Remodelling housing in the country’s biggest city
The City Rail Link (CRL) will trigger Auckland’s next leap forward by refocusing the development of housing to apartments and townhouses in these areas, Peter Thompson, Barfoot & Thompson managing director says.
Already, the Government has mandated higher density housing in the vicinity of the CRL’s stations – 15 storeys high around the key stations of Maungawhau (Mount Eden), Kingsland and Morningside, and require upzoning allowing buildings of at least 10 storeys high around Mt Albert and Baldwin Ave stations.
As head of the city’s biggest residential real estate agency, Thompson says In the wake of these large housing complexes will come smaller, private initiatives filling in the gaps with apartments and town houses.
Higher density population within the CRL transport corridor will make greater use of existing infrastructure and services, adding life to the central city’s cafés and entertainment venues.
