Think —
Outside
As Waikato presents itself as the country’s leading region for growth and opportunity, bigger, longer, wider and more ambitious thinking is required to reach the potential the region represents. A new way of thinking about where and how we live, work and play. Long-term, big picture thinking that connects economic, community, individual, and governmental interests to present a vision for all of our futures.
Te Awa Lakes embodies not only a new way of living, but also this new way of thinking about our lives here in our region, and a reorientation of what this region and this city can become.
Te Awa Lakes represents the northern gateway to a greater Hamilton. The entry point to a thriving connected economy; but more significantly, the start of a new repeatable nodal approach to growth that leads to a better, more livable and accessible city.


We’re thinking outside our own boundaries; outside the short term; and outside conventions.
And for those that choose to live at Te Awa Lakes we’re inviting them to think outside too. For them, this is a gateway to a life of action and outdoors, a life of community and connectedness. When your thinking about what’s next for you and your whānau, Te Awa Lakes represents a chance to rethink the usual choices, to rethink what feels possible, to rethink the life they want to lead, and to rethink what matters most.
That’s why, at Te Awa Lakes, we ask you to ‘think outside’.
