In addition to delivering and managing our own development projects, ORA provides specialist development management services to external clients, bringing the same rigour, creativity, and values-led approach that underpin our own work.
We work with community housing providers, iwi, councils, landowners, and impact-aligned developers to shape and deliver projects that are financially sound, technically robust, and genuinely people- and place-enhancing.
End-to-End Development Capability
ORA’s experience spans the full development lifecycle — from early feasibility through to delivery and handover.
Our work integrates economic analysis, design leadership, stakeholder and mana whenua engagement, commercial negotiation, and disciplined project governance. We support a wide range of project types, including single-site developments, complex regeneration programmes, and town-centre revitalisation initiatives.
