ABOUT
Ora Regeneration Aotearoa (ORA) is a purpose-driven, housing-led urban regeneration company specialising in shaping resilient, vibrant, and prosperous communities.
ORA, meaning ‘life, health, and vitality', represents a changing paradigm in housing and urban development in Aotearoa, New Zealand.
WHAT WE DO
We work with values-aligned investors, communities, central and local government, Māori, Iwi, Hapū and other landowners to create homes that are regenerative in nature.
We also advise and project manage initiatives that create thriving urban environments through placed-based intervention and investment.
We operate as a property developer, as well as a consultancy service offering development management/directorship services and urban regeneration advisory/project management expertise.
OUR LIVING PURPOSE (MISSION)
Our well-being, and our future as a species, depends on restoring our relationships with one another, with the land, the water, the sky, and the other generative resources of nature that indigenous people traditionally considered it their obligation to hold and manage in sacred trust. The way we build and organise urban environments can either help or hinder these relationships.
Ora Regeneration Aotearoa (ORA) is a Living Purpose company that represents a changing paradigm in which those relationships are weaved together once again - enabling the planet and humanity to grow, prosper and thrive collectively. A Living Purpose company goes beyond ‘green’ and ‘sustainable’ - it has regeneration principles and practices embedded into the fabric of its operation.
MISSION
ORA's Living Purpose is to create conditions that empower communities, cities, and bioregions to continuously flourish amid ever-changing conditions.
