Seascape, the tallest residential tower in NZ at 56 storeys, just down the road from proposed stadium, will have 221 apartments available for sale on completion. So Seascape times almost 10 is what the consortium is proposing to be able to fund the build. Sounds kinda hideous.
A fancy version of Kenilworth Road, walking through someone's backyard at each entrance!!

But as MM said there is a lot of vacant nothing land in that area of Auckland. I'm guessing getting the land free/cheap (is it Maori leasehold there?), and then selling all those apartments - the profit from that, will go a long way to funding the stadium construction. Does the same developer then get to later, develop the area around a demolished Eden Park? All combined that would all help with the infill housing Auckland needs that's for sure.
I'm sure the bean counters and consultants behind each bid are burning the midnight oil, getting these proposals altogether for the Govt and Council.
