Auckland's apartment market is outpacing houses and a new Remuera development is testing how far buyers will go

Auckland's apartment market is outpacing houses, with asking prices up 26% year-on-year while large homes soften. This reflects a buyer shift away from high-maintenance properties toward luxury, amenity-rich apartments.

A new development, 336 Remuera by byCoopers, is testing this trend. It introduces the "stratahouse" concept—a primary residence paired with a separately-titled flexible space for a gym or office.

Priced from $13.995 million, the project bets that buyers will pay house-sized prices for apartment living that offers exceptional space and customisation.
