According to City Sales real estate broker Scott Dunn, car parks have become rare in-demand properties in the central part of Auckland due to the limited numbers of supply. Dunn further shares that considering the pandemic has brought fewer people to be regularly present in Auckland’s central business district, it has still been challenging to allocate car parks to people seeking these properties. The reason for such a situation is that the availability of car parks is scarce.

As mobility progressively returns to normal, the people’s presence in Auckland’s central business district has incrementally become regular. The supply/demand problem with car parks in the said area is known to complicate the matter, shares Dunn.

Some new real estate spaces have been present, but with only a few car parks available included in them. Recently, the progressive growth in building development properties without integrated car parks around. The growing demand for car parks in Auckland signifies that these properties make suitable real estate investments.
