Habitat Apartments are positioned in the lower North Shore and brings the community a contemporary mixed‑use destination designed to elevate daily life for residents, workers, and visitors. The development brings together light‑filled apartments, high‑quality commercial suites and ground‑floor retail to create an environment that prioritises liveability.
Delivered on a constrained site with tight road access and requiring deep excavation, the project required disciplined planning and careful materials handling. Working within a dense urban environment, the team implemented strict safety controls and coordinated trades with precision to manage exacting services tolerances. Close collaboration with consultants ensured structural and services integration was resolved early, enabling the high standard of finishes to be achieved throughout and maximising the saleable area for the Client.
Apartments feature expansive glazing, high ceilings, terrazzo flooring, modern white kitchens with integrated appliances and sliding doors that extend living spaces onto sun‑washed balconies. Built‑in wardrobes and aligned storage walls enhance functionality, while air‑conditioning, video intercom, and concierge support provide comfort and security. Residents also enjoy shared wellness facilities including a sauna and gymnasium. Commercial suites benefit from a bright north‑facing aspect, spacious floor spaces and proximity to transport and local amenities.
The development comprises 3 levels of commercial offices, 7 levels of residential accommodation, including studios, 1, 2 and 3-bedroom apartments with dual‑level penthouses on the top floor and 2 ground‑floor retail tenancies of 162m² and 262m², supported by basement car parking and storage for all tenants. Habitat Apartments strengthens the local urban fabric by delivering high‑quality homes and workplaces within walking distance of major transport, retail, and dining. Its mix of uses, durable materials, and resident amenities ensure long‑term value and a lasting contribution to the community.
