I had a look at the new Bob Scott village in Petone over the holidays. It's an impressive complex, much bigger than any of the other, mainly Wellington, Ryman villages that I've seen. Several 4 and 5 level buildings and foundations starting for more. Hard to avoid an "institutional" impression, I would think although it does look out to parks and gardens.

The first block looks to be completed - first occupants moved in during December. Ryman's numbers will get a big boost when it's fully occupied!
