| 63 T T Bernadette Cooney Quality homes with a point of difference The thoughtfully designed Barrington Street modern townhouses offer a mix of five two-bedroom, two-bathroom homes, each with a dedicated car park. Ascent Property NZ DEVELOPMENT A boutique collection of six contemporary townhouses on the corner of Barrington and Deloraine streets in Somerfield is the latest offering from Christchurch’s Ascent Property Ltd, a design, build, and development company raising the bar across the city’s higher-density residential sector. With construction well underway, and completion scheduled for August, this development exemplifies Ascent Property’s thoughtful design and personal approach that sets it apart in a crowded market. Founded in 2017 by William Kerr and Nick Aubrey, Ascent Property has steadily built a portfolio of high-quality, bespoke residential projects in both Christchurch and Wanaka, where Nick operates Wanaka café Kai Whakapai. Nick’s expertise in logistics, business and project management complement Will’s background as a trade-qualified carpenter and quantity surveyor, a discipline honed on major projects including London’s iconic hospitality precincts, Savoy Hotel and The Peninsula. The business pairing brings a results-driven edge, and has led to five successful residential developments since its inception. Two sold in Wanaka and one sold out in Christchurch, with one available now and another pending in Idris Road, Strowan. “We build where we’d like to live ourselves,” Will says. “If we can deliver something with a genuine point of difference, in a good zone, it will stand the test of time, both as a home and as an investment.” The thoughtfully designed Barrington Street modern townhouses offer a mix of five two-bedroom, two-bathroom homes, each with a dedicated car park, and one spacious three-bedroom townhouse featuring both a garage and a car park. Priced from $580,000, these high-spec homes are designed to appeal to investors, first-home buyers and downsizers seeking low-maintenance, lock-and-leave properties in sought-after suburbs. The site’s corner position enhances the sense of openness, offering a streetscape outlook without the hemmed-in feel that is more common in denser developments. “There is a driveway in the middle of the two blocks of three, adding to that sense of open space,” says Will. Close to school zones, including Cashmere High and close to the Port Hills and the city centre, Ascent Property’s Barrington St development is a standout for all the right reasons. What truly distinguishes these townhouses is their generous size and clever layout. “A lot of developers are building around that 75 square metre mark, but all of ours are around 80 square metres with unit one at 85 square metres,” says Will. “That extra space, along with features like two heat pumps per unit, engineered timber flooring, and designer kitchens, really makes a difference for comfortable, easy-care living.” An upcoming Ascent Property project is four luxury, architecturally designed homes in a prime school zone, in Idris Road, Strowan. Designed for modern family living, each home offers multiple living areas and a spacious 227sqm floor plan. Marketing for Idris Road Strowan is expected from this October. “If we can deliver something with a genuine point of difference, in a good zone, it will stand the test of time, both as a home and as an investment.” Proud to support Ascent Property NZ Limited 0272 393 290 citydecorators2013@gmail.com 2013 LTD Crafting quality, building trust. 027 455 2554 mclaconstruction.co.nz New Builds | Renovations | Light Commercial Earthquake Repairs | Landscaping Solutions JC Scaffolding are Christchurch based scaffolding specialists.
