Aaron Smith is a house owner in Dunedin.
He pays rates - so he contributes to the construction and upkeep of Forsyth Barr Stadium.
But perhaps he should get a little discount. For if anyone can make the stadium a success, it is Smith.
The 26-year-old has a game which sits ideally in the stadium. In fact, Smith has a game perfectly suited to modern rugby.
The Highlanders play a quick, up-tempo game and so do the All Blacks.
To be frank, he is the most vital player in All Black rugby today.
His energy, speed of pass, ability to spot the break, good kicking game, resolute defence - it all comes together to create a player who is untouchable at a national, if not international, level.
He is in the form of his life.
It is not too much of a stretch to say if Smith was not playing for the Highlanders on Saturday night, they might well have lost.
He created the two tries they scored. He made some key tackles. He kicked with accuracy from the base of the ruck.
After the playoff game, Chiefs coach Dave Rennie said Smith had grown a lot since he first saw him playing at Feilding High School.
''He is an absolute handful. He's got a great kicking game and he is in great form. It's pretty exciting for the All Blacks heading into the World Cup to have your nine in such good form.''
Highlanders coach Jamie Joseph was perhaps not as full of praise for Smith, saying the front eight had given Smith the platform to perform.
That is true, but he made the most of his platform and revelled in it.
Probably Smith's biggest asset is his speed. He can run fast, he can pass quickly and accurately, and he gets across to make key tackles.
On fast, hard grounds - such as at the covered stadium and, let's be honest, most grounds these days - it is all about quickness of foot and mind.
Smith has that in spades at present.
The man himself talked about playing the game at such an intensity he would be physically and mentally wrecked at the end of 80 minutes.
He achieved that, and more, on Saturday night.
So where does Smith now sit in the rankings of All Black halfbacks?
Since he first played for the All Blacks in 2012, he has been the starter in 36 of 42 tests. In these days of rest and rotation, that is an impressive record.
If Smith maintains this form for the next three or four years, he will clearly be the best halfback this country has produced.
At the moment, he sits at the top table with the likes of Sid Going, Chris Laidlaw, Dave Loveridge and Justin Marshall.
And the good thing about it for Highlanders fans is this world-class talent is going to play most of his rugby in their backyard.
Smith has just signed on for an additional year with the Highlanders and will be here until 2017.
His namesake, Ben Smith, is also contracted to the franchise to that year. The same goes for Malakai Fekitoa.
With the two Smiths and Fekitoa in the bag, the stadium is going to be the place to be for the next two years.
