About
All of life's simple pleasures
Avalon has been built with family and freedom in mind – parks and playgrounds for all generations to enjoy and gentle river trails are right on your doorstep.
As our lifestyles evolve, simplicity seems to matter more to us. These apartments, with their modest interior spaces, allow the calming views of the valley to take over and leisure-focused living to become the norm.
The common areas on-site include a full winter garden and communal lobby with landscaped ground floor, covered veranda and residents gym. All with the Hutt River and Fraser Park right on your doorstep.
A nod to the past
The Avalon tower is an iconic piece of New Zealand history. Opened in 1975, the staggering 23,000m2 floor space made it one of Australasia's largest TV studios. It is impossible to talk about the birthplace of New Zealand’s public television broadcasting without a nostalgic reflection.
In those heady days when everything was brand new and nothing was impossible, New Zealand became a proud community beaming popular shows like It’s in the Bag with Selwyn Toogood, offering the chance of fame and home appliances or embarrassment and booby prizes; and Top Town, an Avalon production that went around New Zealand pitting towns against each other in a series of obstacle courses.
Let us not forget Telethons, a 24-hour live television spectacular securing donations for charity, or Good Morning which aired for nine years hosted by Jeanette Thomas and covered a suite of magazine lifestyle subjects; Fair Go, and many more.
A secure future
The Avalon tower standing proud and looking over the city, north to the Akatarawa’s and south to the harbour entrance and Wellington City is moving into a new era - this is your opportunity to invest in an iconic piece of New Zealand history.
Simple and modern suburban living creating the opportunity for the history of the tower to live on in its new adaptation as an apartment building. Following on from the exciting past, Avalon Apartments offer a secure future with the building having an NBS of 80% and a once in a lifetime opportunity to live in the stars.
Security has been front of mind with these apartments, with electronic access control to the building and on each floor, with key or electronic access to each apartment. A secure mailroom is located on the ground floor with CCTV and lockable mailbox for each apartment. Secure bike storage is also available.
High Quality interiors
Avalon Apartments have been designed to complement the modernistic architecture that has stood proud in the Hutt Valley for 45 years. They also embrace an aesthetic of industrial rawness in a nod to the building form.
Inspired by the past and built for the future, the building will be fully refurbished with all new building systems and high-quality fit-out designed by award-winning architects, Architecture+, and Landscape Architects, Novo Group.
