FAQs

What is Glasshouse Residences?

Glasshouse Residences is Hamilton's first built-to-rent developer. We develop and manage smaller footprint 1, 2 and 3 bedroom homes designed specifically for long-term renters who want quality, stability, and community on their own terms. We are part of the wider Glasshouse Property Management group, which has been managing Waikato properties for 14 years.

What is build-to-rent and how is it different from a standard rental?

Build-to-rent means the entire development is designed and built specifically for renting, not for sale. We own and manage every home ourselves, which means consistent management, high quality standards, and a community that's built with long-term renters in mind from day one.

Where are your properties located?

We are focused on Hamilton, where we have deep roots and a long-term commitment to the local market. Our current planned development is on Cussen Street & River Road, Fairfield, Hamilton. We also have properties located in Hamilton East, Melville, Hillcrest, Fairview Downs and St. Andrews.

What size are the homes?

Glasshouse Residences offers smaller footprint  1, 2 and 3 bedroom homes. Our properties are designed for smaller households, professionals, couples, and anyone who wants a quality home without the excess space they don't need.

How long can I rent for?

Our homes are built for long-term renters. We're not a short-stay or transitional housing provider. If you want to put down roots in Hamilton, that's exactly who we build for.

Who manages the properties?

Every Glasshouse Residences home is managed by Glasshouse Property Management, one of Waikato's most established property management companies with over 1,290+ properties under management. You'll deal with the same experienced team from the day you move in.

Is Glasshouse Residences connected to Glasshouse Property Management?

Yes. Glasshouse Residences is the partner brand of Glasshouse Property Management. The same team, philosophy, and management standards that Glasshouse PM is known for across the Waikato apply to every Residences home.

I'm a landlord. Does Glasshouse Residences compete with my rental property?

No. Glasshouse Residences develops smaller, purpose-built homes for a segment of the market that existing rental stock, predominantly larger family homes, isn't designed to serve. We're filling a gap, not competing for the same tenants. We also open up the overall tenant network for the region. The more tenants we have in our orbit/database, the more we can direct them to a broader portfolio.

How do I register my interest in a Glasshouse Residences property?

You can register your interest through our website HERE. You can also keep an eye on our rental page HERE for new Glasshouse Residences properties that come up. You can also check out our Glasshouse Property Management listings HERE for other properties we manage. You can also sign up for our newsletter and stay up to date on new developments as they come to market.

What makes Glasshouse Residences different from other rental options in Hamilton?

We're developers with skin in the game. Every Glasshouse Residence is owned and operated by Glasshouse Property Management. This means our interest in your experience as a tenant is genuine and long-term. We're not managing someone else's investment. These are our homes too, and we're committed to Hamilton for the long haul.
