The Bay of Plenty is a high growth area because of the quality of life it offers. The large curving bay of golden sand beaches measuring 259 kilometres was first named by Captain James Cook while circumnavigating New Zealand in 1769. He dubbed it The Bay of Plenty after noticing the abundant food supplies at many Māori villages there, in stark contrast to the earlier observations he had made in other areas.
Tauranga is the the Bay of Plenty's largest city with an estimated 128,000 residents in 2014. The Port of Tauranga at Mt Maunganui is New Zealand’s largest port. Pristine beaches spread eastward from Mt Maunganui to Papamoa, Maketu, Pukehina and Pikowai and through onto Ōpōtiki in the eastern Bay of Plenty.
Tauranga was the birth place of Generation Homes in 1997, and the company has been instrumental in the early development of Papamoa in particular.
Tauranga is served by its own hospital, has hundreds of schools in the area and four tertiary education institutes – including a campus of the University of Waikato.
Papamoa has undergone huge growth in recent years, along with areas north of Tauranga such as Omokoroa, which should ensure that the Bay of Plenty Generation Homes team are kept busy helping new customers into quality houses for many years to come.
Ōpōtiki is only 40mins from Whakatane and is surrounded by beautiful surf beaches with easy access to the East Cape and Gisborne. There has been significant development in Ōpōtiki recently with the new harbour development and the construction of Whakatōhea mussel factory.

Through establishing and leading his regional team, Lyndon has delivered over 1000 homes and built a strong reputation throughout the Bay of Plenty.
As subdivision development criteria and town planning laws change, the Generation Homes Bay of Plenty business has had to not only adapt to both new building regulations, but also be innovative in the style of housing they build. His company has managed everything from a 10 lot subdivision through to 500 plus homes development. Developments which can consist of anything from stand-alone housing to townhouses and right through to apartments.
The region offers a diverse range of residential and commercial residential projects for private owners, investors and commercial partnerships. Lyndon is now actively engaged with growing the commercial residential build side of his business and has ongoing projects with local iwi, councils, retirement villages, family trusts and private landowners.
