The South Island’s biggest city is experiencing population growth, and with that comes demand for high-quality housing, says Tao Homes director Tao Meng.
The opportunity, he says, is that there is not enough supply, which makes it the perfect time to invest in a city apartment. “The overall investment outlook is very positive; continued strong demand from buyers combined with limited housing supply, has the potential to produce attractive rental yields,” Tao says.
“Here at Tao Homes, we can provide you with long-term capital growth potential, through modern and high-quality apartment ownership in the heart of New Zealand’s fastest-growing city.
Students, professionals, and new migrants are seeking out high-quality housing close to city amenities, University of Canterbury or Ara Institute; as well as major employment hubs such as Christchurch Health Precinct.
With housing demand outstripping supply, investment in a city apartment is cost-effective for owners and investors, Tao says, while the thoughtfully designed apartments are functional, visually appealing, and attractive for tenants.
The team at Tao Homes strategically selects development sites based on the benefits to the buyer and apartment dweller, with a range of locations that leverage the city’s improved infrastructure.
“Christchurch City Council is actively encouraging higher-density projects in well-connected areas, making housing development smoother,” says Tao.
The Tao Homes development at 42 to 48 Whiteleigh Avenue is the perfect opportunity for investors to snap up a city apartment, with floor plans and modern fit outs that offer more than other options on the market.
Designed by MOAA architects, the one-bedroom units and parking facilities aim to provide a blend of long-term and short-term accommodation. Buyers can choose a ground-floor or upper-level unit, with an open-plan kitchen acting as the centrepiece of the home, while the private courtyard or balcony provides the perfect sport to unwind and enjoy outdoor living.
