Sitting right on the water’s edge just 35 minutes by ferry from downtown Auckland, a new luxury development is about to take shape. Elegantly merging high-end apartment living with a holiday ambience, L175 will deliver a world-class lifestyle that does not demand compromise.

Named for its position on maritime charts, L175 lies in the heart of Beachlands’ Pine Harbour Marina. The development was created with the ocean lover in mind and offers unparalleled views of and access to the water, with the ability for seafaring residents to dock their boats just metres from their apartment door.

Conceptualised by Paul Brown of PB&A Architects, L175 consists of four separate north-facing buildings, which allows for 28 apartments and an unprecedented 14 penthouses. Striking, yet sympathetic to its environment, they are to be constructed chiefly from concrete, steel and glass, working to stand out for all the right reasons. Inside, designer Paula Herbert has conceived inviting, luxury homes finished to an impeccable standard using the finest fittings, contemporary furnishings and materials, namely a rich use of marble and timber. The layout is fluid, with open-plan living, kitchen and dining areas all opening out to generous balconies that overlook the water. The master suites enjoy the same awe-inspiring views and outdoor space, further cementing L175’s position as a high-end apartment development with the atmosphere of a holiday escape.

Just a 40-minute drive from downtown Auckland (we must make mention of the internal car parking), L175 is within easy reach of the city. However, with limitless amenities on its doorstep including waterfront cafes, restaurants, retail boutiques, entertainment, neighbouring Formosa Golf Resort and boating opportunities, residents may find little reason to ever leave. Offering the design and comfort of an elite modern home by the sea, L175 is not just a boaties’ paradise, but a desirable slice of luxury for all.

L175 at Pine Harbour apartments will be released for sale from November 2017. For more information on the striking development, visit the website here.
