T T Kim Newth Fresh from completing the highly successful Gloucester Quarter development in central Christchurch, South Living is now seeing strong demand for their latest townhouse offering, Oxford Quarter. Combining high-end finishes with a prime location along Oxford Terrace by the Avon River, Oxford Quarter is attracting owner- occupiers and investors alike. With construction reaching the halfway point, three-quarters of the development’s 38 residences have already been snapped up. Astute buyers seeking flexibility, low- maintenance living or an investment-ready addition have been quick to respond to the quality offering. Options range from streamlined two- bedroom, one-bathroom layouts to more spacious configurations including contemporary two-level two-bedroom, two-bathroom residences with internal garaging. “We would argue it is one of the best townhouse developments in Christchurch, if not the country, with many factors contributing to that – in particular, the north-west riverfront location,” says Matt Williams, who leads South Living with Leon Simpson in conjunction with Mike Pauling. “We look for prominent sites that offer something different and a location where we would be happy to live ourselves. Oxford Quarter brings that all together. It would be hard to find a better position in the inner city.” With open living spaces framing picturesque views of the Avon River, it is easy to see the appeal of an Oxford Terrace address for those wanting a home in the central city, or a prime investment. Oxford Quarter is the perfect city base with so much within easy reach, from the new stadium to restaurants, retail shopping and river walks. Christchurch-based architectural design studio Figure & Ground partnered with South Living to create these high-quality, sustainable homes that complement the beautiful setting. Modern interiors and high-end finishes are a recipe for comfort and contemporary style. Drawing on their respective skills and experience in property/business development and building, Matt and Leon are proud to be positioning South Living as a trusted name in the Christchurch market and beyond. The two both oversee South Living’s evolving portfolio. Matt has a particular focus on business development including land acquisition, finance, administration and sales, while Leon handles the project management side, (quoting, contractor liaison, bookings and general site management). Together, they are a capable and committed team. Mike Pauling brings considerable experience across a broad spectrum of business backgrounds, including transport, demolition, and residential and commercial property. South Living’s Gloucester Quarter development has established their signature style in the city. Like Oxford Quarter, it features high-end finishes, detailed design and modern, functional layouts. Special touches, such as timber slats framing the staircase, study nooks, and generous living spaces have resonated well with local buyers. Matt says he and Leon are “extremely proud” of Gloucester Quarter. We are now completely sold out there – it was a great success and has put us quite literally and figuratively on the map. It is a perfect example of what we do. “Oxford Quarter offers a similar finish to our previous mid- to higher-end developments. We use quality fixtures and fittings, high-end appliances like Bosch, and also cladding finishes, such as cedar and Cerano-style plastering.” Andy Knight - 027 702 1055 | sales@boxitfoundations.co.nz RESIDENTIAL FOUNDATIONS • COMMERCIAL FOUNDATIONS
