As far as building companies go we are unique in that we also have a division that develops land – our main objective is to create design inspired developments that offer so much more than you would expect.

We utilise the master plan philosophy, this means every house within our development has been designed prior to releasing the sections for sale. This is the ultimate in design as it ensures every house gives careful consideration to the section and neighbouring properties.

Better still because we develop the land, construct the homes and sell the homes all within the one company we can deliver quality house and land packages at very affordable prices.

Our house & land package offering is marketed under our Urban Ridge Brand. Come and see why we have developed near on 50 homes with Urban Ridge over the last two years – bucking the trend of the current economic cycle.

Urban Ridge: The story so far….

Part of driving a successful model is recognising that you have to continue to evolve as a company and with each development.   Urban Ridge is no exception, early on we came to understand that people wanted to feel like their home was unique. The trick was to combine this uniqueness whilst still delivering an affordable product with all the quality ticks.

We knew the development already had lots of advantages, it was one of the closest developments under construction near the CBD, it was next to the Gordon Carmichael Reserve and only a few minutes walk to shops. However this was not enough, the homes themselves had to stand out as well. Clients told us they wanted to feel like the home and interiors had their own personal stamp and reflected the lifestyle they wanted to enjoy. It was important that each new home owner feels like they are moving into their home designed and built for them alone.

The challenge was to achieve this personal touch whilst ensuring it was affordable. There was no dispute the Silestone benchtops had to stay, the Bosch appliances, the nice vanities and taps, the tiling, and high quality carpet. Instead of cutting things out and starting with a basic model, we understood that when people walked into an Urban Ridge showhome they wanted everything that was in it, not just the frames. So we talked to all our suppliers and negotiated some seriously good deals, combined with the energy and graft of our team who build the houses, the fact we own the land and sell the properties ourselves we were able to pass on our savings and offer the homes at a price that people could afford.
 

Urban Ridge:  The details...

Affordable Quality

Urban Ridge is genuinely unique in representing outstanding quality at an affordable price.  Situated within metres of Carmichael Reserve (a large lake nature reserve in Brookfield/Bethlehem Tauranga) the homes offer contemporary design on freehold titles. Standard specifications include quartz stone benchtops, Bosch stainless steel appliances and double glazing. This combined with solid construction materials (a mixture of linear weatherboard and plaster over aerated concrete) ensures these homes are finished to the highest standard. Your peace of mind is further enhanced by a 10 year Master Builders guarantee.

Central Location

The location is central to Tauranga CBD (approx 5 mins drive), and only a few mins walk to Brookfield supermarket, and via Carmichael Road  is only a short drive to the new Bethlehem shopping centre.  Urban Ridge borders the Carmichael Reserve which brings the open space of the country to the city.  This, one of the city’s major restoration projects, is a living ecosystem ringed by boardwalks where you and the family can walk and cycle around lakes where tens of thousands of plants are greening your environment.

Warmer, Drier, Healthier Homes 

Double glazing and helps create a warmer, drier and healthier home, for year round comfort.   Your home at Urban Ridge will also benefit from rib raft flooring delivering a unique foundation. A rib raft floor offers increased insulation value compared to conventional floors as it stores thermal energy.

Contemporary Design by Award Winning Architect.

We believe Urban Ridge is unique for its combination of affordability and stylish contemporary home design.   We have found that not all people want a standard ‘brick & tile’ home, so we developed designs to appeal to all people of all age brackets; people seeking homes with clean lines and modern fixtures and fittings.  We want you to love where you live and feel pride of ownership in a home that allows your personality to express itself.

Urban Ridge Stage Two and Three is designed by award winning architectural designer Will Tatton.  "Design inspiration for Urban Ridge came from seeing an opportunity to create a totally new way of designing for Tauranga" says Will Tatton. "I could see how we could get a better sense of variety by designing a whole streetscape. Each house gives a nod to it’s neighbours design in a very respectful way which isn’t normally possible."

Low Maintanance, Freehold title homes

All the homes have private pleasant outdoor entertaining areas, and surrounds generous enough for lifestyle but small enough that you do not have to spend every weekend maintaining your property.

There is no body corporate, just a private road shared by the properties in the Urban Ridge enclave. 

Fantastic Location

Urban Ridge is located only a few minutes drive from Tauranga CBD, but even better you are already in an excellent location with good schools, restaurants & shopping faciliaties either within walking distance from your front door or a few minutes drive away.

The bordering Carmichael Reserve is an asset to the area, a living ecosystem, ringed by boardwalks, taking cyclist and walkers around lakes and tens of thousands of plants.  You will love living in the city but with such easy access to a green belt. 

There are number of excellent schools, shopping facilities, restaurants, and activites in the Brookfield, Tauranga area.
