The Weekly Wrap | January 16

The year is off to a strong start with new builds popping up across Whanganui. First cab off the rank? Slabs are officially down on Lot 2 at our Cambridge Street development!

There are still two great sites available – 407sqm and 401sqm – with plans ready to roll. If a house and land package is on your radar for 2026, now’s the time to jump in. Get in touch and let’s make it happen.

Next on the new build list: Dirt has been broken at this architectural home on Lake Wiritoa, and this one’s shaping up to be a standout for the year.

The layout features open-plan living and dining, a kitchen complete with scullery, separate bedroom wings, and an additional family room. We can’t wait to share this project as it comes together stage by stage throughout the year!

Over on Niblett Street, the four new townhouses are really starting to take shape. The team wrapped things up before the new year with weatherproofing complete, and now cladding and painting are well underway.

While compact in size, these homes feel surprisingly spacious inside, a great example of smart design. Future tenants will be stepping into brand-new, low-maintenance homes, and we reckon these are going to be snapped up quickly.

At our Puriri Street triplex, we wrapped up 2025 with the roofing all done, and now the units are ready for windows and doors to go in.

Based on our popular Mathieson Triplex design, these units really stand out, and offer the Whanganui rental market affordable, low-maintenance living that’s perfect for anyone looking for a fresh start.
