78 | ZB Homes - Abergeldie Estate T T Kelly Deeks Subdivision targets housing needs in Cambridge The ZB Homes showroom - the company has started construction on its show home at Abergeldie Estate, with construction on the first 10 homes beginning in the New Year. Cambridge residential building and development company ZB Homes is forging ahead with a brand-new local subdivision offering, Abergeldie Estate, which will eventually bring another 87 homes to town. Designed to meet market demand, the subdivision will include a range of standalone, duplex, and terraced homes offering exceptional value and functionality for a wide array of different clients. ZB Homes’ owner Zane Beckett bought this large plot, conveniently located at the gateway to Cambridge from Hamilton, from Cambridge Grains late in 2021. He immediately went to work on a three-stage subdivision amidst the lush green landscapes and, thanks in part to the quality of the ground, has already had the civil works completed and street signs in for stage one. ZB Homes’ general manager Kirsten Chisholm concedes 2024 was a tough year for construction, especially for large group-home companies, but the tight-knit team of 20 at ZB Homes has managed to knuckle down and keep moving. Despite the economic downturn, Cambridge still needs new homes, in particular smaller, low-maintenance homes on smaller sections, and this large plot gave ZB Homes the opportunity to deliver these to market. “It was appealing to us, because we could go over three stages, and we could do smaller homes, which is where the demand seems to be,” Kirsten says. “Banks’ tightened lending criteria has made our offering more affordable and more appealing, as has our ageing population. Retired people don’t want four bedrooms and double garages. They want a home they can lock up and leave.” Stage one is now selling and ZB Homes has started construction on its show home, with construction on the first 10 homes beginning in the New Year. This sees Abergeldie Estate starting to take shape and interest coming in from more people as they start to see what the community is eventually going to be like. DEVELOPMENT Abergeldie Estate is offering the perfect blend of quality and affordability in a desirable location. With homes starting from $849,000 and three different housing options to suit all types of requirements, it offers a rare opportunity to own a new home in Cambridge without the $1million price tag. Standalone house-and-land packages are smaller than the terraced and duplex options, with footprints ranging from 117sqm up to 170sqm and sizes from two bedrooms up to three bedrooms plus office. Meticulously designed for comfort, enjoyment, and to maximise space, each standalone home features a designer kitchen with stone benchtops and thermally efficient joinery. Four duplex house-and-land packages are available in stage one, and these all offer four TE AWAMUTU JASON KRAAYVANGER info@newvisionarchitecture.co.nz 07 871 5452 | 021 805 452 Proud to be the lead designers for ZB Homes www.newvisionarchitecture.co.nz CONCEPT PLANS CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS 3D RENDERING ∙ NEW ROOFS ∙ REROOFS ∙ GUTTERS ∙ CHILLER PANEL ∙ EDGE PROTECTION Proudly supporting ZB Homes 027 251 0369 jlroofing@outlook.co.nz JL Contracting
