A new townhouse development under construction in suburban Burnside marks a deliberate departure from the high-density paradigm so often seen in the new-build residential market – instead, Roydvale Reserve elevates space as a key defining theme. Nestled into a leafy corner of Roydvale Avenue and cul-de-sac, Juniper Place, Roydvale Reserve combines lower-density community living with a desirable location close to exceptional schooling, the airport and city amenities. “With only 27 homes, there’s a genuine sense of space, individuality and community that I think buyers will immediately recognise,” says Greg Powell, director of Prime Realty, which has already received a large number of registrations ahead of the development’s imminent release. “What I particularly like about Roydvale Reserve is that we haven’t tried to squeeze as many homes as possible onto the site. There’s more space around the homes, better outdoor living and a much more open feel to the development.” WFT Property, owned by Tauranga-based developer Wayne Wright, is behind this distinctly different residential project. Petrie Architects has created an attractive architectural style in step with the development vision, pairing contemporary brick and timber across individual colourways. Canterbury-based BP Construction is delivering the project on-site. “BP Construction is progressing exceptionally well – the scaffolding is coming down, and titles are anticipated at the end of January 2027,” Greg says. The masterplan offers a balanced mix of dwellings comprising three standalone homes, along with six three-bedroom and 18 two-bedroom duplexes. “What appeals to me is the mix of homes and the mix of people they’ll attract. We have first-home buyers, young families, professional couples and downsizers all potentially living within the same community.” Configurations are designed to meet a range of different living needs. The three-bedroom homes include 2.5 bathrooms, while two-bedroom options range from 1.5 to 2.5 bathrooms. A high standard of specification is the common denominator, with oak flooring in living areas, and stone bench tops and quality Fisher & Paykel appliances in the kitchens. Defining the ground floor layouts are openplan kitchen, dining and living areas with the downstairs WC providing extra convenience. Outdoor areas are oriented to maximise sunshine, with natural light also well-considered for indoor living. Decks open onto spacious courtyards or gardens that support family lifestyles and entertaining. Fully fitted wardrobes and tiled bathrooms or ensuites are a feature of the upstairs bedrooms. Dedicated linen storage, integrated laundry nooks, digital entry and heat pumps, all ensure these modern homes will be practical and functional from top to bottom. Roydvale Reserve includes garaging for selected residences, allocated off-street parking and dedicated bike storage. Priced from $675,000, value is another key drawcard for this development that offers so much. The location is, itself, a major attraction. As Greg says, Burnside has always been a highly regarded part of Christchurch. Roydvale Reserve puts people right in the heart of it.
