It’s long been acknowledged that homeowners in the bays and nearby Remuera have limited choice when they sell their family homes, while wanting to remain in their own neighbourhood.
Rob Miles, project manager for an exciting new development, The Villas – which is situated on a prime, elevated north-west facing site at 43-45 Comins Crescent in Mission Bay, believes these new homes will help fill that need, and interest in the project is already running high.
“These properties have been designed to take full advantage of morning and afternoon sun and they enjoy great views to Sky Tower and Bastion Point,” he says.
Miles explains that a handful of carefully selected industry experts were invited to join a dynamic The Villas team.

“Paterson Cullen Archaus has been involved in a series of successful developments in the area, so they were an obvious design partner choice, and we have Amelia Holmes creating the interiors in her signature style – with carefully selected neutrals and a real focus on liveability,” he says.
The development comprises 10 three, four and five-bedroom villas, plus a dedicated study. Ranging from 284sqm to 354sqm, these residences are significant in size with large bedrooms along with elegant European-style tiled bathrooms and powder rooms.
Because lifestyle is set to be at the core of The Villas’ appeal, each home is designed for maximum privacy and utilisation of natural light with huge windows, climate control, underfloor heating in the bathrooms and home automation for seamless modern living.

The Villas’ kitchens are cutting-edge, with sleek, streamlined design, hidden walk-in sculleries and superior, high-quality Miele appliances.
“The flow from landscaped gardens, through the very spacious living areas to the balcony and view, was a very important aspect of the overall design in the development, and residents enjoy exclusive access to a resort-style pool and cabana,” says Miles.
Market research uncovered that along with downsizers, families are also keen to buy into this popular part of Auckland and Miles says the properties are also designed with them in mind, featuring side-by-side double garaging for each home, plus storage for electric bikes and outdoor leisure equipment such as kayaks and surfboards.
In addition to this, the two larger villas also include an additional media room situated on the ground floor.
Beautifully landscaped, The Villas will exude sub-tropical vibes, perfectly in keeping with the coastal location thanks to carefully chosen plantings, which include eye-catching palms and cycads.
The site is unbeatable with quick, easy access to Mission Bay and Kohimarama, which are friendly, tight-knit communities.

Paula Halford from Bayleys is marketing the property with colleagues Robert Ashton and Louise Stringer. “We are all super-excited about The Villas: the location, the elevation, the views and the fitout.”
She reiterates Miles’ observations about potential buyers.
“It’s amazing for families with working parents who want a maintenance-free home, with lots of green spaces in the neighbourhood. It’s also ideal for downsizers who still want plenty of room with a lock-up-and-leave aspect – and the lift option for easy accessibility, as they grow older.
“The Villas is not like terraced housing or ordinary apartments – it’s a luxury option in a space of its own.”
Meanwhile, Miles says that the current timeline indicates completion will be 16-18 months from construction commencing.
