| 25 Takapuna Quest Apartments REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT Quest Apartments continue apace Kelly Deeks Quest Takapuna is a mixed use development with three retail units on the ground floor, 26 basement carparks, 51 Quest keys, and six highend residential apartments and commercial suites. Quest Apartment Hotels show no signs of slowing down, with the new Quest Takapuna in Auckland’s North Shore one of four new Quest Apartment Hotels opened in the past 18 months, and a further four set to open over the coming 18 months. Quest Takapuna is a mixed use development with three retail units on the ground floor, 26 basement carparks, 51 Quest keys, and six high-end residential apartments and commercial suites. Quest Takapuna on Shakespeare Road has been specifically designed to take advantage of the growing local specialist medical provision, and the area’s commercial activity. In a prime location to benefit from business taking place in the surrounding precincts, including North Shore hospital and Smales Farm business park, Vodafone head office, and all in close vicinity to Wairau Park. Quest Takapuna is set to add to the local business and hospitality scene enjoyed by locals and business commuters. The apartment hotel is in easy walking distance of central Takapuna, Smales Farm, and its artisan food and beverage precinct, Goodside. Nearby are entertainment venues the North Shore Events Centre and the Bruce Mason Centre, and on Shakespeare Road itself, a growing number of medical specialists and healthcare services. “Our location puts us in reach of an extensive mix of markets,” says Quest Takapuna franchisee Jun Pyo. “A lot of our guests choose to stay at Quest because they like our brand. Quest has been in New Zealand for 22 years, and a lot of our guests will stay with Quest wherever they go.” Jun says although Covid has caused a lot of stress both financially and emotionally since 2020, the future has started to look a lot brighter. As well as four new Quest Apartment Hotels and another four under construction, a record period for growth and capacity, Quest has also achieved record occupancy rates across New Zealand since the pandemic began. These records can be attributed to the winning formula set out by Quest when it first began, the offer of stylish, spacious, well-appointed accommodation and reliable standards in locations specifically designed to meet the needs of extended stay corporate and business travellers. As Quest grows, its offering continues to improve, and Quest Takapuna is a spacious property with plenty of storage space in the apartments, helping to cater to the extended stay traveller as well as the short stay corporate domestic traveller. Natural light throughout the building has been increased, and apartment outlook has been enhanced with the creation of an attractive courtyard at the rear of the building. Quest is already the largest apartments hotels brand in Australasia, and in New Zealand, now has more than $2 billion of property and assets and is set to turn over more than $70 million this financial year. But its stakeholder relationships with customers, franchisees, landlords, and the community in general are what hold the real value for Quest. With all properties locally owned and operated, locals are employed and local businesses are supported with the pantry shopping and restaurant charge-back services offered by Quest. phone 09 442 5959 fax 09 442 5958 admin@airmark.co.nz 35F Constellation Drive Rosedale, Auckland Proud suppliers of Air Conditioning and Ventilation to Quest Hotel Apartments AIR CONDITIONING EXPERTS +64 21 62 32 30 info@aucklandlinings.co.nz www.aucklandlining.co.nz PO Box 300325 Albany, Auckland 0752 auckland_linings • Supply & installation of plasterboard • Plasterboard stopping to level 4 & 5 • Interior & exterior painting • Supply, installation and stop of cement/villaboard • Suspended ceiling systems insulation • Carpentry & laboring services • Preparation for post-line inspection • Fireproofing to NZ standards • Pre-tile fixings • Insurance repairs & property maintenance
