New villa development commencing at Palmerston North Village

We are excited to announce the expansion of Palmerston North Village and are pleased to confirm that construction will commence in early October on the new Metlifecare Palmerston North Villas development.

Up to 43 brand vew villas are being planned for the site which is close to the central city between Ngata and Carrol Streets, with first residents expected to move in late 2023.

Metlifecare CEO, Earl Gasparich, says, “We are thrilled to be partnering with Palmerston North Māori Reserve Trust on this stunning new development. It is an enviable location and future residents will receive all of the benefits of being part of a friendly and well-established village community with Palmerston North Village just across the road.

Even for the most able retiree, there comes a time when help is needed with the basics of day-to-day living. Family members often step in to provide support, however there is always a limit to how much time can be committed and the level of care they can provide. This is where Serviced Apartment living at can provide the ideal answer.
