86 | T T Karen Phelps Thriving new community taking shape The development, which began in 2008, is progressing steadily through its planned eight residential stages. “The development has been well driven by good commercial and industrial growth in the wider community producing population growth.” Next Level Developments: Strowan Fields DEVELOPMENT Ashburton’s landscape is evolving with the development of Strowan Fields, a master-planned community that promises to redefine modern living in the heart of Canterbury. The ambitious project, spearheaded by Next Level Developments, is transforming 86 hectares of former arable farmland into a vibrant residential area designed to meet the diverse needs of today’s homeowners. “Strowan Fields has been well received and has had a good mix of locals, first home buyers, investors and out of towners relocating to Ashburton. We’re committed to getting young local people into their first homes, that’s been a big driver for us,” says Shane Kennedy, founder of Next Level Developments. Shane says that Strowan Fields is a project of significant scale and set to become one of the largest developments of its kind in and around Ashburton creating a new community that will serve the region for generations to come. The development, which began in 2008, is progressing steadily through its planned eight residential stages with good opportunities to purchase sections or house and land packages still possible. Shane says that Strowan Fields is not just about housing; it’s about creating a complete lifestyle. The development boasts wide-open spaces, beautiful streetscapes, and views stretching to the Southern Alps. It’s designed to be a safe, connected community where people of all ages can come together. “What we are bringing to the market is affordable housing so people can live and work in Ashburton,” Shane explains. “This focus on affordability is reflected in the range of section sizes available, from 400m2 to 850m2, with prices starting at just $190,000.” The development’s success is partly attributed to Ashburton’s broader economic growth. “The development has been well driven by good commercial and industrial growth in the wider community producing population growth.” Strowan Fields’ appeal lies not just in its housing options but also in its strategic location. Residents will find themselves within walking distance of Ashburton’s amenities, including supermarkets, medical centres, and an array of cafes and eateries. For families, the proximity to quality educational facilities such as Ashburton Kindergarten, Hampstead Primary, and Ashburton College is a significant draw. The development also caters to those seeking an active lifestyle and Shane says there are an abundance of recreational opportunities with everything from walking trails, bike tracks and tennis courts to popular fishing spots accessible to residents. As of now, Stages 1 and 2 have sold out, with Stages 3 and 4 finished and currently nearly sold out. Stage 5 is set to receive titles in August with limited sections remaining. The development offers not just sections but also house and land packages through preferred building partners including Jennian Homes, Milestone Homes, Mike Greer Homes, and Trident Homes. Next Level Developments’ track record speaks for itself. Since its inception, the company has completed over 1200 residential sections across New Zealand, with 900 more currently in development. Its portfolio includes successful projects like Flemington and Verdeco Park in Lincoln, and Caulfield Mews and Clearwater Springs in Christchurch. As Strowan Fields continues to develop Shane is excited to see it really starting to take shape: “We’re getting into the exciting time where a lot of recreational reserve areas are being built in the development and Stage 6 will have large reserve area with a community park. Further development areas beyond stage eight are in the consenting stage. Our vision at Next Level Developments is to lead the industry by providing innovative and sustainable land development solutions that empower communities and create lasting value for all stakeholders.” 0800 999 333 hello@do.nz www.do.nz Christchurch / Timaru Greymouth / Nelson Land Surveying / Resource Management Environmental Science / Structural Engineering Geotechnical Engineering / Civil Engineering Proud to be carboNZero certified PROUD TO BE INVOLVED WITH THE STROWAN FIELDS DEVELOPMENT
