A "top secret" 24-storey luxury apartment tower planned for Auckland's North Harbour has been snapped up by exclusive buyers months before the public gets a look in.
The 72.5 metre apartment planned for Kaipiho Lane, Albany will feature more than 280 apartments, 11 lifts, a helicopter landing pad, residents' cinema, swimming pool, clubhouse, ballroom, 24 hour concierge and robotic valet parking.
A website marketing the development in Chinese, www.kaipiho.co.nz, said the apartments "caused a subscription frenzy" when they were promoted on Chinese social media app WeChat.
Within two weeks, more than 40 apartments had sold, the website said.
The website, which was removed after Stuff made inquiries, said the apartment was half subscribed within two weeks, with certain apartment layouts selling out.
Harcourts agent Maggie Gao, whose name and number featured on the website, said the promotion was intended for "friends and family".
The apartments would be advertised in English in February, when a show home would also be ready, she said.
