UP Real Estate, Remuera
From the client
“We purchased a 120-year-old historic building that started life as the original Remuera Hall in 1896. The building had been vacant for 10 plus years and had homeless people in residence.
Our objective was to house our main office consisting of approximately 50 people and resuscitate the building without losing the incredible history of the period construction.”
“We are thrilled with the outcome and on an almost weekly basis have locals come by and congratulate us on preserving this important piece of Remuera history. From a practical perspective it delivers everything we hoped for, marrying technology and tradition.”

Locals come by and congratulate us on preserving this important piece of Remuera history.
“Retaining a sense of what had gone before by completely hiding all services and earthquake requirements was a major achievement. This required detailed planning both in the design and during the construction process.”
“Apart from John being a Liverpool supporter I thoroughly enjoyed the design and building process with him and the team at Abri. They brought an enthusiasm and expertise to the project that ultimately allowed us to get the result the project deserved.”
“My business partner and I are very happy to recommend John and the team, the proof being we have gone on to use Abri on several other major projects. Our two companies are very much aligned in philosophy, “deliberately designed with the goal of making every experience a winning one for the customer”.
