A new collection of 33 boutique residential apartments have been announced for the heart of Kingsland.
Located on the ridge line at 445 New North Road, The Electric is bringing a distinctly different approach to apartment living in one of Auckland’s most vibrant communities.
Based on the concept of ‘live differently’, The Electric has been designed to acknowledge and to be suited to the diverse personalities that make up the central Auckland suburb.
Designed by an award-winning architectural team led by Simon Woodall, director at Chow:Hill, the concept for The Electric was originally born in 2016.
“Our team, including Katie Dickens, Amy Land and myself, wanted to create an apartment complex that set itself apart from the neighbouring developments. The Electric has been designed to capture the essence of Kingsland, a suburb that embraces both heritage and modernity, a community of forward thinking, design savvy residents.
“The architectural language of the building took clues from our observations of bold, high profile multi-residential developments in Australia, most notably around the Sydney foreshore. We wanted to produce a piece of design that simultaneously felt at home in Kingsland and yet stood out in the middle of a constantly evolving, energetic neighbourhood,” says Woodall.
The L shaped building has been thoughtfully designed to incorporate green space and beautiful outlooks in every direction. Unique features include climbing greenery and floor to ceiling glass bifold or sliding doors to the outside face of balcony spaces which allow these to be enclosed and used as sunrooms or outdoor living spaces interchangeably.
The proudly unconventional building design offers multiple floor plan options to suit a variety of lifestyles with several boasting sun-soaked terraces that look west towards the Wait-akere Ranges. With expansive outdoor terraces, sunrooms, contemporary interiors and designer kitchens with integrated appliances, The Electric has been created with entertaining in mind. The lush climbing greenery, private outdoor spaces and spectacular views provide a refreshing retreat from city fringe living.
The residence also includes a Japanese inspired Zen garden with a water feature and green wall to complement the raw and refined materials that speak to the historic streetscapes Kingsland is known for.
Apartments range from 50 to 155sqm, excluding outdoor spaces, with layout options that include studios, one, two and three bedroom units and a rooftop garden penthouse of 667sqm which boasts a 360 degree view across Auckland and an extensive outdoor terrace. All apartments have single or tandem car parks and full height storage units have been allocated for the one, two and three bedroom units. Bike storage and motorbike parking bays are also available. Construction is expected to be completed by the end of 2023 with purchasers taking up residence in early 2024.
The Electric’s on-site showroom will be open from June at 445 New North Road. Prices range from $695,000 to $2.75M+ and the garden penthouse is POA. Register your interest at www.theelectric.co.nz.
