Is Build-to-Rent the Silver Bullet for NZ’s Housing Crisis?⎥
Build-to-rent (BTR) is taking off in New Zealand, with major players pumping hundreds of apartments into the rental market. But will this solve the housing crisis – or just make a small dent?
In this episode, Ed and Andrew break down how build-to-rent works, who’s behind it, and what it means for investors, renters, and the wider housing market.
You’ll learn:
- How BTR could add 25,000 new rental homes in the next decade – without a single one being sold
- Why this might ease rents slightly, but have almost no impact on house prices
- What NZ can learn from the US, UK, and Australia, where BTR is already much bigger
This episode cuts through the hype and asks: Is build-to-rent a game-changer, or just one small piece of the housing puzzle?
