74 | BUILDING G.J. Gardner Homes Whangarei/Kaipara T T Karen Phelps Show home set to get people talking A hidden walk-in pantry/scullery and brass tapware are features in the kitchen. G.J. Gardner Whangarei/Kaipara’s brand new show home is guaranteed to get people talking. From the outside the 218sqm home at 57 Rock Ridge Drive, Kamo boasts a sleek modern understated exterior clad in white brick and Linea Oblique. But inside the home has been styled in with vibrant colour inspired by Andy Warhol complete with a curved purple velvet couch, brass tapware and a hidden walk-in pantry/scullery behind to name but a few features. “It will certainly be a talking point,” says franchise owner Michael Sudfelt. “It shows what people can do with a home in terms of décor to make it their own. It’s essentially a blank canvas achieved within a cost effective build,” adds sales manager Graham Franks. The home offers four bedrooms, two bathrooms and two living areas and is based on the popular G.J. Gardner Faraday plan. The result is a versatile property suitable for a variety of purchasers including families and downsizers. The Whangarei/Kaipara franchise is independently owned and operated by Michael and wife Shalimar. They have owned G.J. Gardner franchises for eight years and took over the present franchise five years ago. Michael is a LBP and carpenter by trade and offers around 18 years as an experience as a builder. Shalimar has worked for G.J. Gardner for over 15 years as a project manager and in head office. Both Michael and Shalimar says they are very proud to be part of New Zealand’s number one home building team and the Northland community. “We are a truly local business, providing work for many local businesses and tradespeople,” says Michael. They believe that what makes G.J.’s such a unique business is its vision to have every customer recommend G.J.’s to their closest friend. “If we can achieve this we will have a successful business,” says Shalimar. “Working with G. J.’s, people should expect that we will act with integrity, honesty and deliver a great home to be proud of.” Michael says the fact that G.J. Gardner has built over 23,000 homes all over the country and never failed to deliver is important in the current economic environment. He also says it’s a great time to build. “Product is readily available so now is the time to secure that dream home,” he says. “We offer a huge range of concept plans that can be adapted to meet the exact needs of customers or we can design something from scratch.” He says that in particular good opportunitieTs exist in The James subdivision at Three Mile Bush Road, Whangarei in Northland. From The James it’s just a 7km drive to Whangarei Central City and close to beaches, fishing, golf, mountain biking and road cycling. A large number of the sections have views to the east with morning sun being a feature for these properties. Other house and land packages are available at One Tree Point and Totara Parklands. G.J. Gardner Whangarei/Kaipara is also increasingly assisting customers with high-density projects. And it’s not just developers but also people who might happen to have a family home sitting on a pocket of valuable land due to planning changes. Currently G.J. Gardner Whangarei/Kaipara is building a duplex on a 600sqm site for a local couple and assisting some another family to subdivide their property and sell the resulting 300sqm section. Graham says a duplex could be built on this land giving a multitude of options including a property to live in and a rental or a property to help children into the market or two rentals. G.J.
