iLine Construction was engaged by Western Bay of Plenty District Council to deliver a 26-unit elder housing redevelopment in the heart of Katikati. The project replaces 11 ageing units with purpose-built homes that are modern, accessible, and support the wellbeing of the local senior community.

Situated on a centrally located 2,445m² site in the heart of Katikati, the development also includes a generous landscaped courtyard, level access pathways, carparking, and covered mobility scooter storage. The buildings feature a mix of brick cladding and James Hardie Axon Panel, with cultural elements carefully integrated into the brick and paving design. Private balconies for upper-level units and landscaped outdoor areas for ground-floor units offer residents their own space, while aluminium eyebrow shrouds provide architectural definition and shelter around windows and doors.

The success of the project has been underpinned by strong collaboration with DGSE and Western Bay of Plenty District Council, supported by a united consultant team and proactive project management. Favourable weather, a steady supply chain, and a committed group of subcontractors have allowed the project to progress ahead of schedule. This much-needed development stands as a testament to what can be achieved through strong partnerships and a shared commitment to community outcomes. A striking addition to the Katikati community.
