Auckland’s active development pipeline of 33 projects across office, retail and industrial sectors is the clearest available pointer for those tracking what price data and auction results may show next. Industrial projects account for 17 of the total and are concentrated in Wiri, Airport Corridor and East Tamaki.

Industrial Projects Concentrated in Three Locations

The 17 industrial developments dominate the current list. They sit mainly in Wiri, the Airport Corridor and East Tamaki. These locations continue to attract new building activity while data centres add further scale to the overall supply coming forward.

Retail Pipeline Headed for Mid-2026 and End-2026 Completion

West Auckland holds the region’s largest retail pipeline of around 24,000 sqm, with completion scheduled for mid-2026. In the CBD, Faradays and Queens Arcade are listed for delivery by the end of 2026. Ikea’s first New Zealand store stands as the single largest new building among the 53 planned or completed projects tracked in recent assessments.

Apartment Blocks Across CBD, Fringe and Suburbs

Approximately 3,795 new apartment units are planned in 49 blocks spread through the CBD, city fringe and suburbs. Nearly half of these units are already under construction, while the other half remain pre-sold or actively marketed.

Regeneration Work Underway in Five Suburbs

Urban regeneration is progressing in several established neighbourhoods. Panmure has the Lagoon Edge Reserve project. Onehunga is advancing the Waiapu Precinct, which includes a new supermarket. Henderson is seeing work at Catherine Plaza. Avondale is developing a new town square. Northcote is delivering the Te Ara Awataha Greenway.

These projects together form the concrete supply picture that market participants are using to gauge likely price movements and auction clearance levels. No separate price or auction statistics are attached to the pipeline data at this stage.

Buyers and sellers will continue to watch completion timelines and take-up rates in the listed locations. The next updates on project delivery are expected to come from the same monitoring sources that produced the current counts of 33 projects and 3,795 apartment units.
