Called Westbury, the new neighbourhood will deliver 232 residential sections, designed around landscaped reserves, walkways and wide streets. The long-term vision is for a neighbourhood where lifestyle meets liveability, where people can build homes, raise families, connect with neighbours and enjoy a better quality of life. T T to page 76 For over 60 years, the McConnell family business has strived to deliver projects of enduring appeal, creating distinctive places that are carefully tailored to how people want to work and live. McConnell Property founder/director, David McConnell, is actively involved in the business, building relationships and projects that stand the test of time. Past projects include Teal, on Auckland’s Ōrākei Basin, a boutique complex that includes 26 luxury apartments; Kawarau Village in Queenstown (premium alpine living with two hotels and four apartment buildings); and Beaumont Park, a 96-lot development in Rolleston, delivered by McConnell Property in four stages over a three-year period. “Westbury is our first masterplanned development in North Canterbury,” says development manager Nick Mitchell. “It is such a special site that’s ideally located in West Rangiora, connected with the area’s rich rural and equestrian heritage alongside a fast-growing town with a thriving centre and great local schools, [including Te Matauru Primary School within easy walking distance of Westbury]. “Urban designer, Frank Pierard, has designed Westbury from the ground up. A lot of thought has gone into, for example, how houses are oriented for sun and to creating a network of neighbourhood pathways that will link with a southern reserve and lake area, as well as a neighbourhood park and playground that’s part of stage 2.”
