On Tuesday, the council announced it was adding two new buildings, totalling 183 more rental properties in central Wellington, to Te Kāinga, expected to be available by the end of next year.
The affordable rental programme was in partnership with private building owners that re-purposed underutilised commercial buildings, aiming to increase the supply of rental housing in Wellington.
The new apartments would bring the total number of units in the programme to 473.
It would then have a year to reach its target of 1000 by 2026.
