Shape community
Shaping neighbourhoods, people and places.
Providing the technical advice and design for large-scale urban design and master planning, subdivision engineering, civil infrastructure development and community assets. At Eliot Sinclair, we understand that creating vibrant and sustainable communities goes beyond planning and engineering. Our approach is holistic, integrating technical expertise with a deep understanding of social dynamics to shape neighbourhoods that thrive.
How we shape community.
At Eliot Sinclair, we don’t just develop land and buildings, we shape communities where people can live, work, and play. Through a commitment to excellence and an extensive range of expertise, we ensure every project contributes positively to its community.
We work with you to achieve these outcomes
Comprehensive Urban Design and Master Planning
We collaborate with local stakeholders to design cohesive, functional and attractive urban environments. Our urban design and master planning services ensure that every project is tailored to the unique needs and character of the community, fostering a sense of place and belonging. Read how we helped Ngāi Tahu create a high-quality community with an intimate village feel at Wigram Skies.
Subdivision Engineering
Through thorough planning and innovative engineering solutions, we transform raw land into well-designed subdivisions tailored to our clients’ vision. Our work in subdivision engineering creates liveable, connected, and resilient communities. Read more about how we worked with Bayview Nelson Ltd to develop a premium residential subdivision where each section has a scenic view.
Civil Infrastructure Development
Our team delivers civil infrastructure solutions that support community growth. From roads and bridges to water management systems and utilities, we ensure that every piece of infrastructure is designed to be durable, efficient, and future proof. See how our civil engineering design helped create Fairose Drive residential subdivision in Nelson with an emphasis on roads with sweeping curves and elevated sites with the best possible outlooks.
Community Assets and Amenities
We help develop essential community assets that improve the day-to-day lives of residents. Parks, recreational facilities, schools, and public spaces are designed with accessibility and inclusivity in mind, promoting well-being and ensuring sustainability. See how our teams worked collaboratively with Rangiora New Life School to design new classrooms, a stormwater management system and a new car park.
Environmental Sustainability
Sustainability is at the core of our approach. We provide solutions that offer green building practices, sustainable materials, and energy-efficient designs to create communities that are not only beautiful but environmentally responsible. Read how we worked with Townsend Fields in Rangiora to re-align a stream in a recreational reserve at the heart of the development, significantly enhancing the stream’s ecology and aesthetics.
Tailored Solutions for Diverse Needs
Every community is unique, and so are its needs. We develop customised solutions that address any challenges and enhance opportunities. Working closely with our clients to understand their goals, we ensure each project reflects the identity and aspirations of the people it is designed for. We worked with Ngāi Tahu Property on the Karamū Park Neighbourhood. A mixed density residential community with interconnected open spaces, maximum liveability and affordable housing options.
