📃🏘 Whānau, community & a dream made real.

Housing doesn’t always have to look like one whānau in one house. Sometimes it looks like two homes and a shared space — a 4-bedroom and a 2-bedroom — creating space for whānau to live, grow and thrive together.

A huge mihi to Neitana, Narnz, Renata, and young Taupuhi, from our youngest whānau in Te Rāngā Maro, for stepping into home ownership together.

Two brothers, a soon-to-be wife, a son, two first homes — and a whole lot of whānau around them. This is the dream of community, connection and collective home ownership coming to life in our modern papakāinga. What Flex!! Homeowners!

He kāinga, he whānau, he hapori.
Congratulations whānau — he tino mihi nui ki a koutou katoa!

🎙️🎙️Waiata Tūrei! Leah Te Whata & Wāhine Remurere!

It’s still māori music month whānau so we wanted to celebrate a wahine mīharo a wahine māia and her beautiful new track.

Wāhine Remurere!

We are lucky enough to have Leah Te Whata older sister as a kaimahi in our tari and talking to Leah sister ka rongo te admiration mō tōna tēina.

Just chatting to Felicity (big sister) you could hear how proud she is of the journey her sister has taken and the place that it may lead too. She talked of a wāhine who embraces serendipity, but whose greatest rewards come when she intentional in what she seeks from the world.

After winning the emerging artist award at the Māori Music Awards in 2016! Yes a decade ago! Leah Te Whata has gifted our ears a waiata that’s like a steady current beneath still waters, the track is gentle yet strong.

“I te wā i timata au ki te āta waiata i tēnei waiata, ka marama ahau he rongoā tēnei waiata. A mēnā e rongo ana āhau i te oranga i roto i tāku whakarongo atu ki te waiata me ngā kupu. kāore e kore ka pērā hoki ētahi atu wāhine ētahi atu tāngata i a rātou e whakarongo ana” – Leah Te Whata

He waiata mō te oranga , he oranga mā te waiata.
