Ash Holwell is using his inherited property portfolio to build communities instead of personal wealth. In Whangārei, he rents commercial spaces to charities like Whakaora Kai. In Wellington, he founded two/fiftyseven, a climate-positive coworking space that supports community groups.
Ash also lives in a unique co-living home in Eastbourne, where a house has been adapted for four couples and their children. This arrangement fosters a strong, supportive community with benefits like shared parenting and increased carbon efficiency.
