OCHT Brougham Street development

This new village for the Ōtautahi Community Housing Trust has been built to last. Each of the 90 new homes was planned, designed and constructed with an eye for the small details and a view of the big picture.

About the project

The Ōtautahi Community Housing Trust (OCHT) Brougham Street Development is a significant community housing project, delivering much-needed, high-quality homes for the Christchurch region. Completed in May 2021, the project represents the largest development undertaken by OCHT since its establishment, and at the time of delivery was the largest community housing provider development completed in New Zealand.

Delivered under a Design and Construct contract, with a fixed-price lump sum established from Concept Design, the project achieved strong programme and quality outcomes while maintaining a clear focus on long-term durability, sustainability and tenant wellbeing. The completed development comprises 90 warm, dry and energy-efficient homes, delivered ahead of programme and to a high standard of finish, achieving a Homestar 7 rating and supporting OCHT’s long-term operational and community objectives.
