Mountain Scene can reveal the Queenstown Lakes Community Housing Trust and New Ground Capital (NGC) are re-exploring Toru Central, the second of three planned Toru apartment buildings below the Remarkables Park shopping centre. Housing trust boss Julie Scott says they’re working with NGC on opportunities to construct the second, smaller apartment building, which would hopefully comprise another 80 units. In an ‘‘ideal world’’, NGC would retain theirs under a build-to-rent programme, while the housing trust’s would go into a variety of housing programmes. The last six households of the second stage will move in there at the end of this month, with stage three households expected to follow soon after.
