Building for impact

Onepu Project

This development is an extension of our most recently completed project in Kilbirnie. We were able to purchase adjacent land, allowing us to build 10 more homes and add a shared garden for the full development. There will be two buildings in a similar style to the neighbouring project.

We have plans to build six one-bedroom and four three-bedroom homes. This development is a unique opportunity to provide people in need with affordable, long-term, quality homes in a location that brings numerous opportunities. This location is in the heart of the Kilbirnie suburban centre and therefore provides easy access to a variety of amenities and resources.

Mahora Te Aroha Development

Our latest completed project consists of 19 new homes for social housing in Kilbirnie. There is a commercial space at the bottom of one of the buildings which is now being used as the Dwell office.

The development is a mixture of home sizes to accommodate individuals, couples and families. There are eight x one-bedroom apartments, nine x two-bedroom apartments and two x three-bedroom apartments, all with small courtyards or balconies.

Te Aro Pā Trust
papakāinga housing

Te Aro Pā is Wellington’s first city papakāinga. Papakāinga translates as ‘nurturing place to return to’ and reflects a type of housing development that is located on multiply-owned Māori or ancestral land. Dwell is managing the homes on behalf of the Te Aro Pā Whenua Trust which represents the collective owners of the land.

They have developed a contemporary kāinga (village) made up of fourteen homes - ten three-bedroom units and four one-bedroom units. These are rental homes for young families, kaumātua and professionals who have a connection to the original Ngāti Ruanui and Taranaki Iwi people of Te Aro Pā.

Previous housing projects

Dwell has a decade and a half of experience in delivering new build projects. These developments are located in Newtown, Berhampore, Brooklyn, Lower Hutt and Kilbirnie.
