92 | Attractive options for Southland home buyers Perry Lane comprises a total of 20 lots of 454 to 810sqm, with seven having been sold soon after the consent approval. Jennian Homes Southland T T Russell Fredric BUILDING Jennian Homes Southland is helping fill a shortage of residential sections with its Perry Lane subdivision in Waikiwi, North Invercargill. Named in honour of local World War 1 soldier Edgar Seymour Perry, Perry Lane is one of Invercargill’s newest subdivisions, with Jennian Homes Southland offering attractive house- and-land packages for nesting, resting or investing in a great family location. The area is zoned for Donovan Primary and James Hargest College, while a Woolworths supermarket on North Road is literally a minute’s walk away, plus a pharmacy, rugby grounds, Donovan Park and Rowena Jackson Retirement Village are also nearby. More widely, Central Invercargill has benefited from a recent large-scale redevelopment that includes a new mall, two new multi-storey hotels and a new multi-storey office block. Invercargill and its environs also offer many attractions, high-quality amenities and facilities, a direct jet link to Auckland, and is one of the most affordable cities in New Zealand for homeownership or renting. Consented early 2025, Perry Lane comprises a total of 20 lots of 454 to 810sqm, with seven having been sold soon after the consent approval. Jennian Homes Southland is a multiple House of the Year award-winning franchise owned and run by brothers Carl and Shane Hamilton, who have owned it for 15 years. Carl is a qualified builder, who has worked in New Zealand and overseas, and Shane is a qualified architectural draughtsman (NZCAD) with previous experience working in a local architectural practice. They were motivated to develop the land, previously occupied by an Adventist school, due to a “desperate” shortage of premium sections. “We finalised plans for the development at the end of 2024, with site works starting about March/April 2025,” Shane says. “A lot of people are saying it’s a great location.” Purchasers have numerous choices of Jennian Homes plans to base a new home design on, or they can use Jennian’s bespoke designand-build service, with the option of providing architectural drawings independently. Perry Lane will be a quality subdivision subject to some design guidelines to maintain residents’ enjoyment of the location, while ensuring property values are both maintained and maximised. The franchise will be building a show home in Perry Lane, with completion aimed for mid this year. Featuring a generous footprint of 230sqm, it will include four bedrooms, two bathrooms and a double garage. One of Jennian Homes Southland’s builds was recognised in last year’s Southern Master Builders House of the Year Awards, winning Silver in the new home $750,000 to $1 million category. Located in Curio Bay, with sweeping sea views, the coastal retreat is a spacious, lightfilled 220sqm, three-bedroom sanctuary featuring a cathedral ceiling in the main living area. A well-appointed separate one-bedroom self-contained unit offers an equally inviting space for visiting family and friends, or for income. Jennian Homes Southland has won numerous regional Registered Master Builders House of the Year awards, reflecting the company’s overall status as being New Zealand’s most- awarded building brand at the House of the Year awards. Jennian Homes has held this prestigious title for several years, based on receiving more awards than any other building company in the competition, with the awards recognising the quality, design, and execution of Jennian Homes builds throughout New Zealand.
