Central Park on Copeland

15/09/2021

Good afternoon,

Now that the Covid levels have reduced, the site has re-opened for construction work and the remaining items for Block H have resumed.

Plumbers are fitting off their final products, the hard landscaping now complete; with timber fencing going up currently. We’re looking to book final inspection for these last three townhouses in the next two weeks – weather permitting. Agents will contact purchasers to align times for pre-settlement inspections very soon.

Many Thanks,
The Team at UPLLP

February 2021 - Central Park Update

We have received Code of Compliance Certification for Block I, and are working through the Practical Completion process this week. We have now passed CCC confirmation on to Block I purchaser’s solicitors.

We’re expecting receipt of the plumbing and gas certification by the end of this week for Blocks G & J which will enable us to book our final inspection for Blocks G and J. We’ll be in contact with those purchasers via their solicitors as soon as we receive Code of Compliance and Practical Completion sign-off.

We’ve noted previously that there’s a significant strain on resources and materials in the industry as a whole. Just prior to Christmas our suppliers fell short in terms of the Abodo (timber) and Nuwall (aluminium) cladding for Block H. Unfortunately due to the time of the year this has created delays of getting the extra materials to site. The choice of materials for this development are made to our requirements rather than being bulk materials we can grab off the shelf. We have recently taken receipt of these products and will be turning all of our labour efforts to finishing the cladding to complete the exterior which will allow for council to sign off the work competed.

The hydroseeding of the new reserve area is being sprayed next week. With a little help from Mother Nature the grass will strike quickly and blend in with the existing reserve area for everyone to enjoy.

Thanks for your continued patience. We’re looking forward to completion and getting the remaining purchasers into their new properties as soon as possible.

January 2021 - News Update

Our contractors have re-started back on-site after some well-deserved time off the tools. Fifteen settlements were completed in December, another three were completed just last week with another one due tomorrow. We are now lining up another five settlements due to CCC issuing for Block F. Our landscaping team is now working through the patio and pathway areas for Blocks G and J currently, with final inspection due in a couple of weeks for these blocks. Block I is now having kitchens installed, and all townhouses in this block have been painted inside. Block H cladding and internal building work is nearing completion. This is good progress and we are looking forward to completing the rest of these blocks shortly for all purchasers to move in and enjoy this fantastic development.

Re-shaping works for the reserve area ‘next door’ are progressing further. Once completed occupants at Central Park on Copeland will have a large open space to enjoy, right on their doorstep – and not have to worry about mowing the lawns!

It’s a timely reminder that whilst over half the blocks are now either settled or completed in terms of construction – the rest of the development is still a construction site. We have recently been made aware that purchasers and their families have been entering the site during construction hours as well as weekends. This is not acceptable, and no permission has been provided by any UPLLP employee to enable this. Please do not enter the site at any time. We take this seriously as it compromises our, your and our workers health and safety. Future breaches may result in trespassers being formally trespassed by the Police. Our workers have permission to take and supply photos of anyone that should not be there. Monthly updates and drone footage are provided so that people can see what is happening without anyone going to site.

Thanks for your continued patience. We’re looking forward to completion and getting the remaining purchasers into their new properties as soon as possible.

UPLLP would like to take this opportunity to wish all our purchasers a wonderful Christmas and New Year Break. Bring on 2021!

Here is your December drone footage, as promised:

December Update

Our first round of settlements have been completed with a third of the townhouses now occupied. Owner feedback on quality, design and overall ‘feel’ of the development has been extremely positive. We take great pleasure knowing that our product really fits with people’s expectations.

We, like the rest of the industry, are feeling the stretch and strain on resources. We’re finding that every trade and supplier is in high demand all over the region, so we are doing our utmost to continue on and get the remaining aspects of the project completed – but not forego quality, of course. We appreciate all future owners want to settle and occupy before Christmas – however, Blocks H & I will definitely be completed post the Christmas period.

We’re still looking to settle on Blocks D, E and F prior to Christmas – subject to obtaining CCC in the upcoming days. Our agent will be in contact with these purchasers as soon as CCC issues. We’re happy to work with purchasers to confirm settlement dates of course.

Drone footage will be posted up later next week – subject to weather conditions.

September Update

We have had several purchasers enquire as to specific dates for settlement. We understand that there’s a lot to arrange in terms of terminating tenancies, funding approvals and valuations… the list goes on. It’s important to stress that we too have several things to arrange on our side – Titles (under review at LINZ currently so not far away from issuing. Estimated mid-October), Practical Completion Inspections and Code Compliance Certification – as well as all the other items such as soft landscaping, cleaning etc. So as there’s many variables needed to align so that we can provide a specific date, we thought we would share our estimated (tentative) settlement programme. Please note that this is a tentative programme only, and is dependent on external entities to complete certain aspects for settlement to occur.

October 23rd – 30th : Blocks A, C & F
October 30th – November 6th: Block B
November 20th – 27th: Blocks D, E, G & J

We are pushing to get Blocks H & I completed by the end of the year, however the current programme has them for completion in January 2021. The impacts of Covid-19 and subsequent lockdown has obviously forced a re-calibration to our build programmes.

There are a few purchasers who require an independent valuer to view their future property prior to bank funding being approved. Please contact us on [email protected] and we can arrange this to occur. Please note that we will only allow valuers access when we feel it is both safe from a construction perspective, and when the property is in a near or fully completed state so that best value is achieved for our purchasers. We only permit valuers access, not purchasers - sorry.

Blocks A & C have practical completion inspections booked for next week, followed by Block B the week after. Block F interiors are all painted, with kitchens now being installed as well. Progress elsewhere is going well – lining, plastering / painting, as well as the hard landscaping works too. We’re also formally setting up the Residents Society – ready for hand over at the completion of settlements.

We look forward to seeing those purchasers attending the ‘Ron Deal Way’ street sign unveiling at Central Park on Copeland at 2:30pm on the 29th October. An invitation has been sent out to each purchaser.

We know you love drone footage updates... Here's your August 2020 update:

August 2020 Update

Block B purchaser walk-throughs have now been completed. Blocks D & E will commence in the next few weeks. We really appreciate everyone being so punctual as this really helps keep the construction going on the blocks. Blocks A, C and F are lined internally and being plastered currently. Blocks D and E are to be gib-lined over these next few weeks. Our solicitor has applied to LINZ for Titles for the project which is another step forward towards completion.

With the recent elevation in Covid-19 levels both in Auckland and nationwide, it’s a timely reminder that whilst we are looking to have all the homes completed by the end of this year – there is potential for construction to halt due to lockdowns. We continue to work as quickly, but as prudently, as possible to meet our programme.

July 2020 News Update

Purchaser walk-throughs for Blocks A and C are being completed tomorrow. Feedback has been really positive as to the townhouse layout and size, as well as the general status of the project. Purchaser walk-throughs for the other blocks are being planned currently, so for those who are yet to attend one, we will be in contact shortly to lock in a date and time. Several Blocks are now being lined (GIB) internally. We've submitted out engineering documentation to Hutt City Council, and we expect s223/224 sign-off shortly so that we can apply for Titles.
