The International is rapidly becoming New Zealand’s most iconic premium lifestyle residence. Behind the original Grand Hotel facade, Dominion Construction is building 90 freehold apartments over 17 levels with unrivalled amenities, shared spaces and generosity of space and light. 20 elegant apartments are available from $1.950 million for a two-bedroom two-bathroom apartment. Six expansive, exceptionally-designed penthouse apartments offering floor areas from 263 square meters to 328 square meters are still available.

All apartments at The International are generously sized and beautifully appointed. They are contemporary and timeless: it is a luxuriously restrained aesthetic using materials that have been chosen for both their beauty and durability – natural stone, custom timber cabinetry and wide-boarded timber flooring.

Each individual space has been crafted around the view and the indoor-outdoor flow, creating apartments that are simply unrivalled in this country. They are open-plan, expansive spaces offering the kind of layout and sophisticated living more usually found in well-designed standalone houses, allowing their owners to capitalise on the benign Auckland climate. Each apartment is loaded with up-to-the-minute technology and building systems. All apartments are fully air-conditioned and centrally heated, with heat pumps ducted into every living & bedroom. Insulation easily exceeds the highest energy efficiency requirements of the current building code, and all ceiling lighting will be high-efficiency LED. They also whisper quiet, thanks to the double-glazed acoustic glass with inter-tenancy walls that also exceed the current building code.

All residents in The International have access to a concierge service, IT support, residents’ dining room, heated outdoor swimming pool, cinema, wine cellar and library – facilities more commonly found in a five-star hotel than an apartment building.

With the passing of the Overseas Investment Act of 2018, the purchasing of properties in New Zealand became limited to residents or citizens; The International however, was granted an exception by the New Zealand government, allowing foreign buyers in on this incredible opportunity.
