Sylvia Park Construction Update

Sylvia Park will be one of the first true Build to Rent developments in Auckland, New Zealand and carries with it an exciting future for multi-residential dwellings.

Marcus Greening spoke with Sylvia’ Park’s onsite architect for an update on what has been happening.

Sylvia Park has reached a construction milestone with the prefabricated balconies on and the final precast panels installed, topping out Building B.

Building A (left), B (middle) and C (right) are at full height, with the steelwork of the central pavilion visible beyond. The construction program will deliver building B first, then A, followed by building C.

In the foreground, the footbridge connecting the development with the Sylvia Park Shopping Centre is under construction.  

The pavilion steelwork is being erected central to the podium. Sylvia Park Shopping Centre is visible behind the development.

Building C’s roof slab is being poured.

The Sylvia Park development employs 100s of sub-contractors on site at any one time. Including;

• 2 concrete crews (50 for each building)
• 2 waterproofing crews (10 for each building)
• 3 carpentry teams (15 for each building)
• 3 cladding installers (15 for each building)
• 1 balustrade installer (7 for each building)
• 1 architect.
