From Air Force base to waterfront sanctuary, Winton’s final residential development in Launch Bay, Hobsonville Point, embodies sophisticated coastal living where the design and quality of the apartments very nearly outshine the spectacular views. While many are already occupied, the remaining two and three-bedroom apartments all have their distinctive outlook and water view and are ready to be enjoyed.
Winton’s General Manager of Project Delivery, Duncan Elley, says: “They’re loving this special, rare absolute waterfront location and the unerring quality of the apartments. It’s less than a five-minute walk to Catalina Bay’s eateries and farmers’ market and a 30-minute ferry ride to the CBD.
The name Jimmy’s Point stems from local lore about a man named Jimmy who, years ago, was known to regularly fish from a little viewing platform on the point, but its history runs far deeper. Hobsonville was originally a site for both land and sea-based aviation, the area dotted with a collection of hangars, barracks and houses and a base for the impressive Short Sunderland flying boats.
“Winton really did save the best for last. It’s the eighth project within Launch Bay, pulling out all the stops with an architectural design that truly reflects the superior location, complimented by a mix of thoughtful material specifications.
“The architects ensured the building’s design and use of strong, natural materials references the surrounding coastal environment. Its terracotta facade reinterprets in a contemporary way Hobsonville’s history as the site of a brickworks, tying in with the hue of terracotta-tiled rooves on the nearby Officers’ Houses.
“The use of floor-to-ceiling windows maximises the outlook from every angle and frames some of the best sea views in all of Hobsonville Point, which can never be built out.”
While a number of apartments are already occupied, some outstanding apartments remain including ground-level apartments with water views and their own private fenced gardens and upper-level residences with balconies exalting spectacular water views and sunsets. The pet-friendly apartments sit in a premium position above the coastal walkway, with the Waitemata wrapping around the site.
Residences come with one or two secure private parking spaces and additional storage rooms, lockers, or over-bonnet storage, depending on the apartment type.
One resident who recently moved into Jimmy’s Point says: “The ambience of the location has impacted on our quality of life and sense of wellbeing.”
Another comments: “The apartments are so well structured that we never hear anyone else.”
And another owner says: “What we love the most about our Jimmy’s Point Apartment is the spaciousness and the careful use and design of space.”
The residents have also remarked on how much they love the relaxed lifestyle here, released from the extensive maintenance of their previous properties.
