Building for the long term
How long-term thinking can deliver affordable housing
In this CHA DeepDive interview,, we explore how New Zealand's largest industry still operates like a cottage industry, why standardisation could cut building costs in half, and how housing policy connects to social stability. This is about more than bricks and mortar. It's about building the foundation for a more equitable society.
New Zealand has the most unaffordable housing market in the OECD. While politicians debate and developers chase profits, Sam Stubbs from Simplicity is quietly proving there's a better way.
Simplicity builds apartments that cost 30 to 40 percent less, are 25 percent larger than market standard, and haven't lost a single tenant. The secret? Thinking 100 years ahead instead of chasing short-term returns.
We'd like to thank Sam for taking the time to speak with us.
