The second round of Kiwibuild homes have been released at Kaimai Views.

The next ten homes are up for sale only a month after selling the first eight. All homes have three bedrooms and are priced at $500,000.

Classic Builders head of marketing and brand Kathryn Scholes says the first round of Kaimai Views Kiwibuild homes were very successful.

'We have sold six out of the eight homes we released five weeks ago with a lot of people waiting for the second release.

'With the first release generating such strong interest, we wanted to make the second release available for the people who missed out.”

Kathryn says the affordability of the homes is drawing residents to buy.

'Kaimai Views is a joint venture with the Western Bay of Plenty Council and was designed under the Special Housing Accord to bring quality affordable homes to the Bay of Plenty market.

'Kiwibuild fits perfectly into the Kaimai Views because the land has been thoughtfully developed in this mind.”

Kathryn hopes more Kiwibuild homes are built in the Bay of Plenty in the future.

'Affordability is a huge challenge in the Bay's property market so yes, being able to bring Kiwibuild to Tauranga is a huge win and we hope we do more.

'Tauranga's critical issue is land supply and until that is solved, KiwiBuild in Tauranga will soon be unachievable.”
