Hawksview, a staged approach to advisory
Hawksview is a project that illustrates how advisory work often evolves over time. Atlas was first instructed in 2024 to arrange acquisition funding for two Bannockburn farms. That initial exercise in assessing purchase structures and debt options laid the groundwork for what has since become the Hawksview subdivision.
As planning progressed, the project shifted from acquisition into development strategy. The subdivision is now before the Central Otago District Council for resource consent, a point where capital staging, timing, and risk allocation become more defined. This phase requires a clearer understanding of cost baselines, forward funding requirements, and lender expectations.
In November 2025, we undertook a restructuring of the existing funding terms to ensure alignment with the revised project pathway. The updated replacement value for Hawksbrae, one of the dwellings within the wider landholding, now sits at approximately $8.06 million including GST Hawksbrae retreat. While Hawksbrae is only one part of the overall asset, the valuation data informs debt coverage, security discussions, and the broader financial model that supports the subdivision.
Hawksview shows the continuity of advisory. Acquisition strategy, valuation inputs, restructuring, and consent progression are not separate events. They are connected steps in a development lifecycle, each requiring its own analysis and recalibration. Our role has been to keep these components aligned with the client’s long term aims for the land.
