138 | LEFESTYLE Oceania Healthcare: The Helier T T Karen Phelps The Helier wins prestigious award T T to page 140 The Helier by Oceania has clinched the inaugural Oceania Retirement Living & Aged Care Property Award at the 34th annual Property Council New Zealand Rider Levett Bucknall Property Industry Awards. Oceania’s Chief Property Officer Andrew Buckingham says Oceania was thrilled to be recognised. “With the help of our partners we have been able to create a stunning property with world-class amenities which showcases our ongoing innovation in the retirement and aged care living sector. “The Helier absolutely epitomises Oceania’s promise to ‘Believe in Better’ and reimagine the retirement living experience,” he says. Located at 28 Waimarie Street in the heart of St Heliers, Auckland, the property, which opened its doors in November 2023, offers a unique blend of 79 independent living apartments and 32 premium care suites. Oceania has said that what sets The Helier apart is its seamless integration into the existing residential landscape, despite its impressive five-level structure. The team behind The Helier, which included Argon Construction, faced significant challenges building on a volcanic site with a 12-metre excavation requirement. The property offers breath-taking 360-degree views over the Waitematā Harbour and Auckland CBD, while its layout ensures that it doesn’t overshadow neighbouring properties. The building’s facade, stepping down to two stories at the front elevation, maintains the established residential street scale. The Helier’s amenities rival those of a five-star hotel. 0508 448 453 www.gstechnologies.co.nz support@guildspence.co.nz Proudly supporting Oceania Healthcare New Zealand’s premier provider of Innovative Technology Solutions in Healthcare.
