A stunning new residential apartment complex, perfect for easy, contemporary urban living, is the latest offering from Hutt Valley property development company, Palmer & Cook Developments. With a commitment to sustainable design and innovative architecture, Kākāriki apartments in Woburn, Lower Hutt is a prime example of Palmer & Cook’s dedication to delivering high-quality residential projects across the Wellington region for over eight years. Founded by Hutt Valley locals Adrian Palmer and Mark Cook, the company prides itself on creating residences that set new benchmarks in the sector. Palmer & Cook Developments has a portfolio of successfully completed multi-residential dwellings in Mana and Central Hutt, with others planned for Waikanae, Newlands and more. Specialising in a variety of housing types – including townhouses and apartment blocks – their developments cater to a diverse range of buyers, from first-home buyers to investors and downsizing owner-occupiers looking for low-maintenance living in a prime urban location. Located on Knights Road, Kākāriki consists of 18, spacious two-bedroom apartments and two one-bedroom apartments, all single-level, easily accessible homes across three levels. Situated just a two-minute walk from Waterloo Train Station, Kākāriki provides unparalleled convenience, with easy access to Lower Hutt’s CBD, local restaurants, cafes, bars, shopping centre, and highly regarded schools such as Eastern Hutt Primary and Hutt Valley High. Commercial manager at Palmer & Cook, Curtis White, says Kākāriki is designed with sustainability at its core. “The complex incorporates eco-friendly materials, including bamboo cladding and bamboo tongue-and-groove flooring, which are both durable and renewable resources. “The building also features solar power to cover communal electricity needs, along with e-bike charging stations to encourage greener transportation choices. We take sustainability seriously, and always look for ways to reduce our environmental impact while maintaining quality and design integrity,” Curtis says. Kākāriki offers generous floor spaces and designer kitchens with energy-efficient appliances, Primestone bench tops and eco-tiling products, ensuring every detail reflects a commitment to sustainable living. An outdoor living area adds to the spaciousness, providing views of the eastern and western hills. The development is designed to appeal to a broad market, and while the complex does not include dedicated car parks, there is off-street parking available, but its location makes car ownership less essential, due to its closeness to public transport and amenities. Palmer & Cook is a proud commercial sponsor of Trees that Count, an organisation that facilitates the matching of donated or gifted native trees with restoration groups throughout New Zealand. As the Kākāriki apartments near completion, prospective buyers have the chance to secure a place in one of the region’s most exciting new communities. A show home within the apartments is now available for viewings by appointment. “This is a unique opportunity to own an apartment that blends modern convenience with sustainable living in a neat, local community close to everything,” says Curtis. Kākāriki is the third in a set of distinct residential developments from Palmer & Cook, which includes the completed Marina in Mana and Ngarara Villas, which are currently underway in Waikanae.
