2018 ended on a high with the early completion of stage one of our Rangiora redevelopment project, meaning residents were able to move into their new homes in time for Christmas. The largest development of its type ever undertaken by Housing New Zealand in North Canterbury involves building twenty eight homes purpose-built for the elderly, to replace the nine older houses originally on the site. Designed by Rohan Collett Architects the new homes were completed five months ahead of schedule, a huge achievement for all involved. We are very thankful for the opportunity to deliver these homes early to the Rangiora community, and look forward to completing the remaining houses in the coming months.
