Outstanding result which recognises a massive effort by Watene, Jordan and the rest of the Consortium team along with our fantastic Subs and Suppliers + the talented Consultant team and Client Representatives.
From early contractor engagement to provide input on the design through to tender and then delivery, this project has really delivered an amazing asset which we hope the client and residents will love.
🍾 PROPERTY INDUSTRY AWARDS 2024 // Congratulations to the winner of the Community & Affordable Housing Property Award sponsored by Kāinga Ora - Homes and Communities…
RICCARTON ROAD PROJECT
The completed development – a visually stunning, high-density FUD apartment complex – is the first of its kind for Kāinga Ora in Christchurch. The project was purpose-built to deliver public housing for older individuals or people with disabilities as there were few suitable solutions for these groups as the existing housing portfolio did not meet their modern living requirements. The project team consulted closely with stakeholders like Age Concern to ensure the design functioned well and would meaningfully meet the demand for older people requiring accessible homes.
Built on a site previously occupied by four earthquake-damaged homes, the development comprises a three-level apartment containing 15 one-bedroom units and five one-and-half-bedroom units for residents who need a carer or whānau support. Onsite amenities include a community room, communal laundry and parking.
“The calibre of this building has raised the bar for social housing. It resembles market quality and optimises structural design to increase operational efficiency,” said Andrew Evans, chief judge. “Consortium Construction has delivered a project that was hard to fault.”
