18 | REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT Safari Construction Group T T Bernadette Cooney Apartment complex raises the bar “Mountain Oak Apartments are designed with flexibility in mind, and owners have the option to live in them full-time, buy them as a residential investment and have them rented long-term to locals, or buy as an investment for short-term visitor accommodation.” Known for its high-quality hotel and apartment complexes nationwide, Safari Group is now offering its latest residential development, Mountain Oak Queenstown Apartments. Located in Frankton’s Remarkables Park, this new project marks Safari Group’s fifth Queenstown development, which includes Ramada Queenstown Central. The fourth to be built within Remarkables Park, Mountain Oak Apartments joins Safari’s nearby previous developments – Ramada Remarkables Park, Wyndham Garden and La Quinta by Wyndham, the last of which opened in 2020. The five-level complex is located at the corner of Red Oaks Drive and Pin Oak Drive, and features 141 one- two- and three-bedroom apartments. Apartments range in size from 49sqm to 276sqm, and altogether there are 36 one-bedroom and one-bedroom flexi apartments (offering additional office or storage space), 40 two-bedroom and two-bedroom flexi apartments, four three-bedroom apartments, plus four two-bed ground-floor apartments with private entry, and three penthouses. There are also 54 dual-key apartments, which is two separate residences under one property title. Dual-key apartments share an entry way, but two separate front doors, allowing the opportunity for double rental income. Mountain Oak Apartments has 109 car parks, including a 26-space bi-park stacker system. Originally conceived as a hotel/apartment complex, the plan was delayed due to Covid 19, prompting Safari Group to pivot and launch Mountain Oak Apartments as a purely residential project, says Safari Group senior development manager Josh Van Veen. “Mountain Oak Apartments are designed with flexibility in mind, and owners have the option to live in them full-time, buy them as a residential investment and have them rented long-term to locals, or buy as an investment for short-term visitor accommodation,” says Josh. Inspired by Queenstown’s natural beauty and designed to optimise views of The Remarkables and Coronet Peak, Mountain Oak Apartments offer convenience and lifestyle, just a 15- minute drive from Queenstown and three kilometres from the airport. With flexible purchasing options from 365day visitor accommodation, permanent living or long-term rental investment, Safari Group provides an on-site long-term residential manager for investment and live-in buyers, and a short-term visitor accommodation management service for accommodation investors. Mountain Oak Apartments is poised to attract a diverse range of buyers, from those seeking permanent residences to investors looking to capitalise on Queenstown’s vibrant tourism and property market. Sitting within a bustling precinct, the structure is precast concrete and steel frame and column with an aluminium and glazed curtain-wall system finished with powder- coated aluminium joinery. Emphasis has been given to an interior with sound-proofing acoustics, safety and security features, smart interiors and desirable amenities, says Josh. “It’s very nicely appointed with smart, efficient and modern layout and fit-out, including tiled bathrooms with underfloor heating.” Safari Group’s reputation for delivering high-quality hotel and residential investment properties has made them a trusted name in New Zealand’s real estate market for over 25 years. Safari Group brings an integrated and comprehensive methodology to every new development, handling all aspects of project management including acquisition, consenting, construction, fit-out and compliances. The five-level complex is located at the corner of Red Oaks Drive and Pin Oak Drive, and features 141 one- two- and three-bedroom apartments.
