Demolition Underway at Pinnacle Apartments

Get in now before the showroom has gone! 

... and low pre-construction prices end!

At the end of last month, Developer Martin Kells signed the building contract with Andrew Burden, a director of selected builder, Summit Construction.

This means that deconstruction (aka demolition) of the building's outer skin has begun. The demolition process will slowly work it's way up to the 8th floor, where Virgil and his team are located in the display suite.

Now is the time to get yourself over to Level 8, 18 Saint Martins Lane, Auckland to take a last look at the views and the display suite before, as Virgil so aptly puts it, "I have to parachute out of what's left of the window!"

This is also the last chance to secure low pre-construction prices. Virgil doesn't want to hear that you're upset because the price of the apartment you want to purchase has gone up.

Why should you be purchasing an apartment at the Pinnacle? We've discussed this before here and here but let's just remind ourselves of some of the other great reasons the Pinnacle is the place to be:

1. More glass to wall ratio than most apartments on the market
2. Freehold unit title with only four apartments per floor
3. All apartments have balconies with surprising views from the harbour to the Waitakeres
4. Superior exterior cladding with floor-to-ceiling double glazing and opening windows
5. Every apartment is climate-controlled: maintaining a pleasant 19 degrees centigrade year round
6. There's a second bathroom option with some apartments
7. New layouts giving larger floor areas. All bedroom and living rooms face out to the light and view. There's no internal bedrooms
8. Car park included in the purchase price
9. 10% deposit, with the balance on completion which is approximately July 2016!

See you there, before Virgil has to parachute out of the showroom!

Nothing's a problem when you live at the Pinnacle

We've talked about why the apartments at Pinnacle are selling so well and last week, we chatted about why downsizing from a suburban home to a Pinnacle apartment is a fantastic idea.

But what about when guests come to stay?

No problem. Firstly, guests are going to want to stay with you because you're in town - right where the action can be found. No more conversations along the lines of:

Your guest: "We need to thank you for having us stay, what about dinner and a show on Friday night? our treat."
You: "Yeah, well that'd be a great idea, but Friday night traffic in Auckland" Sucks air through teeth and whistles, "We'd need to leave here at 4pm to make sure we're in the city in time to miss the traffic and get a park. And then there's the cost of car parking."
Your guest: "Oh, maybe we should just eat in and get a DVD."

Now, imagine if you're living in your apartment at the Pinnacle:

Your guest: "We need to thank you for having us stay, what about dinner and a show on Friday night? our treat."
You: "Great. I'll book the tickets. We can pop down the road for a bite to eat and then go onto the show. And there's a great new bar that's opened by the theatre, we could have a night cap there afterwards."
Your guest: "Great. Let's do it."

And because you're going to have guests to stay, you're going to need that second guest bathroom. No problem organising that at the Pinnacle. Just call Virgil today and ask to see the plans for Apartments A and B.

5 Reasons Pinnacle Apartments are Selling Fast

1.  Best Value 

You'll be hard pressed to find better value in Auckland than Pinnacle Apartments. All two-bedroom apartments come with  a secure car park. Secure car parking means that although you're living in a high density area, you don't have to worry about dings and scratches, or random break ins.

Who wants to head out of the door in the morning to find that their wing mirror is hanging by a thread, or (horror or horrors) there's been a break-in overnight and your window is sitting in little bitty pieces all over the driver's seat?

2.  New optional layouts

The architect has worked carefully to ensure that each of the four apartments on each floor have been laid out to take advantage of the surrounding area. All living rooms and bedrooms face out to the view - there's no internal bedrooms.

There's flexibility to rearrange the floor plan to suit your needs. Apartments A & B have a new optional two bathroom plan giving one of the bedrooms its own ensuite.

3.  A community of owner occupiers

News from the sales office: Almost all of the buyers at Pinnacle apartments are local people and a large percentage of them intend to live in their apartment. As more apartments sell, it's becoming obvious to the team that this will be a community of mainly owner occupiers.

4.  No gardening

If you love the idea of looking out over a tree-lined park, but not having to do any of the work, then these apartments are for you. No more mowing the lawns at the weekend - you're free to go and do whatever you please. If you still like the idea of a few micro-greens for your salads, then every apartment has a balcony that is ideal for this purpose.

5.  Increased safety

Pinnacle Apartments have several layers of entry. A security gate, a main door and then the door of your apartment.  It's far more difficult for a thief to gain entry to your apartment when these security measures are in place.

There's also the benefit of 'many sets of eyes' that come with living in proximity of your neighbours. It's much harder for a thief to get large items out of an apartment building without running into someone who is coming or going.

Then there's also the added feeling of security that comes with knowing that you're living in a community of like-minded people who are all looking out for each other.

Give Virgil a call and come and see us at the show space today. Like so many other people, you won't be disappointed.
