Key facts
- 29 terraced homes
- 3 & 4 bedroom configurations
Norwood Drive is a community of twenty-nine terraced homes in Flat Bush, one of Auckland’s fastest-growing suburbs. Each home was built in a three or four-bedroom configuration, genuine family homes rather than compact stock, designed to suit households who wanted room to settle in an area that was, and still is, on the way up.
The location does a lot of the work. Norwood Drive sits minutes from motorway access running to both the Auckland CBD and the airport, with the established Botany Town Centre and Manukau nearby for everyday shopping. Closest of all is the ninety-four-hectare Barry Curtis Park, one of the largest parks in the city, giving residents a vast stretch of green space on their doorstep. For a family weighing up where to put down roots, that combination of connectivity and open space is exactly the brief.
Norwood Drive was completed in 2013 and sold out.
The brief
Family homes for a suburb on the way up
Norwood Drive was built when Flat Bush was still proving itself: twenty-nine terraced homes in three and four-bedroom configurations. The site brought its own problem, a large existing hole that needed a pragmatic answer. The solution dropped the garages to a lower level and built the homes over them, and that thinking later evolved into the basement road concept under The Reserve nearby.
Building in an emerging suburb means backing the location before the market has finished deciding. Barry Curtis Park on the doorstep, the motorway connections and the Botany town centre made the case.
The team

The result
Twenty-nine of ninety-four
Norwood Drive sold out on completion in 2013. Together with The Reserve it makes up the ninety-four terraced homes Heartland delivered across two Flat Bush developments.
Well-located family homes, delivered without drama, that have housed people ever since.
