In January 3,025 new dwellings were consented, with townhouses/flats and units continuing to reflect the largest area of growth. “Consents for stand-alone houses have remained relatively flat in recent years, whereas multi-unit homes have increased significantly,” Construction Statistics Manager, Michael Heslop said.
