New homes on the way
New homes for more than 70 people are rapidly closing in on completion.
Gowerton Place, Richmond, is a new community of 37 new homes that we hope to open in December 2021.
Gowerton Place, Richmond
Exterior painting is all-but completed and landscaping has started at Gowerton Place, ŌCHT’s new, 37-home community in Richmond.
Inside, most kitchens and bathrooms have been installed, and carpet and vinyl line all homes.
Scaffolding lines the last of the homes where exterior work continues at Gowerton Place.
Interior walls have been painted, save for a few touchups and final passes.
Outside, paths have or are being laid and gardens are being shaped. Plants sit waiting in the shade for their new home.
The living areas in new ŌCHT homes are open and bright.
Garden sheds are being built and installed while the private courtyards are being formed and fenced.
The homes all face the large communal space that’ll eventually have green space, parking and even a pergola.
Hundreds of plants are ready to be laid out at Gowerton Place.
Some also face red zoned land, adding more green, open spaces to the community vista.
The development is made up of 34 one-bedroom units, and one each of 2-bed, 3-bed and 4-bed units.
The homes at Gowerton Place are designed to achieve at least a New Zealand Green Building Council Homestar 6 rating.
They’re built as six two-storey blocks.

Meanwhile at Coles Place, interior and exterior work on 33 new homes continues at pace.
The new homes at Coles Place replace an old, cold complex.
The buildings are roofed and cladded but there’s scaffolding just about everywhere as exterior work continues.
The interiors are at various stages of completion. Some are gibbed and swarming with sparkies, others are still insulated framing.
Vinyl is being laid and wiring is being installed in new homes at Coles Place.
The development is shaped around a central space that’ll have plenty of greenery and parking.
Coles Place is set to welcome its first tenants in the first half of the new year.
