IMAGE: SUPPLIEDConstruction of the first buildings in a billion-dollar Queenstown development should start in 2023. The first two stages of the Queenstown Lakeview project, which is being developed by a transtasman consortium, will consist of five residential buildings of between nine and 13 storeys. A media statement from Melbourne developer Ninety Four Feet yesterday said the buildings would contain 370 units, including about 140 "co-living units". The first release of units was planned for next year, and the buildings were expected to be completed in 2025. Now called "Lakeview-Taumata", the development is a mixture of residential, hospitality and retail space on a 10-hectare site near the Skyline gondola that overlooks central Queenstown and Lake Wakatipu.
