Jennian Homes - Canterbury DEVELOPMENT Whether it’s a first home, a family upgrade, or an investment, Jennian Homes Canterbury takes pride in offering flexibility, transparency, and the reassurance of working with a team that knows the local market inside out. Jennian Homes Canterbury has been building in the region for decades, providing full design-and-build services and guiding clients from concept to completion. The company’s strong presence in Ashburton includes work in subdivisions like Geoff Geering Drive and Strowan Fields, where it is committed to creating vibrant, family-friendly communities, explains general manager and director Paul Jenkins. “They stand out because they’re designed with people in mind, and we focus on tailoring homes to suit local buyers, creating a sense of community with walkable streets and green spaces. We’ve got deep roots in the building industry and work closely with Ashburton trades so every build feels connected to the region.” Jennian Homes has 10 premium houseand-land packages available in Geoff Geering Drive. It’s the last street in this well-established, family-friendly subdivision, and the sections have been carefully chosen for their north-facing aspect and mountain views. While the company has made suggestions as to which house might suit a section, there is a rich variety of house plans available, and the team works closely with clients to ensure their new home will fit their needs. With help and guidance from Jennian Homes, clients can select the house plan that suits them, and still have flexibility with internal layout, fixtures and cladding, so when they move in it feels like the home they have always dreamed of. Not far away, in Strowan Fields, Jennian Homes has already completed 20 builds and has 12 new house-and-land packages available in stage 6 of this growing community. With sections between 525sqm and 700sqm, and dozens of house plans to choose from, prices start at $655,000 for a two-bedroom home. Like all Jennian Homes builds, these new homes will be warm, energy-efficient, and future-proofed, coming with a 10-Year Master Build Guarantee and exclusive 36-Month Defect Warranty. That warranty is underpinned by Jennian Homes Canterbury’s trust in its established network of skilled tradespeople. Builders, electricians, plumbers and landscapers alike take pride in their work, and together ensure that every home reliably reflects the best of Canterbury craftsmanship. Jennian Homes Canterbury knows that its team is its greatest strength. Manager Kate Moses leads locally with a hands-on approach, handling every detail with care and ensuring clients feel supported every step of the way as they make the decisions that give them the home they want. Once things are underway, Nigel Smith’s operational oversight guarantees projects stay on track as he works closely with the team in turning those plans into reality. From first-home buyers looking for affordable, modern options, to families seeking space, safety and community, or investors who recognise the long-term value in Ashburton’s growth, Jennian Homes Canterbury is well placed to meet demand and deliver homes that truly resonate with Ashburton families.
