The skylines of our cities are starting to change. Slowly but surely, new high-rise housing developments are cropping up all over Auckland.
From built-to-rent schemes, to luxury hotels, to developer-iwi partnerships, there’s a wide variety of projects underway, all with different markets in mind.
Something they all have in common, though, is that they signal a move away from suburban sprawl, to a new type of city living.
So what are the main projects opening this year, how affordable will they be, and in a booming market, why are some struggling to make it to their open homes?
NZ Herald property editor Anne Gibson joins The Front Page to look at how apartment developments could dominate the property market in 2024.
