They’re 24 years old, count their mothers as their only employees, and claim to have finished more homes in inner Christchurch than the Government-backed rebuild effort.
Meet Matthew Horncastle and Blair Chappell, co-directors of upstart property development company Williams Corporation, named so because of their shared middle name.
Last year, the company built 40 homes in the inner city and surrounding suburbs and sold 80, with an overall sales value of about $35 million.
They plan to build 100 homes this year, 40 of which were sold last year, and sell 200.
Among their upcoming developments – and their largest to date – is an apartment building on Hagley Ave, overlooking the park. It will consist of 39 one-bedroom units, starting from $375,000.
