Development Management

ORA also provides specialist development management services to external clients, bringing the same rigour, creativity, and values-led approach that underpin our own regenerative projects. We work with community housing providers, iwi, councils, landowners, and impact-minded developers to shape and deliver projects that are financially sound, technically robust, and genuinely people- and place-enhancing.

Our experience spans early feasibility through to handover, integrating economic analysis, design leadership, stakeholder engagement, and commercial negotiation. Whether supporting a single site, a complex regeneration initiative, or a town-centre revitalisation, ORA applies disciplined project management with an eye toward long-term community value, affordability, and environmental resilience.
