Construction Now Complete

Willis Bond is proud to announce the completion of Catalina Bay Apartments, an exceptional $160

million waterfront development at the northernmost tip of Hobsonville Point, known as Catalina Bay.

Comprising 73 superb apartments and nine premium terraced homes (known as the Wharf Terraces),

the development boasts an unparalleled seaside village lifestyle, with exceptional local amenity,

breathtaking views of the Waitemata Harbour, and easy access to the water, both for transport links

and leisure.

Developer Willis Bond, worked with leading architecture firm Architectus, and construction partner LT

McGuinness to deliver the project, with over 2,200 people working on-site during the different phases

of its 28-month build.

“This locaSon is truly one of the great waterfront sites in Auckland. The water and surrounding views

are excepSonal thanks to the unique posiSon at the edge of Catalina Bay wharf area. The outlook from

the completed apartments has exceeded our expectaSons,” say Willis Bond Director, David

McGuinness.

Willis Bond has sold 65 residences within the development, predominantly to owner-occupiers, many

of whom are downsizers from Auckland’s north-west. This new community of residents will benefit

from convenient access to award-winning eateries, a popular Farmers Market, The Hangar co-working

space, a coastal boardwalk and a city-bound ferry service that runs all day – all within a minute’s walk

of home.

Designed with sustainability at its forefront, Catalina Bay Apartments has achieved a Homestar 7

design rating, which means the residences are designed to sustainability standards above and beyond

the Building Code. For owners, this translates to homes that are easy to keep warm and healthy and

are more cost effective to run.

The construction team also ensured that over 85% of unused building materials were repurposed or

recycled, significantly reducing waste during the build.

Known for its commitment to quality and craftsmanship, Willis Bond has ensured that Catalina Bay

Apartments meets the same high standards as its previous residential developments, which include

the award-winning Wynyard Quarter in Auckland and Clyde Quay Wharf in Wellington.

“We are also very pleased with the quality of the build and finishes thanks to the hard work of LT

McGuinness and the design team led by Architectus. The apartments have a luxurious and welcoming

feel, and the surrounding environment and amenity makes Catalina Bay a fantasSc lifestyle locaSon,”

says McGuinness.

Catalina Bay Apartments forms Stage 2 of Willis Bond’s masterplan for the Catalina Bay precinct. As

such, the development is designed to respect and enhance the historical significance of the site,

which was once a Royal New Zealand Air Force base. Willis Bond has previously transformed the

neighbouring heritage Air Force buildings into vibrant commercial and retail spaces as its first phase

of creating this unique and sought-after seaside community.

Willis Bond is now offering private viewings of some of the final apartments and Wharf Terraces

available for sale. “There are some beautiful 1-, 2-, and 3-bed options still available, and now that the

building is complete, you can experience them in person. We are looking forward to showing people

what’s on offer in this extraordinary new neighbourhood,” says McGuinness.
