ONEHUNGA CULTURE ON TAP
There are still opportunities to buy brand-new apartments in The Onehunga Mall Club development, which is now completed with residents having moved in.
Colliers Associate Director Juliet Lichtenstein says: “People who have bought in The OMC are loving living there and enjoying being part of the evolving heritage neighbourhood that is Onehunga.
“These apartments, architecturally designed by Ashton Mitchell, are right in the middle of the village in Onehunga Mall so you can literally step out of your door and it’s an easy level walk to everything you need.”
Surrounded by vibrant shops and eateries, and a short stroll to Onehunga’s waterfront, this address is three minutes’ walk to Onehunga Train Station with buses leaving from its back doorstep.
Juliet says there’s a selection of apartments available to buy across all configurations, spread out from level three to the top floor, level seven.
“Apartments have wide, lovely views because surrounding properties do not obstruct views, with residences available maximising each of the four orientations; west towards the Manukau Harbour, north towards One Tree Hill, east over Onehunga towards Panmure and south across the Manukau Harbour to Mangere Mountain.”
The 102-apartment development is named for the low-slung building which previously stood here, housing the Onehunga Workingmen’s Club.
“Apartments have wide, lovely views because surrounding properties do not obstruct views ...”
Pricing for available apartments start at $590,000 for a one-bedroom, onebathroom apartment without a car park and there are still one-bedroom residences available which do come with a car park.
One-bedroom, one-bathroom apartments with one car park and an additional study start at $840,000, while two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartments with one car park start at $1.085 million.
The remaining configuration is 92sqm comprising two bedrooms, one bathroom, one car park and an additional study is priced from $1.095m.
“The vistas take in the best of Onehunga, the older villas and leafy greenery.”
Ashton Mitchell project director Clifford Paul is very proud of this completed project.
“I think the exterior of the building has integrated itself into Onehunga seamlessly and it has actually contributed to the village feel and the built environment.”
He says of its largely brick and concrete exterior: “It’s sympathetic to its environment, with materiality taking clues from existing surrounding buildings.”
Apartments aren’t right by the mall’s bustling footpath as the two-storey heritage-style front brick fac¸ ade is dedicated to the apartments’ elegant foyer and two commercial tenants, Westpac and Reform pilates studio.
Clifford says: “It’s not big and bland; it’s been broken down into various different components which provide interest and aesthetic appeal.”
The building’s back entry on Municipal Place provides access to its two levels of car parking. Apartments in this pet-friendly complex have large windows capturing natural light, entertainers’ kitchens and spacious living extending out to covered balconies. First-home buyers, young professionals and downsizing locals are already enjoying their new homes, embracing The Onehunga Mall Club for the optimal lock-and-leave lifestyle.
The Lamont brothers, now Precinct Properties, are behind this development. They’ve completed other living precincts including Onehunga pocket neighbourhood Fabric of Onehunga and SKHY, a mixed-use precinct in Grafton.
Open home times for The Onehunga Mall Club, at 158 Onehunga Mall, are Tuesday to Friday, 10am-2pm; Saturday and Sunday, 10am-noon.
