Why This Developer Chose Ashcroft for Back-to-Back Projects
Our client, a seasoned property developer with extensive experience in residential projects, had worked with a wide range of builders, from group home companies to independent operators. After years of managing diverse teams, she recently completed her second project` with Ashcroft Homes. So impressed by the process and the latest results, she promptly engaged Ashcroft for her next development.
For this new project, the client collaborated with Ashcroft’s Property Development Consultant, Phil MacEwen, early in the process. Phil conducted a comprehensive site feasibility report prior to the settlement of a prime piece of land in a highly sought-after suburb. The site featured a main house and a minor dwelling, which were removed to make way for multiple new homes.
Ashcroft’s team offered a variety of development options, to maximise the site’s potential. After reviewing costs, returns, and market demands, the client chose a combination of designs:
Two Highgate Homes: Positioned at the front of the section, these three-bedroom, 2.5 bathroom homes span three levels, offering spacious living areas that cater to buyers seeking larger residences.
Three Windsor Homes: Built at the rear of the site, these two-bedroom, two-bathroom homes are designed for modern living, appealing to a diverse market of buyers.
The homes were constructed to Ashcroft’s usual high standards with quality finishes, ensuring they stood out in a competitive market. Upon completion, the Highgate homes generated significant interest and sold quickly, helping the client maximise their return on investment.
I’d previously built with Ashcroft Homes and was so impressed with the experience and the results that I knew they’d be my first choice when I decided to build again – and they did not disappoint! From start to finish, the communication was always regular and succinct, keeping me well-informed at every stage. The entire team, from Sales to Project Managers, was knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely invested in helping me achieve the best result. The finished homes look fantastic – I can’t fault them! These homes are well-built, high quality, and low maintenance – something I really appreciate. Once again, I’m very satisfied and wholeheartedly recommend Ashcroft to anyone considering building!

Ashcroft’s lateral thinking delivers 50% more housing - and profit
Our client’s rental property was a four-bedroom home on an 800 m2 site. When changes to the Auckland Unitary Plan were introduced, zoning adjustments meant the property was now located in a Terraced Housing and Apartment Zone. This provided great development potential for this rental property.
Tight Space, Small Access? No worries!
A valued Ashcroft Homes client purchased a new property with the intention of developing the site, adding a new home which could later be sold.
Foresight and Resilience Brings Great Rewards for this Astute Developer
Our client purchased a duplex property in Otahuhu in 2013. While this was an ideal rental property, the site also had great development potential. Soon after purchase, our client approached the next door neighbour asking if they’d be willing to sell. They agreed.
