When the scaffolding sheathing on the new luxury Herne Bay apartment ‘Jervois & Lawrence' is removed soon, it is predicted people will be surprised by just how advanced the build is.
Bayleys agent Peter Tanner, who is marketing the property with Kirsten Bishop, says, “we are excited to announce the first completed show apartment is open for viewing.” Peter says its envisaged construction will be completed around early February next year which could see first residents move in late Q1 or early Q2 2021. “There are very few projects in this area at the moment that are going to be completed in the time frame that this is,” he says.
The 28-dwelling development by Synergy Development Group located on the ridgeline on the corner of Jervois Road and Lawrence Street is already more than half sold. Its one-bedroom apartments have sold out and three of the four penthouses and sub-penthouses have already been purchased. However, there is a good range of two and three-bedroom apartments still available, some of which also come with a study or media room.
Undoubtedly a significant factor driving sales to date is the fact that until now, premium quality, low-maintenance living options have been in short supply in prestigious Herne Bay, apart from a couple of ‘80s tower blocks.
Kirsten says a significant number of existing buyers are those who’ve lived in and loved the area but want to downsize or simplify. “People, including those from other areas, are also being attracted by by the combination of views and convenience.”
Northern apartments enjoy a spectacular outlook over the Waitemat-a Harbour. Southern-facing apartments enjoy an urban aspect with views of the Sky Tower, the city and of Mt Eden.
The delights of Herne Bay and Ponsonby are just down the road with the central city within walking distance. There’s easy motorway access nearby heading north, south and west.
Another huge drawcard is the exacting quality of the development with an elegantly timeless stone façade designed by Leuschke Group Architects. Its central atrium delivering light and air flow looks down onto a Japanese garden.
Interior design by Stewart Harris of Macintosh Harris showcases beautiful herringbone wooden floors. Italian made Arcliena kitchens boast Gaggenau appliances. Bathrooms have Villeroy & Boche porcelain and Hansgrohe tapware.
Kirsten says discerning buyers range from executive couples and professional singles to retirees.
“They all agree there is nothing else quite like this one-of-a-kind, very special development.”
The complex is pet friendly, subject to body corporate approval. Pricing includes basement car parking and storage lockers and each residence comes with one to two designated car parks future proofed with outlets for powering electric vehicles.
The Jervois & Lawrence display suite across the road from the apartments is open Wednesday to Sunday from 11:30am - 1:30pm. at 218 Jervois Road, Herne Bay. The completed show apartment is open for viewing by private appointments only.
For sale: From $1.69 million including car parking.
