Find out why some of NZ’s leading property consultants are making open networks part of their development strategy.

Hear from some of NZ’s leading property consultants about why fibre is the first choice when it comes to installing broadband in their developments.

For property developers delivering multi-stage projects over many years, connectivity comes down to certainty - early planning, reliable delivery, and long-term support they can count on. We’re proud to be working with RCL GROUP on the Homestead Bay development in the Queenstown Lakes area. On the shores of Lake Whakatipu, Homestead Bay is a significant new community in the making, with 2,500 lots planned across 15 stages, plus local amenities and a retail precinct. Stage one is now underway, and we’re hard at work laying the open-access fibre that will support the development as it grows over the next 10 to 15 years. For RCL GROUP, the decision to go with Chorus came down to trust. With our fibre network infrastructure already nearby, connecting Homestead Bay is a natural extension of our existing footprint in the area. And with experienced local teams on the ground, RCL GROUP knows expert support will be by their side throughout the build - and long after the first residents and businesses are connected. This large-scale project builds on our previous work with RCL GROUP, including at Hanley’s Farm, where we supported fibre delivery to 1,900 lots. As Dan Wells, Project Manager at RCL GROUP, says: “Chorus already understood our business and the Queenstown Lakes market, which helped reduce risk for us from day one. With established network infrastructure already close by, and the local capability to support us on the ground, Chorus brought the certainty we needed for a long-term project like Homestead Bay.” As Homestead Bay moves from plans to community, we’re looking forward to playing our part in building the digital foundations that help people stay connected from day one - and supported for years to come. #Infrastructure #Fibre #HomesteadBay #PropertyDevelopment

Momentum is building across New Zealand’s data centre industry. That was clear at the Data Centre Leaders Summit in Auckland earlier this month. In the video below, event MC Andrew Green and international keynote speaker Nabeel Mahmood share their highlights from the day. Chorus’ GM of Infrastructure, Matt Bolton, also rounds up his thoughts on our role in New Zealand’s burgeoning data centre ecosystem. Reliable connectivity will be critical to supporting that growth. Our nationwide, open-access fibre network can help connect data centres with one another and with businesses and communities across New Zealand.

Long before this new community opened its doors, the foundations for how people would live, work and connect were already being laid. Simplicity Living’s 297-apartment Reiputa development isn’t just New Zealand’s largest build-to-rent complex. It’s a community that’s been thoughtfully designed with stability, quality and connectivity built in. For developments of this scale, the right infrastructure needs to be planned in from the start. That’s where Chorus has been proud to play our part. We worked alongside Simplicity Living and our delivery partner UCG - Universal Communications Group to help ensure high-quality fibre infrastructure was designed and delivered in step with the build. So, when the first residents started moving in, the open-access broadband connectivity they rely on to live, work, learn and play was ready from day one. Reiputa, located in Auckland’s Mt Wellington, is an exciting example of housing, infrastructure and long-term thinking coming together to support the city’s growth. With Simplicity Living continuing to progress a strong pipeline of developments across Aotearoa, we’re looking forward to supporting more projects as they move from plans, to places, to communities.
