proven property growth
Queenstown's property market has experienced significant capital growth over the last two decades. Property values have increased by an average of 7% per annum during this extended period. This trend is supported by projections indicating substantial growth in both population and tourism in coming years. According to Queenstown Lakes District Council's demand projections, the resident population is expected to nearly double from 51,009 in 2023 to 100,558 by 2053 under the medium growth scenario. Additionally, peak day visitor numbers are projected to rise from 97,593 in 2023 to 182,929 by 2053. This anticipated increase in both residents and visitors is likely to sustain strong demand for property, suggesting continued capital appreciation.
investment highlights

BARRIERS TO ENTRY
There are no other known lake-front sites suitable for foreign ownership within 60 minute’s drive of central Queenstown. Most of the waterfront land away from Queenstown township is owned by the New Zealand government through the Department of Conservation and will never be available for private development or sale. This in turn restricts any future competitors and is expected to drive up the value of this asset.
