16 | Apartments offer unique opportunity The comprehensive development will feature 141 units across eight different configurations. Safari Group: Mountain Oak Apartments T T Karen Phelps REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT Construction is well underway at Mountain Oak Apartments in Queenstown’s soughtafter Remarkables Park precinct, with developer Safari Group reporting significant progress across multiple phases of the ambitious residential project. “Our on-site team and contractors are hitting our projected milestones and we’re pleased with everyone’s efforts,” says Safari sales and marketing coordinator Sophie McEwen. The Safari Construction team has completed the piling with piling and foundation specialist CLL Service and Solutions, and has been working closely with Francis Ward Ltd on the concrete works and reinforcing for the footings. Stewart Civil is working on the excavation and drainage. The comprehensive development will feature 141 units across eight different configurations, offering everything from compact one-bedroom apartments to luxurious penthouses. “There’ll be eight configurations or typologies,” explains Sophie. “And the development will include 16 one-bedroom apartments, 20 one-bedroom ‘flexi’ units with additional office or storage space, 25 two-bedroom apartments, 15 two-bedroom flexi apartments and four three-bedroom apartment options.” The apartments feature premium finishes throughout, including underfloor heating in all bathrooms, heat pumps in living rooms, and acoustically treated floors. Most apartments on levels three and four will feature sliding windows with balustrades, and Sophie says that thoughtfully designed layouts maximise both space and natural light. For investors, the project’s standout feature is its 54 dual-key units, which present unique investment opportunities. “Dual keys are two separate apartments on one title and offer so much flexibility,” says Sophie. “These innovative units share a modern foyer leading to separate entrances, living areas, and appliances, allowing owners to live in one while renting the other, or utilise both as rental investments.” For those seeking premium accommodation, three top-floor penthouses and four private-entry ground-floor apartments complete the offering. “These private-entry units provide the best of both worlds with apartment security and amenities combined with townhouse-style space and privacy,” says Sophie. Mountain Oak’s location in Remarkables Park positions it strategically within Queenstown’s infrastructure. The development sits just two minutes from New World supermarket and Queenstown Airport, with Queenstown Central a mere 15-minute drive away “Remarkables Park enjoys Queenstown’s longest winter sunshine hours, best roading network, long water frontage and exceptional mountain views,” says Sophie. Safari Group’s extensive experience underpins the project’s credibility. It has developed four other successful properties in Queenstown since 2016, and has a 25-year track record across New Zealand. The developer operates as a fully integrated business, managing everything from land acquisition and building design to financing, sales, marketing and construction. afari Group has positioned Mountain Oak as suitable for various buyer profiles: firsthome buyers, downsizers, and those looking for a property investment in Queenstown. The development offers optional on-site professional management services for both long-term residential and short-term visitor accommodation, with the company being the only provider with a 24/7 on-site presence. With completion scheduled for mid-2027 and an OIO exemption certificate allowing non-residents to purchase, Sophie says Mountain Oak represents a significant addition to Queenstown’s residential landscape. “Mountain Oak promises to redefine apartment living in one of New Zealand’s most desirable destinations.” Proud to support Safari Group Ltd 86f Bush Road, Albany, Auckland, 0632 , New Zealand Mapping Your Vision with Precision and Excellence: Trusted Partner for all your Land Surveying Solutions www.apexsurveying.co.nz 09 414 7171 PH: 021 733 018 MOB: |
