“There’s no doubt<br />
there’s a lot more<br />
movement and it<br />
has particularly<br />
accelerated since<br />
the pandemic”<br />
The phenomenal growth rate<br />
across Hamilton lies at the heart<br />
of a combination of factors,<br />
says Mike Neale, NAI Harcourt’s<br />
Commercial Sales and Leasing Manager.<br />
“There’s a whole lot of things that have<br />
snowballed, from the new inland port, the<br />
upcoming medical faculty that is being<br />
introduced through the University of<br />
<strong>Waikato</strong>, Wintec – the increasing number<br />
of global technology-based businesses.”<br />
When you add to this the affordability<br />
of land, the quality of building spaces, and<br />
the ability to commute throughout much<br />
of <strong>Waikato</strong>, he says it’s not surprising.<br />
“There’s no doubt there’s a lot more<br />
movement and it has particularly<br />
accelerated since the pandemic.”<br />
This is largely driven by people’s<br />
attitudes shifting about how and<br />
where – and when – they want to work,<br />
with flexibility very much becoming a<br />
trademark of the second decade of the<br />
century and more so after the enforced<br />
lockdowns showed a new way of being<br />
able to work more effectively.<br />
“The advent of the completed<br />
expressway all the way from Auckland<br />
was massive – it has made Hamilton very<br />
much a logistic hub.<br />

Wellington – has never been easier and<br />
we are now finding a lot of boutique and<br />
tech companies coming in that are world<br />
leading in the technologies they provide;<br />
places like Innovation Park are really<br />
robust.”<br />
Mike says there has also been a lot<br />
of Government interest in Hamilton in<br />
recent times.<br />
“It’s looking at its departments and<br />
buildings and thinking about what is fit<br />
for purpose, where it’s best for something<br />
to be, given what is cost effective, the<br />
space available, comparing like-for-like<br />
and with the ability to attract and keep<br />
personnel. And those who are looking<br />
are realising Hamilton has become an<br />
increasingly important place for those<br />
who are considering where to work and<br />
live.”<br />
He uses the University of <strong>Waikato</strong> as<br />
an example.<br />
“One of the key drives in the medical<br />
field has been getting people out into<br />
the provincial centres and with a strong<br />
university that is now getting quite<br />
excited about the medical faculty it’s<br />
getting, this will open up a lot of doors,”<br />
he says.<br />
He also cites the fact that people<br />
like the idea of cashing up their existing<br />
properties in the bigger cities and being<br />
able to buy or build a good property or<br />
