A massive new $1 billion manufacturing and affordable housing community is planned for Ohinewai, north Waikato by the company behind iconic Kiwi brand Sleepyhead, which has outgrown Auckland and wants its staff to be able to buy their own homes.
Comfort Group has bought 176ha of rural land, 5km north of Huntly, where under a master plan it intends to develop a mixed-use community with 1100 new homes over the next 10 years, while boosting its manufacturing space from 30,000sqm to 100,000sqm with a cutting edge factory.
Mortgage Advisor and property expert from Sara Hartigan joins The One Roof Radio Show on The Weekend Collective to share his thoughts on the proposed housing initiative from Sleepyhead, and if it could help ease the housing crisis in that part of the country.
