Property & Construction | Workotel Riccarton
Accommodating Christchurch Accommodation and housing in Christchurch is an ongoing problem, but the Artmatic Holdings team, led by Shane Kennedy and Jason Whitelaw, has taken the bull by the horns and created something that is an asset to the rebuild of Canterbury. Workotel is the first official Christchurch workers’ accommodation and by all accounts has already been a success story.

The Riccarton property offers a wide range of housing for overseas and local trades people and also caters for displaced residents of what is still largely a broken city.
The two work well together, with the Workotel and Flemington Developments sitting comfortably side by side as part of more than $150 million of projects throughout Christchurch.
Workotel Riccarton offers:
Kennedy and Whitelaw are also the implementers of the new Flemington subdivision at Lincoln, as well as numerous new build and repair works across the city.
• A range of accommodation packages, from just $30 a night • 60 brand new cabins
When asked how such a heavy workload was moving, Kennedy says “A team that implements systems and strategies are the key to moving forward”.
• Self-catering cabins • Fully catered accommodation including meals
Both Kennedy and Whitelaw are the true leaders within their company. Jason Whitelaw heads up FDW Quality Built, as well as the main executive for the Workotel Project and Kennedy leads the Flemington Development, Fencing Industries and is well known around town for his Champagne Racing Stables, based at Riccarton.
• Free wifi • Barbecue facilities • Pool table
A strong working relationship Based in an office close to Christchurch airport, Kennedy and Whitelaw enjoy what they are doing and definitely know what they wanted to achieve. They are focused, resilient and fearless in putting together a portfolio of property and businesses the Artmatic team is proud of. Their portfolio is constantly growing and includes a joint venture with Singaporebased Tee Land in the Workotel Project.
They are also putting together a squad of New Zealand investors to bring to the marketplace Flemington, of which Artmatic owns 25 percent. Workotel Riccarton 17-19 Main South Road Riccarton Christchurch T (03) 348 5690 E office@workotelnz.co.nz www.workotelnz.co.nz
