Christchurch-headquartered Brooksfield Homes is looking to bring a new style of townhouse to Auckland. 

Reports claim the company's planned eight new Pt Chevalier homes on two sites, with a projected end valuation of $11.6 million.

Brooksfield Homes managing director Vincent Holloway says a lot of people want to live in similar heritage properties found in Grey Lynn or Ponsonby - but prices keep many out of reach.

"People are wanting that in a home, so we aim to do that in a smaller scale in a cheaper area, basically."
