We have just completed the building profiling for Citta Apartments 184 Symonds St bringing the total apartment profiles in Auckland city to 17,001!. You can view the floor-plans for Citta apartments and browse by floor area in Sqm, number of beds, light direction, and number of car-parks each apartment has. Citta apartments has a large shared garden courtyard on the 1st floor featuring a fountain and pergola, nice seating and landscaping.

Many of Citta apartments car-parks are dual car-parks which means you can park two cars in line, one in front of the other. Bedroom layouts are either studio or two bedroom, studios ranging in size from 28 Sqm to 43Sqm and Two bedrooms from 52 – 77Sqm.

Citta is well positioned on the corner of Kyber pass road and Symonds St being close enough to walk into the city or Newmarket 10-15 mins each way, also on the major bus route leading into the city. It is over endowed with good places to eat and drink nearby. This is a great option if you are a couple with two cars as you effectively get two for the price of one because of their size.

The Metropolis apartments at 1 courthouse lane in Auckland is a great example of how architecture can enrich the life of a city, These days, developers are too concerned about making a quick buck that the quality of the buildings suffer and we all have to put up with eyesores that degrade the quality of life for everybody.

Just look at all the leaky buildings that have caused so many people to lose their life savings over the last 10 years…do any of these buildings have any architectural value? In 50 years will they be on the historic buildings register?

The Metropolis apartments will last a long time because it is made with good quality materials and is a real landmark in Auckland, I love it.

Highprofiles has a full building profile on the Metropolis with interactive building floorplans, and Virtual tours. Currently we have five for rent apartment listings, and 1 for sale listing.

I have had a number of people requesting for Eclipse apartments to be added to highprofiles, it often takes some time for new buildings to make it to our site because the data is not available to us.

Eclipse has 175 apartments and brings our total apartment profiles  in Auckland central to 16,525. View the eclipse building profile here and you can view the building floorplans for Eclipse here.

Of interest with Eclipse apartments is the use of instant hot water heating, every apartment has a little white box that provides instantaneous hot water to the shower, handbasin and kitchen sink. The advantage being that they don’t have a big hot water cylinder cupboard taking up valuable space and you only pay for the water which you use.
The building has 14 car parks, a pool, sauna, small gym, and live-in building management.
