Queenstowns newest neighbourhood

Lakeview | Taumata occupies a 10-hectare elevated terrace on the edge of Queenstown’s CBD, offering breathtaking views of Lake Whakatipu and the Remarkables. This billion-dollar mixed-use development, once completed, will be one of Queenstown’s largest construction projects, housing up to 1,500 people and featuring public reserves and a new plaza. It will set a national benchmark for sustainability with its European-inspired mass timber construction, replacing traditional concrete and steel.

​

Lakeview | Taumata is a world-class model for global precincts, blending exceptional architectural design with local heritage, smart city concepts, and a regenerative native landscape strategy. The completed development will include over 500 apartments, affordable co-living units, and three hotels, with around 50% of the area dedicated to public open spaces. A unique public podium level will offer stunning views across Lake Whakatipu and beyond. The ground floor will host a variety of retail, commercial services, and hospitality options, expanding the Queenstown CBD’s offerings.

​

Sustainability is at the core of the project, with carbon-conscious construction using mass timber throughout, positioning Lakeview as a leader in sustainable development and enhancing residents' health and well-being. With its vibrant central plaza, exceptional bars and restaurants, designer boutiques, health and wellness facilities, art exhibitions, and breathtaking views, Te Taumata | Lakeview will embody a sense of local connection. It will blend seamlessly with the pristine landscape, creating a lively, sustainable neighbourhood with a profound sense of place.
