Embodying quiet luxury, refined elegance, and architectural ingenuity on the edge of vibrant Saint Marys Bay, Pillars answers the question for discerning downsizers and those looking to right-size, defining what the next chapter in beautifully-considered, low-maintenance living can look like.
Since its launch over summer, 25% of the development has been sold. This strong momentum and confidence are underpinned by the way the homes have been designed to meet the needs of their target market.
Developed by Precinct, New Zealand’s largest owner and developer of premium city real estate, and designed by award-winning New Zealand architecture firm Jasmax, Pillars comprises 20 residences that offer all the functionality, proportions and privacy of a house within a boutique apartment setting.
A selection of generously proportioned homes in Pillars of College remain for sale, each offering floor plans of around 200sqm and two to three-bedroom layouts complete with media rooms.

Penthouse-level amenity is standard throughout, with sophisticated interiors defined by a rich palette of marble, natural timber and bespoke detailing at every turn. A curated selection of material finishes further allows purchasers to tailor their home to reflect their personal style.
Due to the boutique nature of Pillars, buyers have some flexibility to tailor their chosen floor plan to suit their needs, to a degree. This may include reconfiguring two bedrooms into a more expansive master suite, or adapting the media room for creative pursuits, work from home or accommodating guests when required.
Every facet of these apartments – and the development as a whole – has been designed to enable as seamless a transition as possible from a larger property.
All residences enjoy expansive courtyards or generous balconies overlooking the city and the waterfront, and for regular travellers, offer the ultimate in lock-and-leave security and convenience.

Buyers will be joining a community of like-minded neighbours yet with only four apartments per level, peace and privacy is paramount.
Pillars of College offers what is termed “through apartments,” meaning they run from one end of the building to the other, affording optimal natural light, sun and views. While the building’s striking statement facade addresses College Hill, the living spaces overlook the residential suburb of St Marys Bay.
Crafted to exceptional standards with high acoustic performance, the quality glazing, concrete construction and structural columns provide a resounding sense of permanence.
The prized ridgeline site celebrates cinematic, multi-faceted views from upper levels, with the north-facing aspect showcasing St Marys Bay and the harbour beyond. Protected views from the bedrooms extend back across Freemans Bay and beyond, coming alive at night, with sparkling city lights and extraordinary sunsets.

Precinct’s residential sales manager Maria Salmon says Precinct has a deep understanding of the significance of the decision to downsize, which is why Pillars has been designed with such thought, care and consideration.
“The process can be overwhelming, but buyers can be reassured and gain genuine confidence from the fact Precinct is behind Pillars. The opportunity to buy in boutique development of this calibre, in this location, is very limited.”
She also notes that prospective buyers have time to plan and get their affairs in order, with construction expected to take approximately 20 months once it begins.
Louise Stringer, from Bayleys, who is selling Pillars alongside colleague Dominique Donaghy, agrees that Precinct’s reputation provides purchasers with unwavering peace of mind.
“The reason it has sold so well thus far is because it’s a Precinct development. Buyers know it’s going to be completed on time and be completed to a high standard.”
