Riverside lifestyle with Greymouth’s new boom: Smart Project Management
Be part of Greymouth’s new chapter in a high-quality development built for prestige and performance.
Greymouth Mawhera is undergoing a bold revitalisation. A resurgence of mining with proposed port infrastructure enabling Trans-Tasman trade, has seen the town diversifying into new sectors of health, medical, hospitality and tourism services.
At the heart of the revitalisation is Whare Rua, a new four-storey, mixed-use building located at 2 Richmond Quay featuring premium commercial leasing opportunities, flexible spaces, and residential apartment living.
Designed by RM Designs, Whare Rua is built for performance, presence, and prestige. Strategically located on the riverfront and adjacent to civic developments, the new future-focused, architecturally designed, mixed-use complex is set to become a destination for innovation, enterprise, and quality living.
Developed by Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Waewae and Arahura Holding, it begins to bring to life the community’s vision for a cohesive and revitalised CBD.
“Greymouth is evolving fast, and Whare Rua sits at the centre of this transformation,” says project manager Sam Summerton of Smart Project Management.
“The reasons to live and work on the Coast have been driven by nature, trails and raw wilderness. The town centre is now responding to the revitalisation with innovative eateries, crafts, medical facilities, retailers and hospitality. The strong sense of community and lower cost of living means there has never been a better time to consider Greymouth. Whare Rua offers the opportunity to live and work amongst this with unparalleled views from the green hills that surround the town, to the river and beyond to the Mawhera bar and Tasman Sea,” Sam says.
Whare Rua offers flexible lease spaces, making it ideal for professional services, apartment living, hospitality, and retail. On track to be complete in 2027, expressions of interest are now being accepted. Contact Sam Summerton on 021 0277 5243 or sam@smartpm.co.nz.
