Greenhill Park an “exceptional” place to live
No expense has been spared and nothing
left to chance as a developer behind a
huge new subdivision in the north-east of
Hamilton ensures its residents enjoy an
amenity that is second to none.
By GEOFF TAYLOR
Jon Webb, a director of
Chedworth Properties, is
progressively developing
up to 2,000 sites across 136
hectares in north east Hamilton
known as Greenhill Park
– Hamilton’s first medium density
suburb.
Housing on a range of property
sizes is being constructed
with the aim of attracting a
diverse community of people.
The real secret to Greenhill
Park is the attention to detail
and its high amenity.
Jon and Chedworth Properties
development manager
Tony McLauchlan are extremely
hands on when it comes to
ensuring builders comply with
detailed design guidelines and
meet the requirements imposed
by a design review committee.
A linchpin of the suburb
is commercial development
Greenhill Park taking shape.
which has already occurred at
the Wairere Dr entrance to the
subdivision. The housing in
effect will surround the commercial
area which already
comprises a number of retail
outlets and eateries as well as
Lawrenson Group’s newest
restaurant/bar to open later this
year, a Radius Integrated Medical
Centre, Villa Dental and
Montessori Childcare.
Another huge asset will
be the pocket parks nestled
amid the subdivision, featuring
walkways and cycleways
and including an international
quality, uniquely designed
playground, a fitness trail with
seven fitness stations and a
petanque court. The parkland
also comprises environmentally
sustainable stormwater solutions
such as swales and wetlands,
capable of coping with a
100-year flood.
Chedworth Properties has
been one of Hamilton’s most
significant developers, creating
an estimated 5000 sites. Notable
subdivisions include Chedworth,
Fairview Downs, Sherwood
Park, St James Park and
Horsham Estate. Chedworth
Properties has worked alongside
Tainui Group Holdings in
its development of the Ruakura
Inland Port to plan its latest
addition to Hamilton, Greenhill
Park.
“We have owned this land
for a long time and it was really
important for us that it was
going to be a really good subdivision,”
says Jon. “The best it
could possibly be.”
Tony says Greenhill Park
is pitched as a mid-market
subdivision for buyers in the
$600,000 and $750,000 market.
Section sizes will range
between 300 square metres to
600 square metres. The range
of section sizes means it can attract
everyone from first home
buyers to retirees.
“It means we are attracting
a diverse community of people
instead of just one segment of
the community – that is one of
the great things Greenhill Park
provides,” he says.
“Smaller section sizes mean
we need to have better shared
amenity,” he says which is why
so much effort has gone into
creating the environment.
