Apartment living has become more sophisticated, community-oriented, inspiring and attractive to buyers of all ages. The developer of upcoming Auckland apartment building The Pacifica, at 10-12 Commerce Street, has gotten the memo. Its PR says, The Pacifica will “exist as a vertical community”, with facilities for exercise and relaxation, including a community terrace, and a community and entertainment space on another level. The International in Princes St, is another trend-setter, a former commercial building redeveloped as apartments. “There is no wasted space in these apartments. In houses, there are a lot of hallways, whereas these apartments have big open plan living areas with lots of light,” says the development’s agent, Ross Hawkins, from Ray White Black Group.

The four-bedroom family home on Carrington St, within minutes of the city centre, went for $1.1 million at auction. “Open homes and on-site auctions are so busy now that we’re seeing offices use things like a Mr Whippy icecream truck to keep visitors entertained and engaged,” Ray White New Zealand s South Island regional manager, Jane Meyer, said.
