Standing proud on one of St Mary's Bay's most desirable streets - with easy access to the city and iconic Ponsonby and Jervois Roads - as well as to the Northern Motorway, XXXII at 32 Shelly Beach Road - the much-anticipated new development by Maidstone Properties, who are behind the hugely successful North Apartments and Crest Apartments, is now well underway.

The north-west orientated Apartment which is over 2 levels and designed by award-winning architects Paul Brown and Associates and built by very highly-regarded Ganellen Construction.

The development's exterior is sleek and streamlined, composed of linear forms in contrasting monochromatic tones, while the interiors are modern and extremely elegant, with inspired use of wood, marble and stone creating a nurturing and organic atmosphere.

Huge glass windows and soaring ceilings maximise light, whilst enhancing stunning Waitamata Harbour views, and the interior palette and materials list throughout this particularly impressive offering is inspired by the warm colours and textures of nature.

This impressive three-bedroom, two-bathroom, luxury apartment, set over two levels, enjoys a sensational European kitchen by Poggen Pohl with top-of-the-range appliances from Miele. Ducted air-conditioning provides comfort, all-year-around and the residence is smart wired, with lots of fabulous bells and whistles including a top-end security system, sprinklers and automatic window treatments.

XXXII has the added bonus of being pet-friendly, and comes with one covered, secure carpark.

This is arguably the hippest part of town with the classy boutiques and eateries at Jervois Road practically on the doorstep and as well as an extensive balcony, 1B at XXXII has a fabulous, -super-quiet NW facing courtyard garden.

Interest in 32 Shelly Beach Road is already intense, so early inspection at the show suite, by appointment at B&T Ponsonby (184 Ponsonby Rd) is recommended.
