Elegance. Grace. Refinement. The qualities we associate with the art of diplomacy apply just as

comfortably to The Diplomat Apartments and Chancery.

For this is a unique Wellington development, where the diplomatic premises on the first two levels

set the tone.

The Diplomat will stand on the prominent Thorndon location once occupied by the notable old

villa housing the Cook Islands High Commission. Their diplomatic offices and the High Commissioner’s

residence will continue to be based there, but on The Diplomat’s first two levels. Above them will

be nine luxury apartments - just two per floor - and one penthouse.

Right from the personal greeting of the live-in concierge, who will oversee comings and goings

through the day and deliver the mail to your door, to the grand reception foyer where your lift

awaits, The Diplomat promises a life of privilege.

This promise is fulfilled as you step into your apartment. Grand proportions, high studs and the

best-quality fittings and finishes combine with classic touches such as high skirting boards and open

gas fires to create a unique ambience for you to enjoy and guests to admire.

The diplomatic address on Pipitea and Mulgrave Streets is pure class. In the heart of Thorndon,

this locale has a historic reputation for quality which other recent projects by the developers, Tepaki

Group, continue to enhance.

As any Wellingtonian will tell you, this is the upmarket centre of the city, where embassies, consulates

and grand old homes rub shoulders with the Houses of Parliament, the Courts, and the offices of

Central Government.

This is where you will find The Diplomat, and a new standard of prestige and opulence. Welcome.

A suburb cannot remain as enduringly popular as Thorndon simply because it is fashionable. Thorndon’s

reputation is built on fundamentals - excellent all-year sun, gentle contours and proximity to the places that

matter: the CBD, harbour and a whole range of top quality amenities.

Within Thorndon, The Diplomat enjoys a particularly favoured corner position. From your windows and

balconies the vista will take in the sweep of historic Thorndon, the tree-clad town belt of the Tinakori Hills,

out onto the harbour and over the Hutt Valley.

The northerly aspect of the main frontage ensures maximum sun, while the building behind protects it from

southerlies.

Just a few minutes easy stroll away is Lambton Quay, Wellington’s ‘Golden Mile’ and home to some of the

country’s finest stores. Tinakori Road and Thorndon Quay offer more shopping opportunities – antiques, home

furnishings and more.

Closer at hand lie the Beehive, Parliament and the wonderfully gothic General Assembly Library.

History abounds in the area. The beautifully crafted Old St Paul’s Cathedral is a neighbour, while just up the

road is the carefully restored home of author Katherine Mansfield.

To meet everyday needs, a large supermarket is just a few steps away. Drycleaners, shoe repairers, a pharmacy,

banks and post shop, along with other specialty stores, are all nearby on busy Molesworth Street.

Fine dining is well catered for in the area, with a range of restaurants and cafés to suit all tastes and occasions.

The Backbencher, featuring witty larger-than-life effigies of top politicians, is always a lively spot.

Sports fans, spectators and participants are also in their element. The Stadium and Hurricanes, in which

Wellington takes such justifiable pride, are at your backdoor. Running and walking tracks abound in the Tinakori

Hills, and it is just as easy to enjoy a jog or stroll along the waterfront. Also within range are the Botanic

Gardens, while the Thorndon pool is a wonderful place to enjoy a refreshing dip in the summer.

Lobby of The Diplomat Apartments

Spaciousness, the hallmark of first class living in any city, is a major feature of The Diplomat.

To achieve this, the substantial, purpose-built new development features only nine top quality

apartments in one building, ranging upwards from 200 square metres to 450 square metres, with

balconies.

The expansive interior spaces of these apartments are far removed from your typical city pad, having

more in common with the well-proportioned, quality homes of established Wellington suburbs like

Khandallah or Kelburn.

Grand proportions are accentuated with open gas fires, generous stud heights and classic details like

high skirting boards and traditional mouldings, with provision for floor length drapes and modern

fixtures, such as home theatre and top-end audio installations.

The large lounge and dining areas, ideally placed for sun and view, offer plenty of room to spread

out and display collections or favourite pieces of furniture. The large, well-equipped kitchen, which

can be either electric or gas, is set apart from the living areas, but also enjoys views through the

main room windows.

Each of the three bedrooms is big enough to be a haven, den or personal living space as well as a

superbly private, peaceful and comfortable place for sleeping. Each has its own ensuite with shower,

underfloor heating and heated mirror, with a further central bathroom with large spa bath.

A feature of The Diplomat is that the third bedroom offers versatility, designed to be converted

into a self-contained studio flat with cooking and laundry facilities and a separate entrance. This

could be the ideal solution for an older relative, independent younger family member, long-stay

guest or as a home-office.

Secure basement parking, with two car parks for each apartment, along with pet-friendly features

make the Diplomat Apartments a complete package for inner city living.

The quality of The Diplomat will be immediately apparent from the street. The exterior, modern

yet characterful, has been designed to complement the adjoining building. It continues the distinctive

multiple gables and orange terracotta tiles on a stepped structure, with “punched” windows and

cream exterior, to create a unified structure with real presence.

Large, well-placed windows - double glazed for both warmth and sound proofing - draw natural light

and views inside. The connection with the world outside is strengthened with balconies where you

can indulge a little gardening, enjoy the sun and views, have a barbecue with friends and colleagues,

or exercise a pet.

The Diplomat is a building fitted for the 21st Century, with high speed internet access and Sky

Digital available in every apartment.

With top quality materials and finishes inside and out, top-of-the-line appliances will complete an

ambience of prestige and opulence.

With its diplomatic offices and residence, considerable attention has been paid to security. The

Chancery entrance provides a grand feature at ground level, while residents will have their own,

more discreet entrance nearby.

There will be a live-in manager and guard, acting as Concierge during the day, with CCTV-

monitoring of the ground floor entryways, which can only be accessed by card or remote control.

Visitors and residents will pass by the Concierge reception desk and studio apartment before reaching

the lift or stairwell - both restricted to card or key holders.

Vehicle access to the building is by remote control. The parking area of 21 spaces - more than

sufficient for only nine apartments - will also be CCTV-monitored.

The Developers

A number of quality developments have recently enhanced the position of Thorndon as an extremely

desirable place to live. Tepaki Group has been behind two of the finest - the prestigious Kate

Sheppard Apartments opposite Parliament, and Stadium Gardens on Thorndon Quay, noted for

its large atrium which fills the entire core of the building.

Wellington-based Tepaki Group continues to apply its unique brand of spaciousness and enduring

quality to other residential projects. Its reputation has also led to offshore involvement, developing

5 star resorts for luxury travellers in the Pacific.

The Architects

Peddle Thorp & Montgomery have designed several of Wellington’s significant buildings, including

the award-winning Mobil-on-the-Park and HP/Hotel Intercontinental towers. Stand-out residential

projects include the Stadium Gardens and City Lodge apartment complexes. Along with private

sector work around New Zealand, this Wellington-based firm have also completed a number of

significant Government projects, including several Ministerial office suites in Bowen House.

The practice is part of an international group which has designed over 100 major commercial

projects throughout New Zealand, Australia and South East Asia - a record unmatched by any other

Australasian firm.
