An exciting new commercial development in Omokoroa, known as The Village, is estimated to start construction before the end of the year.
The Village is being developed by Foster Develop Ltd on land on the corner of Tralee Street and Hamurana Road next to FreshChoice supermarket.
It will comprise a mixture of retail, office, health, fitness, food and beverage tenants along with parking.
Foster Develop are just as excited as the local community to have the opportunity to develop a much-needed town centre for Omokoroa and look forward to delivering The Village, says development manager Andrew Vincent.
