| 13 Delivering innovation Dryden Property DEVELOPMENT The Northern Glen Innes renewal project has seen 340 homes built on re-developed state-owned sites. Universal Homes was involved in building a variety of housing projects for the Creating Communities urban renewal project in Northern Glen Innes. Universal Homes senior project manager Michael Clark says the development worked in well with Universal’s innovative Living Difference process for delivering modern, quality designer new homes of outstanding value. “Universal’s proven innovative construction systems deliver on our Living Difference vision for customers providing them with exceptional value and outstanding quality,” he says. Working with Creative Communities’ designs, Universal Homes delivered over 45 standalone and terraced houses for the project. Michael says because Universal was able to call on multiple builders it had dealt with over the years it has the capability to upscale to deliver large quantities of high-quality housing as required. Due to current market demand Universal is currently doing so all over Auckland, working on its own developments as well as in partnership with other developers. West Hills is a Universal Homes development in West Auckland, designed and built to suit the demands of an increasingly busy Auckland, says Michael. “West Hills provides a lifestyle choice, allowing easy access to the CBD as well as the outdoor adventures of the West Coast. “With homes starting at under $650,000 making it the perfect entry point to the Auckland housing market or an ideal option for those looking to downsize. Packed with outstanding features and exciting smart design innovations, the houses are built to the highest of standards by Universal Homes,” he says. The development offers a range of apartments, terraced and standalone housing options for purchasers. There are several showhomes in the development that people can visit to get a feel for what is on offer including the low maintenance nature of the homes, energy ef ciency and future proofed technology including eco insulations, data cabling and keyless entry. Universal Homes also has homes available for purchase in Hobsonville Point and has developments in the planning stages at Northcote. Universal Homes has been building homes in New Zealand for over 60 years and has a proud history and commitment to quality, continuous innovation, design excellence, value for money and future focussed building solutions. As an indication of the high quality of the homes built by Universal Homes, the company has won numerous Registered Master Builders House of the Year awards over the years.
