Is Build-to-Rent the Silver Bullet for NZ’s Housing Crisis?⎥

Episode 2198

Build-to-rent (BTR) is taking off in New Zealand, with major players pumping hundreds of apartments into the rental market. But will this solve the housing crisis – or just make a small dent?

In this episode, Ed and Andrew break down how build-to-rent works, who’s behind it, and what it means for investors, renters, and the wider housing market.

You’ll learn:

How BTR could add 25,000 new rental homes in the next decade – without a single one being sold
Why this might ease rents slightly, but have almost no impact on house prices
What NZ can learn from the US, UK, and Australia, where BTR is already much bigger

This episode cuts through the hype and asks: Is build-to-rent a game-changer, or just one small piece of the housing puzzle?
