
As Hamilton’s Ruakura Superhub Estate continues its vision with more major businesses announcing their intentions recently, February’s launch of the associated residential development, Tuumata Rise, quickly attracted sales in the first-stage release.
Tuumata Rise, Ruakura will support LIVE WORK PLAY at Ruakura Superhub, due to its close proximity to enhance this significant national development – stage one of two offering just 55 lots (individual and duplex) across a 10ha subdivision. The lower density development will eventually accommodate 130 homes, aimed at attracting families, business people and workers; Tuumata Rise will be home to a vibrant neighbourhood; designed around work, lifestyle and leisure with future neighbouring stages potentially housing more than 4,500 residents.
Tuumata Rise’s early appeal has highlighted several points of difference. Sections are decent sizes and priced well in a market-driven environment. Developers, Tainui Group Holdings, have design guidelines and a review panel in place to protect the quality and essence of this residential development. However, there is flexibility for people to bring their own perspective to Tuumata Rise.
This includes options to build both single and two-storey homes, plus duplexes on earmarked sections. With 36 lots in total for stage one 1a, Lugtons is marketing 19 bare sites. Only twelve remain available - sizes ranging from 435sqm to 621sqm, with prices starting from $413,250 inc GST
Lugtons’ Paula Wenham and Craig Reid are buoyed by the early response. There has been much anticipation about the release of Tuumata Rise by Tainui Group Holdings as part of its masterplan for the entire development. With entry via Powells Road, off Wairere Drive, location is key. Ruakura Superhub sits to the south and east. Tuumata Rise is also close to Waikato University, schooling, AgResearch, Hamilton CBD, Hamilton Gardens, Chartwell Shopping Centre and Claudelands Park. Waikato Expressway is within minutes, making access north and south of Hamilton quick and easy via the Pardoa Boulevard or Ruakura interchanges
Recent interest in this area in Ruakura dates back to 1995, following the return of a 605ha block to Waikato-Tainui. In 2006, Waikato-Tainui’s commercial entity, Tainui Group Holdings began planning a significant development that would future proof the wider region and benefit everyone.
This included the potential for an inland port, along with a major, mixed-used business development. As a strategic point in the golden triangle between Hamilton, Auckland and Tauranga – and more than 15 years in development - the inland port and logistics zone have proved to be strong magnets as key partners and major businesses came on board to stake their position in these vital hubs. The supporting infrastructure of roading and rail links has also contributed to the development’s success, continued growth and residential appeal.
The $60 million Ruakura Inland Port welcomed its first goods trains in August 2023; providing connections to ports in Tauranga and Auckland and a supply chain for importers and exporters alike. K-Mart opened its giant North Island distribution centre the following month, with Maesrk and Big Chill facilities following soon after and more coming on board. 2024 started positively with further announcements and job opportunities. In February, Refrigafreighters Ltd - a leading New Zealand operator in temperature control transport, storage and distribution - announced it would open a depot at Ruakura Superhub later this year. Last month, Sime Darby Motors NZ announced its intention to develop a major North Island truck service centre.
With many employment and enterprise opportunities to draw families, business people and investors into the area, the launch of Tuumata Rise was a natural progression for Tainui Group Holdings. Designed around a people-friendly neighbourhood - with sensitive streetscaping, green spaces, wetlands, trails and public places - this first stage is just the beginning.
Understanding Tuumata’s meaning is to appreciate what it offers:
“To lift one’s eyes above the horizon and on to a new future”
At Tuumata Rise – the future has arrived.
