FH Group Developments is a Wellington property developer with a 25-year track record of delivering high-quality new build homes across the region, operating from The Esplanade in Petone. Homes start from $599,000 with deposits from 5% under its current offer, and every property is built in-house by Friday Homes Construction — the group's own building company, led by founder Mike Friday, which has been constructing turnkey standalone homes for more than 30 years.
The portfolio ranges from modern two-bedroom townhouses to spacious standalone family homes, spanning developments such as Kenepuru Landing, Arakura Plains Stage 2, Heretaunga Lane, 1105 High Street, 82 Ararino Street, Silverbrooke, 46 Wainuiomata Road, 8 Maire Street, 743 Fergusson Drive and Otaki Gardens. Buyers can choose move-in ready turnkey homes or purchase off the plan, with an expansive range of interior upgrades — colours, fixtures and fittings — available to shape each new build into a home that fits their tastes.
Proudly local, the company employs local people, engages local businesses and supports community groups across the region, with a focus on affordable, sustainable and cost-effective homes that don't compromise on quality. Buyer reviews consistently highlight the personalised service — particularly the clear communication, transparency and regular build updates that make the new-build journey feel seamless from purchase through to turnover.
FH Group Developments has spent 25 years building homes across the Wellington region, and today it stands as one of the area's most established residential developers. From its base on The Esplanade in Petone, the team delivers thoughtfully designed new builds — from modern two-bedroom townhouses to spacious standalone family homes — with prices starting from $599,000 and deposits from just 5% under its current offer. Behind the company sits Friday Homes Construction, its in-house building arm, which means every home is delivered by the same group that sells it.
FH Group describes itself as proudly local, and the commitment shows in the details. The company employs local people, engages local businesses and supports community groups across the region — an approach it believes helps create stronger communities alongside beautiful homes. Its stated vision is to be a trusted leader in residential development, while its mission focuses on efficient, affordable, sustainable and cost-effective homes built to the highest standards.
Sustainability sits at the heart of that ethos. FH Group values its environmental responsibilities and aims to construct residences that complement nature, pairing this with a belief that quality should never be compromised to reach an affordable price point.
What genuinely sets FH Group apart is how its homes are built. Every property is constructed by Friday Homes Construction, led by founder Mike Friday, who has been building turnkey standalone homes for more than 30 years. On site, skilled tradespeople, project managers and health and safety managers work together to bring each development to life.
"For me, building homes from start to finish is the most rewarding part of my job," Mike says. "I'm grateful that I can help people create their perfect family home."
That hands-on approach extends to buyers. The team guides clients through the entire build journey, capturing progress at every stage and keeping them informed about exactly what goes into their homes — a transparency that buyers repeatedly highlight in their reviews.
The current portfolio spans the wider region. At Kenepuru Landing, Stage 3a has just two homes left, standalone homes are under construction with five remaining, and Stage 3B is the next release. Arakura Plains Stage 2 is selling with its showhome under construction, while Heretaunga Lane is down to its final homes. Elsewhere, 1105 High Street and 8 Maire Street each have a single home remaining — with Lot 2 at 1105 High Street and Lot 3 at 8 Maire Street already move-in ready. Also selling are 82 Ararino Street, Silverbrooke, 46 Wainuiomata Road (two homes left), 743 Fergusson Drive (under construction) and Otaki Gardens.
Buyers consistently name the people, not just the product, as the reason to choose FH Group. Sales consultant Gareth Evans — with 27 years in service industries and three with the company — is repeatedly praised for clear communication, regular build updates and genuinely attentive support. First-home buyers describe the process as seamless, while others point to how simple it was to choose designs and colour schemes.
Personalisation is a real strength: an expansive range of interior upgrades, including colours, fixtures and fittings, lets buyers shape a new build into a home that reflects them. For many, a home is their most valuable investment, and the team treats it that way — with professionalism, integrity and creative, practical solutions.
The easiest way in is to visit. Open home times are listed on the FH Group website, and the team runs regular showhome events — including the Kenepuru Landing Showhome Open Day on Saturday 18 July from 12pm to 2pm, where you can explore townhouses, standalone homes, future releases and design-and-build options with the Friday Homes and FH Group teams.
The company also publishes Catch Up with Fridays, a regular magazine rounding up turnkey homes ready now, new project launches and updates from current developments; you can download a digital edition or pick one up at a showhome.
