White Associates, as the Funding Representative for First Mortgage Trust (FMT), was delighted to support the transformation of Rosario Crescent into a vibrant new residential community. A residential development at Rosario Crescent, Red Beach, Auckland. This project, commissioned by Waihanga Rosario Limited and a relationship introduced by Fortis Capital and funded by FMT, involved the construction of three standalone, two-storey luxury homes, each featuring four bedrooms and a double garage, built by Sentinel Homes.
Rosario Crescent homes showcase bold architecture, abundant natural light, and privacy, with open layouts, landscaped gardens, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow for stylish entertaining and a warm, welcoming lifestyle.
From the outset, our team was entrusted with a critical role: providing bank funding representation and quantity surveying expertise to ensure the project’s financial integrity and compliance. Led by Justin Bearne and Darin Bayer, our responsibilities included preparing and finalising Precondition reports for funding approval as well as monthly drawdown reports, conducting site visits to verify contractor payments, and reviewing documentation for compliance and insurance when supplied to us. We worked closely with the client, funders, and contractors to keep the project on track and within budget.
One of the most notable aspects of this development was its highly structured funding process, which included 16 drawdown stages and rigorous quality assurance. The project’s infrastructure was completed to 100% compliance, and our financial oversight helped deliver the homes well under budget and on schedule.
The Rosario Crescent project stands as a testament to White Associates’ commitment to excellence, transparency, and client-focused service. By combining deep industry knowledge with practical expertise, we helped deliver a development that meets the highest standards, providing peace of mind for both clients and funders.
We’re grateful to Waihanga Rosario Limited (Logan and Caleb), Fortis Capital for their ongoing support, First Mortgage Trust for their trust and collaboration, and the main contractors Sentinel Homes, and we look forward to supporting more successful projects in the future.
