THE
BLOC
Where Auckland students actually want to live. Purpose-built studios, real community, one weekly price.
Students leave halls after first year. Then what?
Looked after.
Halls of residence, instant community, all-inclusive pricing. The University of Auckland sets first-years up well.
On their own.
The infrastructure disappears overnight. Students are dropped into Auckland's private rental market — older shared houses, far from campus, tangled bills, forced flatmate negotiations.
Tens of thousands of students. Year-on-year growth.
Purpose-built student accommodation is almost absent in NZ.
Especially international and Pacific students.
Hotel-quality design at student pricing.
200 purpose-built studios designed for life after halls — affordable, connected, and built around community.
Private ensuite
No shared bathrooms at any price point.
Compact kitchenette
Hob, bar fridge, microwave — student self-sufficiency.
Built-in study + smart TV
A real desk, fast WiFi, screen for downtime.
One weekly price
Rent covers WiFi, water and building access. No hidden costs.
Move in with a suitcase
Furnished, plug-and-play. Bring your student ID.
Own space, real community
Privacy when you want it. People when you don't.
A whole neighborhood, stacked.
Urban arts.
Real culture.
Real connection.
Designed against isolation
Individual pods for deep work, full social kitchen for shared meals — privacy and community engineered into the same building.
A community host, not a guard
24-hour on-site team trained to programme events, welcome new arrivals and look after wellbeing.
Open to the neighborhood
Coworking and ground-floor food vendors are open to local professionals — bridging students and the suburb around them.
The CRL unlocks close to campus.
A 12–18 minute train into the university precinct beats a 35-minute walk from a cramped flat in Mount Eden. Auckland just got smaller.
