Life at Rua Hills.
Rua Hills will be more than a subdivision, it’s a vision for how we will live, connect, and grow.
Designed as a forward-thinking residential community in the heart of NorthWest Auckland’s Redhills precinct, Rua Hills will integrate contemporary urban living with the beauty and calm of its natural surroundings.
From walkable neighbourhoods to thoughtfully curated green spaces, Rua Hills will offer a lifestyle that’s equal parts convenience, connection, and serenity.
Backed by the trusted legacy of the Hugh Green Group and designed in collaboration with some of Australasia’s leading urban planners and
architects, Rua Hills will set a new benchmark for sustainable and vibrant suburban living.
The development has been designed as a continuous 'ribbon' of four distinct villages, each with a neighbourhood centre, walkable amenities, and access to public transport. The community is connected by a defined transportation pattern of arterial, collector, and local roads under the Auckland Unitary Plan. A network of pathways will allow for easy walking and cycling access to retail, education, and recreational amenities. Public transport links will further integrate Rua Hills into the greater Auckland area, supporting sustainability and reducing reliance on private vehicles.

Te Pae Primary School
We are proud to be involved in the development of the new Te Pae Primary School at Rua Hills. Te Pae is a term from the Māori language (te reo Māori) meaning "the gathering place" or "horizon". It is also associated with a place of rest, an orators' bench, a place to greet people, or a site of importance and observation.
The school is expected to open in early 2027, initially accommodating around 250 students, with capacity to grow to 900 as the community expands. The project includes multiple teaching blocks, a hall, library, and administration facilities. -
