PROJECTS
Wellington Street
Purchase of 21 completed units
In October of 2024 we purchased 21 completed units at 48 Wellington Street, with a mix of 2 and 3 Bedroom typologies in this sought-after central location this development has been an excellent addition to The Home Bakery’s portfolio of modern, purpose-built homes.”
Albert Street
Project Completed in October 2024
Located in this sought-after part of Hamilton East our latest project sees an original 1900’s villa rehomed so it can continue to provide housing elsewhere in NZ for another 100+ years, with the 3 x concrete block 1980’s flats that were no longer fit for purpose demolished.
In their place, 7 x modern two-story townhouses are been built, with a mix of 2, 3 and 4-bedroom typologies. With a mix of 4 different premium exterior cladding, these will be an example of strong contemporary design that achieves density in this desirable city fringe location. Solar panels are fitted to all units.
Mahoe Street
Our newest project, Ten x 2 bedroom 2 bathroom homes to replace the four homes currently on site.
This project was completed in December 2023.
Betley Crescent
This project see 2 brick units removed, along with a 1940’s weatherboard house. To be replaced by:
- 2 x 3 bedroom and
- 4 x 2 bedroom homes.
This is an excellent location close to motorway links, the new inland port, and Chedworth Park has become very sought after for family rentals.
The slightly larger site here allowed us to provide larger building layouts and outdoor space, so these homes will be rather unique in the new-build market, tailored to the needs of young families seeking a long term home in a great community.
This project was completed in October 2022, these homes are now fully rented to excellent tenants.
Cotton Street
This project is another site with 3 x classic 1940s homes on it that have been removed to make space for a further 6 purpose-built rental homes.
- 4 x 2 bedrooms, and
- 2 x 3 bedrooms.
Much sought after in this central area handy to town, the base, and quality schooling.
Project construction started in October and is now completed
FENWICK CRESCENT
Fenwick Crescent is our second project, on this property, there are 4 homes, two brick 1950’s dwellings and two weatherboards 1920’s homes that were moved onto the site at some stage.
These will all be removed, and 8 x 2-bedroom homes constructed.
This location provides excellent access to schooling at all levels and the University of Waikato.
This development will provide an additional four homes to the rental market.
Project construction started in September 2021 and is now completed.
CLAUDE STREET
It’s fitting that our first project involves the redevelopment of 1940’s state homes. Having been revolutionary when built, they now represent the changing needs of tenants, who seek modern warm and dry homes, living and dining areas that are well connected, and low maintenance grounds.
The current two homes will be removed and replaced with 6 x 2 Bedroom dwellings built to meet the demand for two-bedroom homes in this sought-after city fringe area that offers local shops, and proximity to the city, Claudelands and Chartwell.
With better utilisation of the land, a further 4 homes will be provided to the market.
This project was completed in October 2021, these homes are now fully rented to excellent tenants.
COMRIES ROAD
Completed in 2016 under the ownership of Pat Baker and now owned by The Home Bakery. This property was built by GJ Gardner Waikato and project managed by Jeremy. This involved the demolition of a 1940’s brick home, which was replaced by two 2 Bedroom units.
This project was built to the life mark certification and was featured on their website as an example of building rental homes to meet a specific need in the community.

This location was perfect for this type of property, with Chartwell shopping center just down the road, and bus stops for main routes on both sides of Comrie’s Road.
The property remains sought after, with extremely low tenant turnover, and minimal maintenance requirements over the past 5 years.
