72 | DEVELOPMENT David Reid Homes Auckland Central WWW.KITCHENINSPIRATIONS.CO.NZ 09 239 0275 HELLO@KITCHENINSPIRATIONS.CO.NZ Full steam ahead for premium level homes David Reid Homes Auckland Central is the preferred build partner at Ashford Rise. T T Karen Phelps David Reid Homes Auckland Central is expanding its footprint beyond the city, extending its reach into Clevedon while simultaneously managing one of the busiest project pipelines in its history. Brett Christie, who leads the Auckland Central team, says the breadth of work currently on the books is remarkable. “It defies logic and we might be one of the few in this situation, but in recent months we’ve picked up enough work in Auckland Central that next year will be our biggest year in business,” he says. In the city, demolition and rebuild projects are driving much of that growth. David Reid Homes Auckland Central has work under way or in planning across Kohimarama, Mission Bay, St Heliers, Glendowie, Herne Bay, Remuera and Ōrākei, blue-chip suburbs where landowners are increasingly choosing to tear down ageing homes and start fresh. On the Herne Bay waterfront, it is currently working on a project that will replace one dwelling with two brand-new homes. The owner will retain one and has already secured a buyer for the other. In Remuera, two homes will begin construction later this year on land a family has held for some time, with the next generation set to build and occupy them. The move into the Clevedon market is something new for David Reid Homes Auckland Central. Known primarily for medium-density and high-end terraced housing in central Auckland, the company is now active in one of Auckland’s most appealing lifestyle destinations. “It’s quaint, boutique and a good area for high-spec family homes. It’s on the fringe of the city but with rural appeal,” says Brett. David Reid Homes Auckland Central is the preferred build partner at Ashford Rise, a gated community of nine lots set on generous 4,700 to 7,100sqm sections and located five minutes’ drive from Clevedon town centre. “With native trees, a landscaped pond and completed walking track already in place the first house and land package will blow everyone’s mind; it’s a premium level offering,” he says. Beside the Clevedon Town Centre, David Reid Homes is currently constructing a show home and a luxury family home in Clevedon Meadows. In neighbouring Conmara Estate it is offering house and land packages on sections of around 900sqm through to expansive lifestyle blocks of up to 32,000 sqm — ideal for those seeking genuine rural scale without leaving the Auckland region. House and land packages are available from $1.9 million, with larger four-bedroom, 370sqm homes priced from $3 million. All plans are fully customisable, with buyers able to adjust layouts, expand garaging or tailor designs to suit their section and lifestyle. The Clevedon location itself is a compelling part of the offer, says Brett. With Clevedon Village just a short distance from the estates, people have easy access to boutique shops, cafés and restaurants and an artisanal weekend market. Nearby attractions also include Hallertau Brewery, Vin Alto, the Riverhaven Artland and Sculpture Park, Kauri Bay Boomrock and the New Zealand Polo Grounds. For those drawn to the water, the Brooklands Boating Club and Pine Harbour Marina, just twenty minutes away, provide easy access to ferry connections into Auckland city. Brett believes the combination of lifestyle appeal and long-term value is resonating strongly with buyers who have tired of waiting for conditions to be perfect. “There are a lot of families that own land, particularly in Auckland Central, and we can help them unlock the potential and build really lovely homes. It can set them and their family up in the long term. For those seeking a more rural feel Clevedon has some great opportunities. The market is saying that now is the perfect time to be building a home.” Setting The Gold Standard In Electrical Services Over ten years' experience, covering South Auckland and north Waikato.
