Apartment Without Carparks

Aucklanders are locked in a parking battle, and a parking war has broken out in the adjoining street after an apartment block was built without car parks for its residents.

The $17.5 million dollar development, Daisy, is touted as “sustainable low energy urban living”. It opened in March 2018 and boasts 33 units.  Developer Ockham has been hailed as a pioneer in helping Kiwis to rethink their dependence on cars.

But neighbouring businesses say pressure on street parking has mounted since the apartments opened.

Apartment developer Ockham Residential opened its 16th Auckland building this week, and it illustrates how government, iwi and developers can partner to deliver housing, the Housing Minister says.

There are 117 apartments in the red brick block in the city fringe suburb of Avondale, and 47 of them are more affordable KiwiBuild homes.
