Our Place.
Our Story.
In Porirua, culture, people, and food intertwine to create an atmosphere that is both invigorating and comforting. As you explore the city’s vibrant streets, immerse yourself in the myriad of cultural experiences, engage with the welcoming locals, and savour the diverse drink and culinary delights that await you at Kai Tahi.
Kai Tahi has been designed to have a positive impact in Porirua, create a new experience unlike any existing space and to achieve a balance of economic, social and environmental objectives.
The Woolstore property management team has a strong track record in property investment and have a range of unique and heritage properties which are professionally managed by our small but responsive team of experts.
We have made significant investment in sustainability improvements across our portfolio and are focussed on creating considered and well designed environments – and supporting communities of like-minded tenants.
Our hope is to conserve and celebrate the cultural heritage embedded in the ‘place’ – between the city and the sea – where we hope to connect the arts and the people, re-invigorate the use of local produce, and open a link between the city and the foreshore to the public.
Kai Tahi has been created not only as a culinary haven and cultural nexus – but also to be a shining example of sustainability and community empowerment. By nurturing a symbiotic relationship with the community and the environment, we hope Kai Tahi will enhance the cultural fabric of Porirua, serve as a sustainable catalyst for positive change, be a source of pride and of benefit for the entire community.
Our hope for Kai Tahi is we are a place where people of all ages, all cultures and diverse interests will meet – resulting in a vibrant, inspiring and colourful experience for all. Our tenants are fundamental in bringing this vision to fruition, making Kai Tahi for a special place – and creating a dynamic hub in the Porirua community.
