Ryman Healthcare says it is to invest more than $100 million building a retirement village in Tauranga.
The facility -- to include townhouses, apartments, a village centre, as well as a resthome, with hospital and dementia care facilities -- would be Ryman's 24th village and its first in Tauranga.
It is to be built on a 7.1ha site, close to the Bethlehem town centre.
The village would be home to more than 450 residents, and employ more than 150 staff, Ryman said.
Ryman managing director Simon Challies said Tauranga was home to one of this country's fastest growing elderly populations, and investment in new resthome facilities was needed sooner rather than later.
