Investors buy into new community at The Lakes

Monday 16th of July 2007

The properties are part of The Landing subdivision, which covers 250 hectares on the city’s southwest flank.

The Landing’s first eight houses are being constructed by Universal Homes for The Lakes developer, Grasshopper Properties. Universal will design and build more than 100 houses at The Landing over the next three years.

Most of the first 10 homes will be available for their occupants by December. Universal Homes’ sales and marketing manager Mike Pearce says Auckland property investors purchased the eight homes with sales contracts on them at present. They were reached through Universal’s marketing database created when the company was previously selling the Atherton Heights subdivision in Albany.

There are “strict design guidelines in place” for the entire Lakes area, says Pearce, who believes this is what has driven the keen investor demand. The community plans feature residential avenues, recreational reserves, cycleways, walkways and a shopping centre.
