Come home to contemporary, high-quality living in Northcote, centrally located just minutes from the beautiful beaches of the North Shore, close to the harbour bridge and CBD, and surrounded by all the amenities you need.
Universal Homes is proud to play a key role in the redevelopment of Northcote, in partnership with Kāinga Ora. Our long history of over six decades at the forefront of residential design and build development in New Zealand showcases our strong experience, reliable reputation and commitment to continuous innovation, design excellence, and future-focused building solutions.
We have already built a suite of quality new houses at Northcote, with this first group of spacious, thoughtfully designed and well-located terrace homes selling out in a matter of days. We are currently constructing homes across three additional sites at the Northcote development. Our stylish Northcote homes for sale are warm, dry and energy efficient, created with quality durable materials, double glazing, smart orientation and all built with our decades of experience, so you can relax and spend your time enjoying everything the Northcote neighbourhood has to offer. The typologies of homes we offer at Northcote cater to a diverse range of layout needs, with plenty of space, light and bright interiors, privacy, and contemporary style to enjoy.
Something For Everyone
Our architecturally designed homes are built with a contemporary Kiwi lifestyle in mind, and feature smartly utilised spaces, ensuring they’re practical and effortless to live in.
Our Homestar 6 rated, architecturally designed brand new homes are situated in some of Auckland’s standout neighbourhoods, and our conveniently located Northcote community in its private laneway precinct is no exception. Russell Canons, Principal and Director of Construkt Architects, is a leading light in designing and developing quality homes in Auckland. Recognising this talent, Universal Homes has engaged Russell and his team to create a number of contemporary apartments and terraced homes in Northcote.
Down To The Last Detail
The choice of colours and materials can make or break a project – especially in large developments, where the finishing details of individual houses and apartments often get overlooked or painted with the same brush. This is certainly not the case at Universal’s Northcote development.
Explore living in Northcote
Northcote brings sophisticated central living opportunities, with local boutiques, purpose-built office spaces, quality school options in zone, excellent public transport, and Northern motorway access close by all making this a great suburb to live in. Northcote’s new greenway, Te Ara Awataha, will connect the community via a network of parks, shared cycling routes, and walking paths. A significant investment in local parks, walkways and the town centre over the next few years is set to make Northcote buzz with life.
Milldale: Lifestyle and Vision

What our clients have to say
“The customer care afterwards is really good. I like knowing for peace of mind that I can contact Universal if something pops up, and get it rectified.”
SARAH, HOBSONVILLE POINT
“The Universal team was wonderful! Our experience, from the moment we first arrived to look at the house through the whole transaction up to her handing us the keys, was nothing but exceptional.”
FIRST HOME BUYER, MILLWATER
“Everyone we have dealt with from Universal, right from the second we stepped into the Showhome, through to move in time, has been fantastic. The team are all extremely helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. You can tell that they’ve done this hundreds of times. The houses are finished well, with high-quality appliances.”
ALYSSA AND KENT, FIRST HOME BUYERS AT WEST HILLS
“The buying process was very smooth, fast, and stress-free.”
ELY, WEST HILLS
“We'd been to so many open homes, where the agents were on our case as soon as we entered through the door, pushing us to buy. However, Universal’s team was refreshingly honest and genuine. It was a very smooth and easy buying process. We would definitely buy with Universal again.”
THE RAMSAY BROTHERS, WEST HILLS
“When we saw these homes we knew the location was exactly what we were after and once we’d seen the Northcote development plan of the local schools and community facilities, we were sold! This location means less time stuck in traffic and more time with our son.”
ROXANNE AND JOSH, NORTHCOTE
“We weren’t keen on commuting, so knew this spot was perfect. We love the area and location; there’s lots of growth happening here. Our new home feels luxe! We feel so fortunate to be the first people to live here, and the look and feel of the community is beautiful. We are ecstatic to be in a home we are actually proud of."
NICOLE, NORTHCOTE
“I love my new home, for so many reasons. It's new! Clean! Sunny! Warm! Plus there is a really great sense of community, the location and public transport is excellent, and learning about the roof water and sustainability of it all was pretty impressive.”
YOLANDE, NORTHCOTE
“Northcote is a pretty good area! It’s so close to the bridge and the city, and commuting is simple. It’s a very hand location. Heading to great beaches further North is easy.”
THOMAS, NORTHCOTE
“My partner and I are looking for our first home and have spoken to many agents. We spoke with Srecko at your Northcote development and the experience really stood out to us. He was incredibly helpful and very friendly which makes the world of difference, especially as a first home buyer. Keep up the good work!"
SARA, FIRST HOME BUYER
