One of the most iconic suburbs in Auckland has a new addition to its luxury apartment offering: One Wairua. Located at 1A Wairua Road in Remuera, Auckland, One Wairua is a boutique collection of 14 luxury apartments.
Developed by Countrywide Residences and built by Clearwater Construction, One Wairua has the backing of some of Auckland’s most well-known and skilled apartment specialists.
“Countrywide Residences has an exceptional reputation,” says One Wairua development representative Martin Cooper.
“They’re also responsible for several other successful developments including nearby Elm Remuera and the under-construction One Saint Stephens. A good portion of their work in Auckland is apartments so they know and understand apartments well.

“Clearwater Construction has been in the business for 30 years too, so for buyers it’s comforting to know that the best in the business have come together to produce this superb development.”
One Wairua is located right next door to Wairua Reserve, offering residents easy access to wide open spaces.
“Wairua Reserve is one of the best kept secrets in Remuera,” says Cooper. “It’s one of the biggest parks in the area yet very few people know about it. The proximity of One Wairua to this large green space makes this development really special.”

Despite being so new, One Wairua looks and feels like it’s been in Remuera forever. “The building has been knitted into the existing fabric of Remuera,” says Cooper.
“Typical apartments in the area are quite strong, white buildings along the ridgeline, then you drop off to weatherboards on the surrounding streets. Wairua reflects both, with its strong white exterior complemented by a rough sawn concrete look that gives the feeling of neighbouring weatherboard homes. The final look is a unique style that is both bold and soft.”
Of the 14 apartments at One Wairua, 10 have sold.
The remaining four include a two-bedroom apartment, a three-bedroom three-bathroom in the northwest corner, a smaller penthouse located in a glass pavilion on top of the building with beautiful views out to Ellerslie Racecourse, and a second penthouse apartment which Cooper says is the most affordable penthouse in Remuera at the moment.
The two-bedroom apartment is priced $2.25 million, three bedrooms $3.195m and the penthouse from $3.995m.

Many apartments have significant blank walls perfect for mounting art and photography, which Cooper says is important for people who have lived in the area for a long time but are looking to “right-size” rather than down-size.
“Many people have chosen Wairua because of the lifestyle it offers,” he says. “They might be moving into a home that’s the same size as their previous one, but because there’s no maintenance to worry about and they’re so close to central Remuera and the rest of Auckland, the shift in lifestyle just makes sense.
“Having the space means people can keep all of their furniture and still be able to hang their art collections and photos by making a sideways move, or what we like to call ‘right-sizing’.” Visit www.onewairua.co.nz.
