Epsom development brings New York loft-style to Auckland

A new apartment project blends New York industrial design with Epsom's classic charm.

A bold new chapter in Auckland apartment living is beginning in Epsom with the introduction of a residential project inspired by New York’s iconic lofts.

Known for its established avenues and sought-after school zones, Epsom will soon add The Stables—part of the Parkview precinct—to its urban landscape, bringing a contemporary edge to one of the city’s most traditional suburbs.

Drawing from New York’s warehouse conversions, The Stables reinterprets urban style for Aucklanders, offering apartments with soaring ceilings, generous windows, and surfaces that celebrate texture and depth.

Exposed finishes, open-plan layouts, and abundant natural light combine to craft interiors that feel expansive yet welcoming.

 “New York lofts are about character and volume, but also about adaptability,” says Gleneagle's Project Director, Michael Grassi.

“We’ve taken that idea and applied it to a local lifestyle - something refined, simple and enduring, rather than flashy.”

Designed by Paul Brown & Associates with CMP Construction appointed as Main Contractor, The Stables stands apart with its use of enduring materials—brick, concrete, and steel—giving the building both a sense of permanence and a nod to the area’s historic roots. The project’s namesake references the racing stables that once shared the land, blending the past with forward-focused design.

Apartments are sized to suit a range of buyers, from singles and couples to downsizers and growing families. Every home is designed for comfort and character, emphasizing craftsmanship over uniformity.

Grassi notes this approach melds international style with a sensitivity to how Aucklanders want to live.

Location is another headline feature. Residents will enjoy direct access to the green expanse of Cornwall Park and the prestige of being within the Double Grammar Zone—a combination that is hard to rival elsewhere in the city. “

You can’t replicate this location,” says Grassi. “It’s five minutes from Newmarket, ten from the CBD, and yet it feels completely peaceful. You walk out your door, and you’re in the park.”

Daily living at The Stables is designed for ease and enjoyment. Amenities include a lap pool, purpose-built gym, wellness studio, and collaborative workspaces that cater to convenience and wellbeing. Thoughtful extras, like a car-sharing fleet for residents, introduce clever alternatives for urban mobility.

As the first stage within Parkview’s masterplan, The Stables sets a high bar for the precinct’s identity and long-term value. “This isn’t about quick turnover,” says Grassi. “It’s about creating something that still feels relevant in twenty years’ time.”

With entry prices beginning at $530,000, this development opens the door to one of Auckland’s best addresses, promising not just modern living but lasting confidence in both quality and community.

For those seeking a distinctive blend of global design and local lifestyle, The Stables presents a rare and timely opportunity.
