A study in flexible lifestyle options

by ADC Architects and completed about 15 years ago. It is just across the road from Britomart and a short stroll to the university, Countdown and the waterfront. The 164 apartments include one- and two- bedroom units as well as studios.

Barfoot & Thompson agent Livia Lee says the one- and two- bedroom units are more likely to be owner- occupied, with the studios being popular with tenants. The well- constructed building is well maintained, with a reasonable body corp levy which includes a sinking fund. Other bonuses are the on- site manager and security covering entrance to the building. Level two has a gym, and gyms such as Les Mills are a few minutes away.

Ru’s apartment faces west and benefits from afternoon sun, and those views. It has the kitchen as you come in, with DeLonghi dishwasher and an F& P oven. This open- plan space shared with the lounge has full- length windows and a door to the balcony, which the bedroom also opens to. The lounge and bedroom access the tiled bathroom with bath/ shower and underfloor heating.

The apartments have proved popular with overseas families buying them for their children going to Auckland’s universities, and people working in the CBD. On offer: 51sq m, one- bedroom, onebathroom freehold Tower Hill apartment with car park and storage locker. Price indication: A similar- sized apartment sold in February for $ 385,000, but it did not get as much sun and did not have harbour views. Auction March 7, 10.30am.
