94 | BUILDING Landmark Homes Manawatū-Wanganui T T Karen Phelps Designs that reflect owners’ aesthetics The franchise’s expertise has been recognised within the industry. “I am passionate about people living in homes that really spark joy and speak to them personally – not confined to what the next owner will want.” Landmark Homes Manawatū-Wanganui is offering its award-winning building services to prospective homeowners at the prestigious Centennial Park development in Palmerston North, with limited sections still available in the final stages of this sought-after location. The development, surrounded by the Manawatu Golf Course, Hokowhitu Lagoon and Manawatu River walkways, offers people a unique lifestyle opportunity in the heart of Hokowhitu, one of the city’s most desirable areas, says Amy Coombes, who owns Landmark Homes Manawatū-Wanganui with husband Ryan. “We actually live near the development over the other side of the lagoon and I can testify that it’s an amazing opportunity to be surrounded by other high-quality homes on the banks of the Manawatu River. It’s also very close to town, so the level of amenities is very appealing,” says Amy. The development is being completed in three stages, with a few sections still available in stages 1 and 2, while stage 3 is yet to be developed. For those interested in the remaining sections, Landmark Homes Manawatū-Wanganui offers a comprehensive service. “We can assist people with advice on whether a particular section is suitable for their needs, and designing the home that meets their dreams and budget,” explains Amy, who provides in-house interior design services for clients. The company is currently constructing a striking two-storey, five-bedroom modern home in stage 2 of the development. Situated on a generous 1000sqm section, the property features two living areas and three bathrooms, with 208sqm on the ground floor, and just under 70sqm on the upper level. Landmark Homes Manawatū-Wanganui has already completed one home in the development earlier this year – a modified Denver plan clad in Linea weatherboard that offers a modern take on a traditional look. The two-storey, 224sqm home sits on a 400sqm section, and includes immaculate landscaping with an integrated rain garden. “They were very true to their personal aesthetic and loved a light colour palette. It is a build that really resonates with them, something I’m passionate about. I think a home should be a reflection of the occupants, and this is a lovely, elegant home,” says Amy. The franchise’s expertise has been recognised within the industry – it won the TIDA Group Home Builder Bathroom of the Year 2024 for an ensuite bathroom, with another project securing the Runner-Up award in the same category. “I am passionate about people living in homes that really spark joy and speak to them personally – not confined to what the next owner will want,” explains Amy, who collaborates directly with clients on both interior and exterior specifications, guiding them through the process to reduce what she terms “decision fatigue” throughout the build. This hands-on approach characterises the company’s operations. Ryan, who has over 20 years of industry knowledge, leads the construction side of the business as the QS/Quality Controller. “We’re deeply involved with our clients from the moment they walk in our door,” says Ryan. “Through every step of the design and construction process to the point of handover, we take great pleasure in ensuring that every part is achieved with minimal disruption, and that people enjoy the journey.” Landmark Homes Manawatū-Wanganui offers custom design-and-build services, ready-to-build plans, remove-and-rebuild options, and house-and-land packages. It also provides feasibility assessments for those looking to develop their own sites. The company is looking ahead to a stunning new Show Home at 112 Churcher Street, Feilding. Opening soon, this property showcases their renowned quality and design expertise, which has established this franchise as a leader in residential construction in Manawatu. Currently for sale, this home offers astute buyers a highly specified Landmark Home at a significant discount. Owners or investors, call today for details.
