The first UDINZ Summer Site Tour for the 24/25 season is of “The Hill” a development by UDINZ member Fletcher Living of a 6.2ha parcel of land at Ellerslie Racecourse. 

The proposed development will include approximately 370 residential units in a mix of housing typologies including apartments, duplex, terraced and detached houses and retirement living - all developed as part of a master planned community. The site sits on an elevated ridgeline between established suburbs of Remuera and Ellerslie and not far from the Waitarua wetland area. Alongside the housing, the development will also create new open spaces and pedestrian and cycle connections alongside new public roads.

Steve Evans, Fletcher Building’s Chief Executive, Residential and Development says:

“The Hill is a really exciting piece of land which will give us the scope to do what we do best - use our extensive residential development experience to develop a vibrant new community that Auckland can be proud of…”

The Hill development was a project considered under the COVID-19 Recovery (Fast-track Consenting) Act 2020 (FTCA). It’s also one of the first developments to use sophisticated digital displays provided by another UDINZ member DisplaySweet.
