GARDNER CANTERBURY NORTH EARTHWORKS CONCRETE PUMPING CONCRETE PLACING SPECIALIST FOUNDATION INSTALLERS T T Kim Newth Home buyers looking northwards New-home buyers or investors are welcome to visit one of the G.J. Gardner show homes at Bellgrove Rangiora, Ravenswood and Oakbridge. “Centres like Ravenswood, Woodend and Rangiora are very popular as the city is not far away and prices are still reasonably affordable.” While Selwyn District is undoubtedly one of Canterbury’s fastest-growing areas, first-home buyers and downsizers are also increasingly exploring options to the north of Christchurch. That’s according to G.J. Gardner Homes Canterbury North owner, William Mills, who says the northern housing market is buoyant with plenty of opportunity in the city’s northern suburbs and Waimakariri, which he describes as Canterbury’s quiet achiever. “The Waimakariri District has so much to offer,” says Will. “Centres like Ravenswood, Woodend and Rangiora are very popular as the city is not far away and prices are still reasonably affordable. There are great options for first-home buyers to purchase land and build. “We’re also seeing good demand from people wanting to downsize. They may have come off a farm and are looking to build a nice home in a good location. Places like Highsted in Casebrook, Prestons and Oakbridge are all really popular. Momentum continues to grow across Canterbury.” G.J. Gardner Homes has built over 25,000 homes in New Zealand since 1997, and is one of the country’s most trusted home builders. It has been operating in the Canterbury North area since 2003. Will took up the local franchise in October 2025, having previously worked with G.J. Gardner as a supplier. “What has always impressed me about G.J.s is their integrity, the strength of their brand presence in the market, and their business stability,” says Will, who leads an experienced franchise team covering sales, new-home consultancy, construction, project management, estimates, administration and accounts. New-home buyers or investors are welcome to visit one of the G.J. Gardner show homes at Bellgrove Rangiora, Ravenswood and Oakbridge. All are open from 12 noon to 4pm, Wednesday to Sunday. “It is a really good idea to speak to us early in your journey. Having that conversation helps us to understand what you’re trying to achieve and your lifestyle goals,” Will says. Investors, in particular, may wish to check out the Bellgrove Rangiora show home at 15 Homestead Drive, which is currently available with guaranteed leaseback for the purchaser and professional upkeep for the duration of the show home lease. First-home buyers will want to take a look at Parsonage Meadows, Woodend’s newest community. It’s an ideal starting point for smart living. G.J. Gardner’s lot 8 at Parsonage Meadows, for example, brings together a 464sqm section with a modern, three-bedroom, two-bathroom, double-garage home. This thoughtfully designed house-and-land package, priced at $779,500, also offers outstanding thermal performance. Another four-unit development by G.J. Gardner Homes in Dale Street, Kaiapoi combines quality living and convenience. Priced from $639,000, these well-appointed, two-bedroom homes are due to be completed by the end of September 2026. “All are single-level, low-maintenance homes, right next to the golf course. They are designed to catch the sun and built to a high standard.” The new Prestons Grove subdivision is another perfect choice for investors and firsthome buyers. A compact design-and-build, lot 16 is currently drawing a lot of attention for G.J. Gardner. A small number of attractive three-bedroom home-and-land options are also available in Belfast. “Get in touch with us so we can help you find the home and lifestyle you’re looking for.”
