A farming family in Rangiora has decided to develop 270 residential homes on their property rather than sell it. The decision marks a significant shift in land use for the family, who have owned the land for 84 years. Instead of selling to developers, they are choosing to shape the town’s growth by creating new housing.
The project is expected to provide much-needed housing in the area while preserving the family’s connection to the land. Local officials have expressed support for the initiative, highlighting its potential to address housing shortages. The development will include a mix of housing types to meet different needs.
The family has worked closely with local planners to ensure the project aligns with community goals. No details have been released about the timeline for construction. The move reflects a growing trend of landowners opting to develop their properties rather than sell them.
