Oceania’s new $150 million development, The Helier, has created lavish living that doesn’t have to end at retirement.
The new complex located in the Auckland suburb of St Heliers has provided a range of bespoke offerings never before seen in New Zealand, proving popular among residents since its opening in December last year. The village boasts outstanding panoramic views of Auckland’s Waitematā Harbour and contains 79 premium living apartments, coupled with 32 private care residences. Amenities include an indoor swimming and spa pool, wine library, private gym and wellness centre, cinema, beauty salon, butler service and chauffeur-driven hybrid Jaguar vehicles.
The Helier has been likened to a five-star hotel, allowing residents to experience personalised restaurant-quality dining, daily happy hours and canapes from in-house executive chef and fusion cuisine specialist, Charles Pihera.
“Officially opening The Helier’s doors was a tremendously exciting moment for Oceania,” said chief executive Brent Pattison.
“We’re proud to be paving the way for the next level of luxury retirement living in New Zealand."
Following the arrival of The Helier’s first residents moving into their new homes, group general manager of property Andrew Buckingham said the process has been incredibly smooth.
“Seeing everything come together has been so rewarding. So much thought and care has gone into this project,” said Buckingham.
“The building's shape allows for maximum daylight and offers stunning views, while fitting seamlessly and harmoniously into the existing neighbourhood. With luxurious and lavish finishes across the entire premises, residents will truly feel like they're coming home to their own oasis.”
Depending on the size and outlook of each apartment, prices for The Helier range from NZD 1.76 million to NZD 3.5 million.
Care residences within the complex opened in February 2024. The residences, which have been set-up like premium studio apartments, and offer assistance for residents who require a little more support.
“By having care suites in the same building, residents can seamlessly move from retirement living to aged care living. This unique feature provides a much easier, less stressful transition for residents and their families if care is required,” said Pattison.
