Bledisloe Park – lights drainage... action!

Jennian Homes

BUILDING BETTER CONNECTED COMMUNITIES

Early in their building careers together, Vincent and Michelle Costello found themselves walking their dog every evening around new developments looking through each new home. This was two decades ago and where they first discovered their passion was not only building homes, but also their commitment to happy and connected communities.

Owner operators of Jennian Homes Franklin, Michelle and Vincent, believe that people who have a genuinely positive journey building their home are better connected and engaged in the new communities they call home. Moving into their new home is a celebration of pride and accomplishment of what they have achieved with their builder.

Michelle says: “The emotion of walking through homes people would one day live in really fueled our passion. Understanding that while every home was so uniquely different and designed to suit each family perfectly, each one had come together to reside together in one community.

“This led to an interest about how communities grow and families from all walks of life meld together despite having different ideas and passions as to how they would like to live.

“Walking happy and relaxed clients through their brand new home is of course an incredible moment,” Michelle adds. “Having a part in creating happy and safe communities is the overwhelming reason we go to work every day and is the over-riding purpose of the team at Jennian Homes Franklin.”

On setting out Michelle and Vincent decided that creating a journey which allowed clients the freedom and tools to enjoy and really be a part of forming their future, would be a focus and driver in their business.

Jennian Homes Franklin has an extensive catalogue of client testimonials which shows how genuinely honest and transparent their approach really is to building beautifully crafted homes.

Michelle emphasizes: “There is nothing better than seeing our clients enjoying their dream home and being immersed within their community. We take immense pride in this. ”

BLEDISLOE PARK – LIGHTS, DRAINAGE… ACTION!

The Metro Cricket Club and Pukekohe AFC hit the back of the net meeting an off-field goal (with on-field implications) expected to score well with local cricket and football fans.

Thanks to Auckland Council, the organisations’ home ground of Bledisloe Park is set to benefit from upgrades to lighting, drainage and irrigation.

On announcing the work (in August 2021), Franklin Local Board Chair, Andy Baker, said improvements are required for the ground to stay ‘up with the play’ as the region’s population grows.

“We are committed to having a healthy community that gets out there and stays fit and active. We all know about the benefits taking part in sport brings, not only on a physical level but also in terms of building a sense of belonging and community,” he said. “We have to make sure we have facilities that are fit for purpose.”

Upgrades are also in the pipeline for Navigation Homes Stadium in Pukekohe and Beachlands’ Te Puru Park, as well as suggestions work will commence at Karaka Sports Park in future, Mr Baker confirmed.

The final whistle, with regards to improvements at Bledisloe Park, is expected by May 2022.

Feels like Home.

Three years after welcoming the very first residents to Paerata Rise, demand to call this community home couldn’t be higher. What’s driving the demand to put roots down in Franklin’s newest township?

While Auckland’s current housing market is one factor, Paerata Rise isn’t just your average urban development. It’s oneof-a-kind ethos and impressive master-plan is why residents love to call Paerata Rise home.

A THRIVING KIWI COMMUNITY

No longer just a vision, the community of Paerata Rise is rapidly taking shape. Imagine what a thriving Kiwi community will look like in 100 years time…This is it.

Unlike any other urban development in New Zealand, each of the 4,500 homes in the township will be unique. Strict build guidelines protect the aesthetic integrity and quality of the community’s urban design, meaning residents enjoy high-quality living that is tailored to their lifestyle.

RIGHT ON THE DOORSTEP

Located 40 km’s south of Auckland CBD between Karaka and Pukekohe, Paerata Rise is just five minutes drive to Pukekohe town centre and SH1, providing easy access to all the amenities of Franklin – retail, hospitality and multiple recreation options. No large commercial operations are planned for Paerata Rise, instead light-commercial precincts within walking distance will offer residents a vibrant mix of boutique shops, cafés, restaurants and more, retaining an exclusive ‘village-like’ feel for the township.

Significant new transport infrastructure (including a railway station and commuter hub) is confirmed for Paerata Rise. This will improve northsouth travel, providing better access to local education, recreation and employment opportunities. If you love the thought of living and working in the same location, a move to Paerata Rise can offer this.

New primary and secondary schools are also confirmed. Paerata Primary School’s new campus opened in 2021 and St Ignatius of Loyola Catholic College will open its campus in 2023. Existing schools within the zone include Pukekohe High School, ACG Strathallan and Karaka Primary School. In due course, the existing Wesley College will move from its current site, replaced by a new Wesley College co-ed high school.
