    Credit due to Clive and his team for doing something different but I hope they hasn’t fallen into the institutional imperative trap

    Went to an art show in London a few years ago …an artist Michael Cox was portraying social housing (tower block apartments) and it’s beauty or lack of

    I got this print on the cheap

    Hope new blocks in AKL are as beautiful

    Beautiful... lol... I love your dry humor mate.
    These absolutely horrendous New Lynn apartments https://www.bing.com/images/search?v...t=0&ajaxserp=0 went up a few years ago and to the best of my knowledge is the highest apartment block presently in New Lynn (10 levels of slums) and without doubt the ugliest. It has only two redeeming features. 1. Really, really close to New Lynn Transport hub and Lynn mall shopping center and 2. Reasonably close to the New Lynn Police Station so they can try and keep this slum and its tenants under some sort of control.

    KPG thing that's proposed looks even worse.

    That block probably leaks like a sieve

    But Kiwi will build water proof blocks so no worries

    About 20 years ago we swapped a couple of cheap bare second rate no sea-view sections on Waiheke Island for a couple of top floor apartments off the plans in this block a few hundred meters away in New Lynn. https://www.bing.com/images/search?v...D0&vt=0&sim=11

    They were okay-ish when new and at least tenants had access to onsite swimming pool, tennis court and gymnasium so we didn't feel too much like slum landlords. Didn't take long for the ultra cheap fit out to age quickly and we had so many problems with tenants we were very pleased to get out with our shirts still on our backs. Not long after that the whole thing had to be re-roofed and reclad due to leaks...cost apartment owners a fortune. The majority of my clients who have bought apartments anywhere have experienced water ingress issues sooner or later....in fact its almost always just a question of when, not if. Hard to put those odds on unknown water ingress remediation costs into a spreadsheet eh

    I’m not an Aucklander so silly question …..is Sylvia Park a ‘desirable’ area to live? What type of tenants will KPG attract? Would they pay ‘fair and reasonable’ rents?

    "Sylvia Park a ‘desirable’ area to live?"

    you obviously never drove down that road every often then?



    well you had to see the area before it was built and used to go down that road often as back way to Parnell.

    Its not Parnell put it that way.
