Vennell Street development

On 20 January 2015 Wellington Mayor Celia Wade-Brown and Dwell staff, board, supporters and partners celebrated the completion of our four new three bedroom homes at Vennell Street.

The homes were built by Primesite Homes Ltd on land made available by Wellington City Council, and the project was jointly funded by Government and Dwell. We built four three bedroom homes to our usual quality standards. The homes are built on a challenging site.

Two of the four homes were part of Dwell's shared home ownership programme for first home buyers. The programme was the first of its kind for Wellington. The other two homes were for social rentals.

This project is a good example of what can be achieved when agencies work effectively together to respond to the communities' need for more quality affordable homes. Our thanks to Wellington City Council for selling Wellington Housing Trust the land and for all their support to enable the project to be completed.
