BEHIND THE BUSINESS Trinity Terraces is local development firm Rev3’s second residential development in the city, following an earlier development in Worcester Street. In April the company also announced plans for a multi-use luxury apartment, retail and hospitality complex, Cathedral Towers, to be built on the south side of Cathedral Square. The company is comprised of three locally based directors – Ivan Presquito, John Fernando and Vincent Ho – all migrants with impressive portfolios behind them. An electrical engineer and property investor, Ho was born in Hong Kong, but grew up Hastings before moving to Christchurch. A chemical engineer and property investor, Fernando was born in Sri Lanka where his parents own the largest advertising company, before studying in Sydney. An accountant by profession,
“This will be one of the biggest apartment developments in Linwood in recent years and is driven by the desire to make new homes fit within the budgets of ordinary Kiwis.” Presquito has an MBA with a Graduate Diploma in Business gained in New Zealand. The name is an acronym for revolutionary, elegant and versatile.
“We’re revolutionary because we wanted to improve the construction processes in this country which are expensive due to a lot of inefficiencies and wastage; we want all our design to be elegant because we believe affordable housing should still be elegant; and versatile because we listened to our customers and wanted to make them happy. “Rev3 also represents Revelation 3 in the bible, which is about remaining humble, keeping your feet on the ground and not forgetting about the past because it’s the past which shapes your future.”
