COMPLETED PROJECTS
Our housing projects are centred around a commitment to delivering quality, efficient residential homes that contribute to the urban growth of Lower Hutt. 

We seek to partner with like minded organisations to address the pressing housing need in Lower Hutt across several sectors of the housing continuum. We also continue to improve our own portfolio of rental housing through targeted regeneration and expansion projects. 

​Take a look at our completed projects...
Located within 200m of Jackson Street in Petone, 17 Britannia Street is one of our best positioned rental portfolio assets for the low income elderly.

This project was an exciting and carefully considered infill project that provided a further 5 accessible units to the rear of the existing apartment block. We recognised that our current rental portfolio has no provision for those with accessibility needs, so these units were designed specifically to meet the requirements of wheelchair users. 
In a first for Urban Plus Limited, this Community Housing project is the result of a partnership between Urban Plus, Hutt City Council, Kahungunu Whanau Services and Te Kahui Rangitahi O Atiawa.

Built to the New Zealand Green Building Council’s Home Star-6 rating, each home will include above building code features improving the health, energy and sustainability for each property. 
This residential subdivision featured 27 two and three-bedroom, modern townhouses on fee simple sections.

The Lane development is located in the beautiful suburb of Waterloo, close to Te Whiti Park. With great school zoning and good access to public transport, this subdivision was popular with first home buyers, young families, urban professionals and retirees alike.
Central Park on Copeland residential subdivision consists of 34 fee simple sections with a range of two and three-bedroom townhouses.

Conveniently located within walking distance of Epuni shopping district, Hutt Hospital, Mitchell Park and the Epuni train station, these homes were a popular choice by many.
Parkview subdivision features 24 fee simple sections with a range of boutique, three-bedroom stand-alone family homes.

Built in the peaceful surrounds of Avalon Park with views to the Western Hills. The final home was completed and handed over in December 2019. 
This distinctive housing development, designed by Solari Architects,
​is a great example of high quality, medium density housing. 

The new road – Glen Evans Crescent, was officially opened in February 2018 and was named after ex Lower Hutt Mayor, Glen Evans who was a great leader and contributor to our city. The final set of keys were handed over in June 2018. ​
