Established in 2017 by Mike Gibson, Michael Wang and Mathew Borg, McCore Group has grown in both reputation and presence throughout the Auckland region, delivering an impressive portfolio of residential, commercial and multi-unit residential projects altogether valued into the hundreds of millions of dollars. The business was established due to their desire to raise the benchmark in the industry, Mike says. “We realised that there was an opportunity to do construction better and more honourable that what it was currently being done, in our opinion, so rather than complaining about it we decided to do something about it. “We honour our promises and ensure a positive, collaborative approach with all stakeholders on a project.” Today, the business employs a highly qualified team of around 140 tradespeople, whose skills are tailored to specific projects. “Our in-house workforce offers significant benefits to site coordination, surety of programme and quality, as well as providing support for our sub-trades.” A project currently in progress in Northcote that fits with McCore Group’s ethos is Arahia Residences, which are being built for developer Contexture. Designed by multiple-award-winning Auckland studio Monk MacKenzie, Arahia Residences feature best-in-class construction details and high-quality specifications and craftsmanship, adding to the standard of the high-end residential market in Auckland. A short distance from Auckland’s city centre, and set at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, Arahia Residences is surrounded by beautiful parks, playgrounds, and boardwalks, while Takapuna beach and shops are just seven minutes away. The residences comprise five, two-storey units that instantly impress due to their artisanal light-toned brick exterior with complementary dark-toned cedar and aluminium cladding creating a design that is tasteful yet eye-catching. The interiors are equally tasteful with the soft palette of the walls, cabinetry, tiles and floor coverings combined with the 2.7-metre wall height creating a peaceful ambience. All five townhouses have two upstairs bathrooms, including one master bedroom ensuite. “The developers put a lot of time into these units,” Mike says. “They’re certainly not your average townhouse; there’s something a little bit special when you stand in front of them and you walk through them. They are not all about speed and cost.” While many developers are cost driven, the brick, sourced from Christchurch, was custom ordered and carefully matched with an epoxy mortar of exactly the right colour. The garage doors are clad with cedar and are seamlessly matched with the surrounding cedar, visually defying the fact that vehicles are housed within.
