Pettit Street Triumphs: 2025 HIA Northern NSW Townhouse Development Winner
We’re thrilled to share that Pettit Street, one of our standout townhouse projects, has been awarded Townhouse Development of the Year at the 2025 HIA Northern NSW Housing Awards!
What This Means
The HIA (Housing Industry Association) Northern NSW Awards are among the most respected in our industry. They recognize excellence in design, craftsmanship, functionality, innovation, and overall contribution to the residential building landscape in Northern NSW. Winning in the “Townhouse Development” category means that Pettit Street stood out amongst many worthy contenders for excellence in multi-residential design.
Why Pettit Street Was Chosen
While the public announcement itself covers broad criteria, here are some of the aspects that made Pettit Street shine (based on what we know and what the judges consider for these awards):
Design & Layout: The townhouse design strikes a balance between modern aesthetics and functional living. Open living areas, clever orientation for light and airflow, and thoughtful room arrangements make life comfortable.
Quality Finishes & Detailing: High-quality materials, craftsmanship, joinery and finishes that elevate the project beyond just “good” to truly premium.
Functionality: Every townhouse includes features that matter - storage, privacy, access, indoor/outdoor connection.
Liveability & Appeal: It’s one thing for something to look good; it’s another for it to genuinely feel like home. Pettit Street delivers both.
Innovation & Value-for-Purpose: Judging panels often look for developments that deliver more than just bricks and mortar - whether through sustainability, clever design efficiencies, or thoughtful amenity-provision. Pettit Street’s approach to utilising space, finishes, and lifestyle features likely contributed strongly.
Behind the Scenes: What We’re Proud Of
As the builder/creator of Pettit Street, there are a lot of things we’re proud of:
The teamwork - from design to construction, everyone had to be on point.
Overcoming site constraints and logistical challenges while maintaining quality.
Responsive feedback - listening to what future residents want and building those features in.
Finishing touches - lighting, materials, functionality, and outdoor flow were given as much care both inside and out.
What This Means for Our Clients & Community
Client Confidence: For those who live in Pettit Street, or who are considering building with us - this award is independent validation of what you’re receiving: quality, design, value.
Benchmarking Excellence: Winning an HIA award raises the bar for what people expect in townhouse developments in the area - we see this as a responsibility as well as a privilege.
Inspiration for Future Projects: The lessons from Pettit Street will inform future builds - better sustainability, smarter design, even more efficient use of materials and space.
