Tim Bartells
Developer
Managing Director
Born and bred in Putāruru, owner of the Bartells Group, Tim Bartells brings over 30 years of property development experience to Springwater Country Estate.
An experienced Retirement Village developer and operator, building a Village in his home town has special significance for Tim. He went to primary and secondary school in Putāruru and has family and many old friends and acquaintances still living in Putāruru.
Tim's “big picture” thinking has been the driving force behind the concept, planning and design stages of his developments and he is heavily involved in the architectural, engineering and project management elements.
As the guy who often looks at something that already works well, then asks: “how can we make it better?”, Tim’s vision is to propel retirement village living into the future, using design and technology to support the three pillars of Comfort, Community and Care, and he is committed to ensuring that the highest standards are achieved and maintained.
For Tim, building a Village in Putāruru is a special homecoming and he is committed to ensuring Springwater Country Estate will be a very special place.
