Over 300 new high quality homes are coming to Hīnaki, along with new and upgraded parks, playgrounds and infrastructure. The Hīnaki neighbourhood will offer the widest range of housing choice in Tāmaki to date, so there’ll be something to suit the needs of all whānau. Take a look below to see what’s on the way.

Homes for all whānau

The Hīnaki neighbourhood will offer the widest range of housing choice in Tāmaki to date, so there’ll be something to suit the needs of all whānau. This includes public housing homes, affordable homes sold through KiwiBuild, secure affordable rental homes managed by Simplicity Living, and affordable homes for people with a strong connection to Tāmaki (especially Māori and Pasifika whānau) who have completed the OWN IT programme. Homes will range in size from one to five bedrooms, and will include Lifemark-certified accessible homes.

Culturally-inspired design

The beauty, history and cultural significance of the Tāmaki rohe will be reflected in the design of the Hīnaki neighbourhood. The Hīnaki Street and Kupenga Apartments will showcase the work of sculptor Anton Forde (Master of Māori Visual Arts, Hons), which will appear in large-scale tukutuku brickwork feature walls and in sculptures throughout the shared landscape, in a way that he hopes will honour the past, present and future of the Hīnaki neighbourhood.

Shared spaces for connection

‘Living’ laneways, lined with trees and plants and designed to be safe for pedestrians and cyclists of all ages, will weave their way through the Hīnaki neighbourhood. Apartments and terraced homes will centre around local ‘village greens’, community gardens with fruit trees and spaces for gathering with friends, and small ‘pocket parks’ - shared neighbourhood backyards for kids to play safely. Nearby Boundary Reserve is being upgraded to restore the ecology and mauri of the stream that flows through it, providing a green pedestrian route to the Tāmaki Estuary.

Lasting, timeless quality

Homes in the Hīnaki neighbourhood are built by reputable builder partners who have proven track records: NZ Living, Jalcon, Housing Foundation and Generation Homes. All homes meet 6 Homestar standard, which exceeds the minimum New Zealand Building code requirements and guarantees that the home is warm, dry, energy-efficient and built from quality, lasting materials.

Kupenga Apartments by NZ Living

The Kupenga boutique apartments on the corner of Pilkington Road and Torino Street will include 132 one-, two- and three-bedroom homes across eight low-rise buildings. The homes have a 100 year ‘design life’ that will benefit their residents for generations to come. They’ll be professionally managed by Simplicity Living, a not-for-profit partnership between experienced developers NZ Living, and KiwiSaver fund manager, Simplicity. Simplicity Living’s mission is to provide a high quality rental option for people who would like the stability of a long-term, more affordable tenancy.

Estimated completion date of May 2023.
