A new development, NXN, is underway in Kingsland and promises to meet all the demands of the design-conscious city-based LGBT+ community. Fronting onto Nixon Park, and a few steps from the Kingsland buzz, this is a must see opportunity!
At the eastern end of the Kingsland Terrace cul-de-sac, you’ll find what is a fabulous site nestled into the hillside, sloping down to Nixon Park and with clear, unimpeded views across Newton gully and out west to the Waitakere ranges. On one side lies Bond Street (which gives a connection to Grey Lynn and Ponsonby). On the other side, the essence of Kingsland: cafes, cars, shops and restaurants – and the heritage buildings that give Kingsland its unique character. This is where the NXN development is being built, designed to fit right into the community and bring out the best in city-fringe living.
With 73 apartments and five terraced homes, NXN will be home to people who want to enjoy the privacy, amenity and convenience of a quality apartment complex designed to take full advantage of this exceptional location. NXN is just a two-minute walk to the cafes and bars of Kingsland and the transport hub, and a ten-minute walk to Eden Park for rugby fans. Its an appealing living proposition in a rapidly appreciating area.
The development is timely with apartment living now being embraced with the same enthusiasm as they do in London and New York. Matt Wickham, Senior Development Manager for the project, describes the reaction:
“When we first started talking to people it became obvious that they wanted the benefits of apartment life, but didn’t quite know that that’s what it was called.
“We’re always had apartments in New Zealand, but selecting them as your home is still a new concept to many. We heard the same comments over and over again: ‘We want a place we can lock up and leave.’ ‘We want a low maintenance home.’ ‘We want to live somewhere where we can feel part of a community.’ We want to kill our commute.’ ‘Well, that’s what NXN is all about.
From its penthouses with their private elevators, to the one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments, NXN offers a wide range of high-quality living spaces, with the remaining units priced between $900,000 and $1.5m. Each apartment has its own balcony, many north-facing. The interiors are well fitted out with Smeg appliances, stone bench tops, luxury carpeting and double glazing. Black tapware is specified in the bathrooms, but details such as this are likely to be easily changed on request.
The train and bus stops are close by, as is the cycleway – so you can keep your car at home in one of the 108 carparks available. Note also the provision for electric car charging and lock up storage. This exciting seven-level development is designed by BECA architects and marketed by Bayleys Real Estate.
Here is a leading development which offers so much, especially for those who relish the idea of living in a village atmosphere rather than in the city centre.
