Golden Triangle
The "Golden Triangle" is the economic term used to describe the geographic area bound up by Auckland, Hamilton and Tauranga. This has long been a major centre of growth in New Zealand's property market. The Golden Triangle represents over 50% of New Zealands population and GDP. This area is also very well supported by government planning and industry, who understand the need to provide for the growth and potential of the Golden Triangle.

Each City in this area provides world class port facilities and has excellent transport and communication corridors between them.

Hamilton and Waikato land values are significantly cheaper than its Bay of Plenty and Auckland counterparts. Industrial land values in the Waikato range between $150m2 and $400m2, with land in the Bay of Plenty ranging between $400 and $1300 per sqm. These very affordable rates are proving more and more attractive for the growing number of developers, investors and owner occupiers, who are now venturing out of the Auckland area. Land values in Auckland are strained and are significantly higher, ranging from $320-$2000 per sqm). These factors, along with the ease of getting into the area and room for expansion are proving to be major drawcards (Goldentriangle.nz)
