I can see it being a very nice subdivision as it grows,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p><img  alt=\"Progress to date on the new subdivision looking back toward Napier.

Photo \/ NZME<\/p>\n<p class=\"rVZUAWgtAFijHNuRNP\" style=\"display:none\">\u201c[Construction happening around the home] does not really matter to us. <\/p>\n<p class=\"rVZUAWgtAFijHNuRNP\" style=\"display:none\">\u201cIt\u2019s a nice, new, warm home with double glazing. And it\u2019s going to be quite exciting to watch the progress of the subdivision. And getting new neighbours is going to be quite exciting as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"rVZUAWgtAFijHNuRNP\" style=\"display:none\">She said the subdivision\u2019s small supermarket and shopping hub, its elevation from flood risks, and proximity to Taradale and the rest of Napier made it appealing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"rVZUAWgtAFijHNuRNP\" style=\"display:none\">She and her husband were looking forward to celebrating Christmas in their new home, which they purchased for an undisclosed amount.<\/p>\n<p class=\"rVZUAWgtAFijHNuRNP\" style=\"display:none\">RGL Build owner Adrian Rigby said it was a \u201cpretty cool achievement\u201d to complete the first home, and his next two homes were almost finished. <\/p>\n<p class=\"rVZUAWgtAFijHNuRNP\" style=\"display:none\">Rigby said there was a lot to like about Mission Hills.<\/p>\n<p class=\"rVZUAWgtAFijHNuRNP\" style=\"display:none\">\u201cIt\u2019s a lot different from what we would normally get in Hawke\u2019s Bay for subdivisions &#8211; your standard flat paddock that has got no character to it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"rVZUAWgtAFijHNuRNP\" style=\"display:none\">\u201cWe have the hills, different elevations, and they have put a lot into the walking tracks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"rVZUAWgtAFijHNuRNP\" style=\"display:none\">He said the shopping hub was another appealing aspect, as it was fairly common for new subdivisions not to add new services and just rely on existing shops nearby.<\/p>\n<p class=\"rVZUAWgtAFijHNuRNP\" style=\"display:none\">\u201cFollowing Cyclone Gabrielle, Mission Hills is also giving people a great option to move to higher ground.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"rVZUAWgtAFijHNuRNP\" style=\"display:none\">Rigby said there had been a huge number of people coming through the subdivision to have a look, and it was not unusual to see 20 or 30 cars a day driving through.<\/p>\n<p class=\"rVZUAWgtAFijHNuRNP\" style=\"display:none\">\u201cEveryone is getting inquiries and there are a lot of sections being purchased,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"rVZUAWgtAFijHNuRNP\" style=\"display:none\">He said he had a great team of contractors that had worked with him, and he had another six homes lined up to build in future within the subdivision.<\/p>\n<p class=\"rVZUAWgtAFijHNuRNP\" style=\"display:none\">While Mission Hills\u2019 size could see it become its own suburb in future, at this stage Napier City Council is deeming it a subdivision.<\/p>\n<p class=\"rVZUAWgtAFijHNuRNP\" style=\"display:none\">About 95 sections have sold to date, and titles have so far been issued for 122 sections.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rigby Group, trading as RGL Build, has finished the first home marking a big milestone for the wider&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":138241,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[1558,9218,18399,5907,29434,71946,1888,21520,1345,8482,78,7239,2683,35479,117,111,139,69,94170,530,213,57477],"class_list":["post-138240","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-been","tag-before","tag-christmas","tag-completed","tag-enormous","tag-finished","tag-first","tag-hills","tag-home","tag-huge","tag-in","tag-mission","tag-move","tag-napiers","tag-new","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-paving","tag-residents","tag-sports","tag-subdivision"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138240","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=138240"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138240\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/138241"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=138240"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=138240"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=138240"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
