Bethlehem
Shores

Positioned overlooking Tauranga’s inner harbour, the Care and Apartment building at Arvida Bethlehem Shores lifestyle village will provide relaxed retirement living, and complement the existing 273 architecturally designed villas at the site.

Currently in construction, the new 13,324m² facility will deliver 52 luxury 1, 2 and 3 bed apartments, plus a 60-bed care and specialist dementia unit.

Additional facilities include a café, lounge bar, whānau rooms, hair salon, flexi/craft room, communal kitchen and dining spaces, a secure dementia care garden, and separate courtyards for general use.

Arranged over five wings, and four levels with additional basement parking, and building’s primary structure is formed from highly sustainable CLT (Cross Laminated Timber).

JTB Architects has led the consultant team in a federated BIM environment to coordinate this unique and complex building.

Sustainable design principles have been carried throughout the project, with all apartments and care units designed to meet Homestar Level 7 under the strengthened Homestar standards.
