DEVELOPMENT » McLennan - Penny Homes
June 2016 Business North
Strong commitment to quality homes Karen Phelps All the house and land packages that Penny Homes is currently offering in the new McLennan development in Takanini, Auckland, have sold before the first spade has been put in the ground. “We’ve had a lot of interest. It’s about bringing affordable land and home packages to the area, something Auckland desperately needs,” says Penny Homes managing director John Penny. McLennan will feature over 550 architecturally designed homes in total. With homes being developed in stages, over several years by selected build partners, purchasers can buy directly from their preferred builder in a specific part of the development or at a particular time. Working with JT Design Architecture, Penny Homes has produced designs to align with the McLennan vision in terms of providing variations in home size, type, materials and colour to cater for a wide mix of family sizes and budgets, as well as creating an architecturally appealing environment. The homes also combine sustainable, energyefficient design with a focus on neighbourhood interaction, says John. Penny Homes is presently constructing eight homes in McLennan, which will be completed in around six months. Penny Homes is a family-owned and operated company founded in the Central North Island in 1998 by John and Kellie Penny. Today, the company has offices in Auckland, Christchurch, Taupo and Wellington. The company’s services encompass creating unique land and home packages, as well as residential design and build, re-development sites, commercial projects and multi-unit developments. Penny Homes has been a member of the Registered Master Builders Association of New Zealand for 15 years. The company has experienced a great deal of success at the House of the Year awards, which is testament to the high levels of quality the company strives to achieve, says John. The company’s success is backed up by the many accolades it has collected both regionally and nationally, including many gold awards and a national title for the new homes category $350,000 - $450,000 a few years ago. The company has attended a number of national finals. “The awards are a reflection of the quality workmanship delivered by our company as well as the excellent design, functionality and style of the homes we build. Gold awards are awarded only to New Zealand Registered Master Builders whose entries are judged to be at least 80 percent above industry standard. “Here at Penny Homes, we hold a strong commitment to building only quality homes and are honoured to have this recognized,” says John.
Penny Homes is a family-owned and operated company founded in the Central North Island in 1998 by John and Kellie Penny. Land and home packages are a major focus for Penny Homes. The company is currently involved with land development and has just released 48 sites at The Lookout in Wellington, a newly created subdivision linking Domett Street to Glanmire Road in Newlands. The development offers great views of the city, Wellington Harbour, Somes Island and Petone. Another key point of difference is that the sites, which ranging from 380sqm to 1370sqm, are flat – a rarity in Wellington, says John. The company will offer a mix of one and two-level homes in a range of designs and already has interest in over two thirds of the sites. The company also has land and home packages available at Sedge Grove, Brentwood in Taupo. Of the 17 sites released recently only five are still available. John says that Penny Homes has a firm growth strategy set around the country and with significant land holdings in Wellington, Taupo and Auckland ready to be developed it will continue to bring affordable, high quality product to the market.
