Our central city

Hamilton’s central city has been transforming over the last five years and 2021 saw a number of large developments underway, including the Waikato Regional Theatre, ACC Regional Headquarters and Union Square. We’ve also seen an increase in developments offering mixed-use inner-city living options with apartments alongside offices, retail and hospitality businesses and predict that this will continue as more people look to live in the central city.

In 2021 an estimated 1640 Hamiltonians called the central city home. This was a 5.8% increase on 2020 and the current growth of the central city is outpacing Hamilton as a whole. With increased interest in apartments, we expect to see the population of the central city continue to grow.
