What is the York Street development?

York Street is a collection of eight three-bedroom residences near downtown Queenstown, within walking distance of the town centre and the waterfront. Every residence runs over three levels. The exterior pairs dark long-run metal cladding with warm timber detailing, and each home has a private Kwila deck set into native landscaping.

The residences come in three layouts. Four of them (Residences 3, 4, 7 and 8) have a dual-key ground floor with its own bedroom, ensuite, kitchenette and living space. Two (Residences 5 and 6) have internal garages. The rest follow a standard three-bedroom plan.

Demand for housing in the district is strong. Queenstown-Lakes District counted 47,808 residents in the 2023 Census, up 22.1 percent on 2018 (Stats NZ, 2023 Census). That is fast growth for a district with little flat land, and it puts well-located homes close to town in high demand.

How were the York Street exteriors set up?

The four York Street exteriors were composed around the street and the setting. The frontage render shows the dark metal and timber facade the way someone arriving on foot would see it. A second view follows the residences as they step along the street behind native planting and autumn trees.

The other two exteriors place the development in Queenstown. One looks down York Street past the residences to Lake Whakatipu and the mountains beyond. The elevated view shows both blocks together, with the timber decks and landscaping, so buyers can see how the eight residences sit on the site.

Why render the interiors of four different units?

The York Street residences do not share one floor plan, so the interiors follow four units to show each layout. Units 1 and 2 show the open-plan living, kitchen and dining level, where large windows and sliding doors frame the lake and mountain views. Unit 7 covers a second living room, kitchen and a bedroom with its ensuite.

Unit 8 shows the dual-key layout, the part of the development buyers ask most about. One render shows the corner bedroom upstairs with its lake view. The other shows the ground-floor suite with its own bedroom, which is the space that makes a dual-key residence work.

Across all ten interiors the palette stays consistent: warm white walls, pale oak floors and joinery, soft upholstery and natural light. The set reads as one development while still showing how the layouts differ.
