Cheap at a quarter the price
A 2000sqm site in Auckland’s Paratai Drive, previously home to two dogs, is expected to sell soon for over $10M. Who would pay that? The NZ Herald asks “high end home” architect Architect Simon Carnachan . No problem he reckons – cashed up JAFAs like, “showing the world you’ve got the money and you’re not afraid to flaunt it. Success in New Zealand seems to be judged by wealth rather than anything else.” Presumeably a buyer would then build a house on said site, and Carnachan thinks they’d get a bargain.
“Building high-end homes is still relatively cheap in New Zealand – about $700 to $800 a square foot compared with up to $5700 per square foot for expensive houses in England”. Cripes which planet is that on – $700 per square foot is about… NZ$7,534 per square metre. And the brits pay $61,354 per square metre huh? How??
