Cohousing Development

Build community.
Then build home.

CoRoots is a full-service cohousing development company. We take communities from first conversation to key handover, all across New Zealand.

The Problem

New Zealand needs cohousing.
But most projects never finish.

5+ years
Average timeline for community-led cohousing projects. Many never break ground at all.
No dev expertise
Community groups can't compete with commercial developers for land, consenting, or construction management.
15+ groups waiting
Across NZ, from Auckland to Christchurch. Passionate communities with nowhere to turn for professional help.

Professional development. Community heart.

Modern Construction

Prefab and modular building systems deliver higher-performance homes at or below conventional construction costs. Better insulation, lower energy bills, faster build times.

◆

End-to-End Management

Land sourcing, resource consent, financing structures, construction, and community governance. You don't need to become a property developer to live in cohousing.

Nationwide Reach

Auckland. Wellington. Bay of Plenty. Canterbury. Wherever communities want to put down roots together, CoRoots brings the development expertise to make it happen.

The housing crisis won't be solved by building more houses. It'll be solved by building better neighbourhoods.

CoRoots is building the future of community-led housing in Aotearoa New Zealand.
