Devon Park, at Stanley Point on Auckland's North Shore, enjoys spectacular views of the Waitemata Harbour, Auckland City, the Hauraki Gulf, Rangitoto and picturesque Devonport; there's always something to see... and you're close to everything with the city just a short ferry ride away.
The building is an icon of New Zealand architecture. Designed by renown architect Neville Price, Devon Park was completed in the late 1960s and is considered a stand out in both function and aesthetic. The concrete slab and column construction separates the structure from the facade, enabling the use of large glazed areas and exterior sheer walls which give it great strength.
The central 12 storey tower is balanced by a two level wing to the west with six apartments, and a three level wing to the east with nine. There are two acres of beautifully maintained grounds providing a tranquil haven for both residents and the many native birds who live on the peninsular. Within the gardens is a superb resort-style swimming pool area.

Innovation has continued at Devon Park with such features as New Zealand's largest domestic solar panel installation, placed discreetly on top of the garages, giving residents a low cost supplementary hot water system.
