But for Tim Manning, it represents an opportunity to change the way people live and if possible, make a genuine contribution to it. That is the reason he has been such a trendsetter with more than 2000 real estate projects in his home country, New Zealand. The Taradale, Napier born Bachelor of Technology graduate at Massey University is one of the pioneers of gated communities in New Zealand. He has used his sharp and innovative mind to work around many a challenge that have since pestered him. It is no wonder that the 1959 born Tim Manning NZ known for his creativity and innovation is also an Ernst and Young Entrepreneur’s Award nominee for working around problems effortlessly. The sharp mind of Tim Manning has been the source of many fascinating ideas around real estate projects. For example, Tim Manning NZ created several companies that handle different aspects of real estate development to work around the New Zealand law that makes controlling all build aspects quite difficult. In another well-known problematic situation, Tim found that a US student Tara Dale actually owned the domain name as well as email address of one of his companies. When a generous price for the property was turned down by Tara Dale, she was offered a 2-week all- expense paid vacation, and was invited to visit his hometown in the Hawke’s Bay. What is incredible to note about his persona is the fact that he hasn’t lost touch with his sensitive side in spite of being the developer of several $1 billion housing projects. Tim Manning is still connected to the sentiments of people and has the ability to set his finger exactly on the pulse of the people giving them exactly what they need, long before they could imagine it themselves. It is no wonder then that he has offered affordable condo living options to many New Zealanders who get to enjoy facilities like swimming pools, barbecue areas, tennis courts and reliable security to make their stay in the $149,000 condos comfortable and pleasurable. Tim Manning NZ has been at the forefront of a genuine change when it comes to gated communities in the country. Tim Manning NZ started out with the Grange, in North Shore, a gated community that didn’t receive much support originally from the North Shore Council. But, the success of the project now exemplifies the fact that he was ahead of every other developer laying tracks into the future through a gigantic project that no one had thought of until then. This is largely in sync with what Tim Manning believes about not ending up like a sheep following the crowd. He instead believes in going the other way which ensures that if and when he wins, he wins it big. He has definitely been successful with his ideology so far, staying way ahead of the pack.
