A prime piece of cliff-top land with sweeping views over the Hauraki Gulf will soon be home to what could be New Zealand's most expensive apartments - and a prestigious new home.
The land alone at the Mission Bay address is worth more than $16m and plans lodged with Auckland Council show a three level apartment building complete with an internal lift, underground parking and views from almost every room.
There are also plans for a sprawling two-level home next door - where a five-bedroom house and pool have been demolished.
Architectural drawings show a large home of at least 600sqm including an art room, office and family room leading out to a landscaped garden and cliff top pool.
Property records show Auckland couple Peter and Judy Jones bought 26 Selwyn Avenue, Mission Bay for $6.93m last year and two neighbouring properties the year before for $4.9m each - a total of $16.73m.
