Invest in a high-performing property that delivers strong financial returns while also supporting wellbeing and providing meaningful housing solutions for the community.
Constructed in 2018 and consented by the Hamilton City Council as a 'sleeping house', 8 Mckay Drive was created with a clear vision: to strengthen Hamilton’s housing supply through a kaupapa centred on manaakitanga, community connection, and occupant wellbeing. Since opening in 2021, it has been professionally managed and has consistently achieved a 95% occupancy rate, demonstrating strong and sustained demand.
The configuration includes 12 self-contained rooms, each with its own ensuite, kitchenette furnished with kettle, microwave, mini fridge, and wall-mounted TV. Units 2 - 12 are designated for sole occupancy under the council consent, complemented by a two-room manager’s unit. Residents also benefit from a well set up kitchen with spacious food preparation and cooking spaces, and a large communal lounge and dining area, supported by laundry facilities and onsite parking.
The tenancies are under Boarding House agreements and are currently set at $300 per week per room; with the current average rent per room at $297. The property’s modern construction, purpose built setup, and proven operational history make it ideal for investors, housing providers, or organizations seeking an income-generating asset with purpose.
With its combination of socially minded foundation and strong financial potential, this is a property that delivers both impact and opportunity.
