Ora Property Group is a Hamilton-based property developer delivering high-quality and affordable residential and mixed-use developments in prime and emerging locations across Hamilton and Waikato region. We manage the entire development process – from land acquisition and design through to construction and handover.
Ora Property Group also owns and operates Ora Property Management, offering a seamless, end-to-end service for investors. From tenanting to ongoing care and maintenance, we manage the full lifecycle of every property with the same level of precision and attention to detail we bring to our developments.
Yes. All our residential properties are fully turnkey — meaning they are move-in ready. From landscaping to final finishes included. There are no hidden costs or unexpected extras.
For our commercial and retail developments, we deliver a high-quality base build. This allows business owners the flexibility to design and fit out the space to suit their brand and operational needs. Our spaces are designed to be future-ready, making fitouts more efficient and cost-effective.
Absolutely! We guide first-home buyers through every step of the process and can connect you with trusted mortgage advisors, lawyers, and support for KiwiSaver use and First Home Grants.
Simply register your interest online or get in touch with our team. Once you've chosen a property, we'll guide you through the Sale and Purchase Agreement and support you through the finance process if needed.
Our developments are thoughtfully pre-designed to optimise efficiency and delivery timelines. We do, however, offer a custom upgrade package called “Ora Premium” and the option to add an additional room or bathroom if desired.
All Ora's properties are sold with a freehold title, giving you full ownership of your property and a share of any common areas.
Ora's Off-Plan developments are properties available for purchase before construction is completed. You secure your property early with a deposit, with the balance payable once the development is completed.
Ora's Off-Plan developments offer competitive early pricing and the potential for capital growth. Combined with quality design and efficient delivery, they provide a strong opportunity for both first home buyers and investors.
Yes. All developments operate within New Zealand's regulatory framework, with deposits held securely in our solicitor's trust account until settlement, giving you peace of mind throughout the process.
A 10% deposit is required when the agreement is confirmed. The balance is paid at settlement, usually funded by your bank mortgage.
Most developments are completed within 6–8 months. However, timeframes may vary depending on the scale and complexity of the development, so it's always best to confirm the latest completion date for each development. We also provide monthly updates on our website for each development.
While delays are uncommon, buyers are kept fully informed throughout the process. Your deposit remains secure in a solicitor's trust account (i.e. we do not receive a cent until completion and handover), and any updated timelines are communicated clearly with you.
Yes. Our Sale and Purchase Agreements include a sunset clause, which is standard in Off-Plan developments. It provides a buffer for unforeseen delays, such as weather or council processing, while also protecting you as the buyer. If a project extends significantly beyond the expected timeframe, the clause gives you the right to cancel the agreement.
Unfortunately, some developers have misused sunset clauses to cancel agreements in a rising market and resell at higher prices. At Ora Property Group, we don't operate that way. Our agreements are structured to prevent us from cancelling on buyers for profit.
