Resurrecting a derelict building in Mount Eden
27 May 2025
FIRST APARTMENT IS ON THE MARKET!
This development is a lifeline to this 125-year-old Category B Historic building that had been left to decline for decades.
The striking façade has been painstakingly restored, with the addition of extensive seismic strengthening and four modern, three-bedroom apartments carefully inserted into the historic fabric.
Decorative interior details were retained and preserved, now celebrated in the final outcome. The stained-glass windows and decorative bracing were refurbished and the wide Kauri boards lining the ceiling have become incredible feature floorboards.
Resurrecting a derelict building on a prominent corner, this project is a testament to the importance of renovation and restoration bringing new life to Auckland’s Architectural Heritage and giving these precious buildings a new purpose in the modern world.
