Developed by Willis Bond & Co, designed by Athfield Architects and constructed by Haydn & Rollett, 132 Halsey sets a new standard in premium apartment living. Located on Auckland’s waterfront, on the corner of Halsey and Madden Streets, 132 Halsey sits in the heart of Wynyard Quarter, Auckland’s most exciting new area.

A centrepiece of this world-class precinct, 132 Halsey is home to a multitude of generous apartment layouts, three bespoke townhouses and ground floor retail and hospitality offerings. A harmonious addition to an ever-evolving precinct, this luxurious residential development represents the perfect blend of waterfront and inner-city living.

Built with efficient and enduring materials, 132 Halsey apartments exemplify the importance of sustainable design and have achieved a mixture of 7 and 8 Homestar ratings. Considerations throughout the development include double glazing, high levels of thermal insulation, green roofs, recycling and composting facilities and low water and energy use appliances.

Designed to stand the test of time, 132 Halsey has been crafted with the utmost care and the highest attention to detail. With sustainability and quality at its core, 132 Halsey showcases the very best of Wynyard Quarter and luxury waterfront living.
