Culture-led city apartment project the result of iwi partnership
A new apartment development housing up to 5,000 people is to be built over the next 15 years on a former university campus site in Auckland.
The development - which follows more than four years of collaboration with local iwi mana whenua - is seen by its developers as an opportunity to re-develop the 12ha site as a step towards a more compact city under the Auckland Unitary Plan while also addressing the future needs of Auckland's property market.
Led by Shundi Group, a company responsible for a number of developments in Auckland and Queenstown, the project will create a new suburb to be known as Te Tauoma, the company's deputy general manager and executive project manager Frank Xu says.
"Offering new urban apartments in a spacious park setting, it will be a future-focused place for people to thrive; a smarter, modern lifestyle in Tāmaki Makaurau," he says. "The masterplan responds to the Unitary Plan and we are working to create a new urban story of a place-sourced, culture-led, people-centred community."
