Looking back with pride, we reflect on the completion of 4 Alberto Lane in Silverdale - a purpose-built, two-storey commercial property designed to meet the needs of a fast-growing community.
Developed in collaboration with MAKO and Gel Architects, 4 Alberto Lane is anchored by BestStart Childcare, New Zealand’s largest early childhood education provider, which occupies the entire 625m² upper level under a long-term lease.
The ground floor features five street-facing retail units, curated for convenience and quick service to Silverdale locals. Current tenants include: The Cheesecake Shop, Fa Bakery, Official Cuts, MK Investments.
We’re proud to have developed a vibrant, mixed-use space that’s already playing an important role in the community.

Our Leadership, Development, Site, and Health and Safety Managers presented project updates and talk about what’s coming up in the back half of the year. It’s also a chance to build stronger relationships across the group.

Matvin and MAKO are proud to lead the development and construction of The Botanic Silverdale. In mid-May the team achieved Practical Completion of the Garden Villas (Stage 10 of the project).

One Team: Run Club
What’s keeping our team going through the colder months? Run club!
Once a week, keen runners from Matvin, MAKO and TDCG hit the pavement before sunrise to stretch the legs and clock up the kilometres. Club members take turns choosing the route, and more importantly which coffee shop to swing by afterwards.
Any guesses on what running event our crew is training for next?

Annual Retreat
Two weeks ago, we held our annual Matvin and MAKO staff retreat on Waiheke Island for our group to come together and review the year that has passed. This is the fifth and largest retreat that we have held as a business and it provided a great chance for the team to review business processes and find new efficiencies as well as review completed developments, those that are in the pipeline and those that have commenced, to find improvements in the way we source and deliver investments as a development and construction business.
Not only did the retreat provide a chance for staff to contribute to the business review and enhancement process, but it also provided an opportunity for everyone to gather in a social setting over a couple of days.
While away, the team also enjoyed a great day out at the Waiheke Bowls Club, with a few of our MAKO Commercial team members taking out the tournament!

The retreats' purpose is to allow both the Matvin Group and MAKO Commercial teams to come together and review current business plans and upcoming developments, review our business processes and look at ways in which we can add value to our people, projects and wider organisation. The couple days away from the office also presents a great opportunity for the whole team to get together and catch up outside of the day to day busy working environment.

Silverdale Office Pods
A couple of weeks ago we decided to get some shots of our stunning Silverdale Office Pods. This boutique development of seven Pods provides a new standard of office space in the Silverdale Area and looks to integrate the workspaces with the natural environment. As a temporary solution to our site, these Pods have been purpose designed to be relocatable for multiple uses to have a low impact on the existing and future environment and make for efficient use of resources. The Office Pods are now home to our tenants Signature Homes Ltd, Ray White, The Planning Collective Ltd and Hall Surveying. We could not be happier as to how these Office Pods have turned out!
