With extensive experience in residential subdivision development, Carter Group has successfully completed projects like Hyde Park in Avonhead and Regents Park in Casebrook, which was the first in Christchurch to incorporate streams and lakes.

The family's commitment to Canterbury also includes the striking The Crossing retail development in Christchurch’s CBD, IPort Business Park in Rolleston and numerous other significant property investments.

Our vision for Westhaven

A neighbourhood that feels like home

Westhaven is designed for the way people actually live. It’s a place where everyday routines feel easy, from getting the kids to school to heading into town or catching up with neighbours. It’s not about starting from scratch, it’s about fitting naturally into life as it already is.

Built for real community

There’s a focus on creating a neighbourhood where people know their neighbours and feel part of something. It’s not just about sections and houses, but about the kind of place people choose to stay in long term.

Connected to what matters

Set on Rolleston’s western edge, Westhaven gives residents access to everything they need, while still offering space and a slower pace. Growth in the area is steady and well supported, making it a practical choice as well as a lifestyle one.
