Enjoy the urban sophistication offered by Skhy apartments. An award-winning, high-end apartment building completed in 2018 from the conversion of the iconic 1970s Winstone building.
This high stud New York style loft/warehouse studio apartment is a (circa.) 100sqm blank canvas. Incredibly private and quiet, it is zoned Mixed Use permitting both residential and commercial activities.
Architects' designs (see photos) have been completed for the conversion from the existing studio layout to one bedroom plus study (studio or office), as well as two bedroom plus study.
Boasting luxurious common areas all maintained to the highest standard by its body corporate; down to daily rubbish collection, impeccably kept gardens and common space maintenance and cleaning.
Located in the vibrant and chic Uptown precinct, Skhy is serviced by an impressive array of dining options; informal and formal; cafes, restaurants and bars - all in close proximity.
Skhy is in the much sought after Grammar Zone.
Enjoy easy access to public transport with buses to the CBD every two minutes (peak hour) and Grafton train station only a 5 min walk (as is the new CRL station Maungawhau, set to open 2026). Driving? The Southern, Northern and Northwestern motorways are all less than 1km away.
Both Auckland University and AUT are a 10 minute stroll past the iconic Grafton Bridge and historic cemetery. City Hospital is a similar distance, as are The Domain and Newmarket Broadway/Westfield.
Skhy was designed by renowned NZ architect Pip Cheshire (CNZM) who was made a Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit in the 2024 New Years Honours List for "services to architecture and commitment to the betterment of New Zealand's built environment". Skhy was also recognised in the 2022 book, Architecture and Home, by acclaimed expert and author, Debra Millar.
