KEY POINTS:
The country's most expensive - and largest - apartment could be carved in half to get a sale.
David Henderson, owner of the Princes Wharf apartment on the Auckland waterfront, said he was considering selling half. Its size has been put at 1000sq m (about a quarter of an acre).
Although many people had looked through the $10 million apartment, no one had put their signature on a bill of sale for the entire floor above the 166-room Hilton Hotel. Mr Henderson had the outdoor pool painted and the apartment redecorated before putting it up for sale in January. As he enjoys living there, he is tempted to continue doing so - but in only half of it.
As it has two lifts and separate entrances, it could easily be subdivided.
Fiona Mackenzie, of Kellands, who put the apartment on the market, is confident it will sell.
She wants Mr Henderson to wait before making any decisions as such expensive properties can take some time to sell. She said interested parties from Australia and Europe were coming to see the apartment in the next month and internet inquiries remained strong.
