A new development underway in Northcote differentiates itself from typical purchase off-the-plans models with its fast-approaching completion time and competitive pricing all topped off with a suite of seldom-offered inclusions.
So says Bayleys real estate agent Kirsten Bishop, who is one of the agents marketing the new two-building, 183-apartment Elevation Northcote development currently rising on Lake Road.
“We’re very much on track to have construction of the first building completed by mid-2023 and it’s exciting to see the apartments being dropped into place now that basement car-parking has been completed,” Bishop says.
“Elevation uses a system of modular construction which will deliver a higher standard of apartment which buyers won’t have to wait an age to move into.

“Sales have been going well as first-home buyers, investors and those wanting a lock-up-and-leave residence have recognised the appeal of getting a higher specification of new home compared to anything else at a similar price around this area.”
Two-bedroom apartments are available from $755,000 and three-bedroom apartments from $935,000, with secure car parks and storage lockers available to purchase.

Bishop says to evaluate the competitiveness of this pricing, potential buyers should factor in all the inclusions, such as Fisher & Paykel fridge-freezers, washing machine-dryers and a heat pump bolstered by underfloor heating and Thermoskirt safe-to-touch heated skirting boards.
“So your apartment will be built with features such as double glazing but pricing covers so many extras, including blinds and curtains.
“Not only does this mean you can move in and not have to spend a lot of extra money, it saves you the complications and delays of trying to source these items from tight supply chains.
“All apartments have balconies or terraces of varying sizes and adding to the appeal of living here are communal facilities complementing your lifestyle,” Bishop says.
Each building will have two roof-top terraces, both with seating and one with barbecue facilities.
A community room will offer a large multi-purpose lounge-library. This can function as a communal relaxation or workspace or be reserved for events such as movie nights, book clubs or family get-togethers.

Not to mention the onsite café where you can grab your morning coffee and retail space for those convenient last-minute purchases.
Bishop sees Elevation’s location as a big drawcard, with the up-and-coming suburb due to have its shopping centre re-generated.
“It’s quicker to get to the CBD from Northcote than from Takapuna. This extremely handy location accesses great public transport and multiple reserves, including Onewa and Onepoto which Elevation’s two buildings take their names from,” she says.
Some of Elevation’s apartments, which are scheduled to be completed by the end of Q2 2023 will have views and both buildings will be rated Home Star 6 as a measure of their operating efficiency.
Elevation’s display suite at 445 Lake Road in the Takapuna shops includes a full kitchen and bathroom, storage-shelving systems and a building model pinpointing apartments’ positions relative to the development’s facilities. It is open 11am-1pm on Saturday and Sunday, 5.30pm-6pm on Wednesday, or by appointment. Visit www.elevation-northcote.co.nz
