## Resource

Arvida is pouring $230 million into a massive new retirement village in Havelock North, featuring 187 villas and 40 care suites — part of a booming trend as developers like Ryman and Summerset also eye the area. Set to break ground in 2027, this project taps into Hawke’s Bay’s growing demand for senior living, with the region positioning itself as a key retirement hub amid nationwide shortages for homes for those over 75.
