Auckland's apartment market is surging, with asking prices up 26% year-on-year, while prices for large homes are softening. This signals a shift in buyer priorities towards low-maintenance, high-amenity living.

Developer byCoopers is testing this trend with 336 Remuera, a luxury project by Studio John Irving Architects. It introduces the "stratahouse" concept—a residence paired with a separately-titled flexible space for a gym or office. Priced from $13.995 million, it targets buyers seeking house-sized space without the upkeep.
