Auckland's Hottest Suburbs Get New Housing Projects Worth Watching

Auckland’s active development pipeline includes 33 projects across office, retail and industrial sectors. Industrial development accounts for 17 of those projects and is concentrated in Wiri, the Airport Corridor and East Tamaki.

Industrial projects in southern and eastern areas

Buyers examining land or premises in Wiri, the Airport Corridor and East Tamaki will find the largest share of new industrial work under way. These locations sit within the broader pipeline that also features data centres as the dominant form of new stock. The largest single building among 53 planned or rising projects is IKEA’s first New Zealand store.

City centre hotel and apartment activity

Four major hotels are in development in the city centre. They comprise the Double Tree by Hilton on Albert Street, Radisson Red and TRIBE Auckland on Fort Street, plus The Estate by Allpress Olive Groves. At the same time nearly 4,000 new apartment units are being delivered across 49 blocks, with 1,391 of those units located in the CBD.

Suburban regeneration projects

Large-scale urban regeneration work is progressing in Panmure at Lagoon Edge Reserve, in Onehunga at the Waiapu Precinct which includes a new supermarket, in Henderson at Catherine Plaza, and in Northcote along the Te Ara Awataha Greenway together with more than 1,700 new homes. Buyers considering these suburbs can review the listed projects against their own requirements for location and timing.

The combination of industrial, hotel and residential work gives buyers in these neighbourhoods a range of options to assess. Checking current status with the listed developers and local council records remains the practical next step before any purchase decision.
