It was announced yesterday that Northcote in Auckland will see a massive building development taking place in the very new future.

300 Housing New Zealand properties will be replaced by 400 new properties and up to 800 other homes with a mix of affordable housing and market housing.

The development is said to be worth 750 million with the first properties to be completed by June 2017 and the entire development completed by 2021.

The government is doing this to address criticism of the plights of the homeless people and people in the low income bracket who would currently qualify for state owned housing.

This will supply an abundance of work for Auckland tradesmen and the demand for tradesmen shows no signs of slowing down for years to come which is great news for the industry .
