Alexander Construction awarded the contract to build the 39-unit development.
The building of a new senior housing complex on a council-owned site in the Flaxmere Town Centre is set to get underway, with Alexander Construction awarded the contract to build the 39-unit development.
Called Te Pā Harakeke, the complex will incorporate Te Aranga design principles, connecting it to local culture and history. Gabled rooflines echo traditional whare (houses), while a harakeke-inspired colour palette and landscaping enhance its cultural authenticity and warmth.
A ground breaking ceremony was held at the site this morning ahead of construction beginning early next year.
