Update #2 November 2025
We’re pleased to share that excellent progress has been made on site, with several key milestones now complete. The platform raft is finished, around 80% of the stormwater works are in place, all manholes have been installed, and the retaining wall is complete. Construction of the boundary fence is scheduled to begin within the next week.
Over the coming weeks, we expect to complete the remaining stormwater and sewer works. The service trench — including Chorus and Power — will begin next week, and slab boxing is planned to commence on the 1st of December.
The sun and views have been added bonus for site visits!

All steel portals are now installed on all slabs.
Framing is well underway on Homes 3, 4, 5, and 6. Scaffolding has been erected, and the first-floor cassettes are scheduled to be installed this week/next.
Framing has also commenced on Homes 1, 2, 7, and 8. Scaffolding is due to be installed tomorrow, followed by the installation of the first-floor cassettes next week.
We are now seeing strong momentum on site as multiple trades arrive and the development continues to take shape. We look forward to providing further updates as work progresses on this exciting project.
Update #4 April 2026
We’re pleased to share that construction at the Puriri Street development is progressing well, with several key milestones now completed or underway. Cladding has been completed, while downpipes and guttering are currently in progress. Stair installation is underway, and GIB installation is advancing well internally. Internal doors are being fitted, and a number of skylights have now been installed. Looking ahead, scaffold removal is anticipated in the first week of May, which will further reveal the finished exterior. We look forward to keeping you updated as the project continues to take shape.
Update #5 June 2026
We’re pleased to share that the Okiwi development continues to make excellent progress, with the homes now entering the final stages of construction and fit-out.
Flooring and carpet installation is underway, bringing the interiors to life and providing a clear sense of the finished homes. Kitchen installation is now approximately 50% complete, with stone benchtops currently being fitted throughout the development. Heat pump installation has also commenced, alongside the installation of vanities and other final internal fixtures and fittings.
Tiling has now been completed in the majority of townhouses, and all door hardware has been installed. Externally, substantial progress has been made with paving works, while all exposed aggregate pathways have now been poured. Internal fencing and landscaping are also beginning to take shape, helping to define each home’s outdoor living areas and enhancing the overall streetscape.
With both interior finishing works and landscaping progressing well, the development is really starting to come together. We look forward to sharing further updates as we move closer to completion and handing these beautiful new homes over to their owners.
