Positioned on one of Dunedin's most coveted waterfront addresses, Majestic Mansions is the careful restoration of an iconic St Clair landmark. Originally constructed in 1919, the building has watched over the Esplanade for more than a century and now enters its next chapter through a considered redevelopment that respects its heritage while embracing modern luxury.
Designed by one of New Zealand's most prestigious architectural practices, Mason & Wales, in association with Whitaker Architects, the redevelopment blends heritage character, architectural pedigree and contemporary design in a way rarely seen in the Dunedin market. The project is managed by Feldspar, with construction by Stewart Construction, bringing together a team with the experience and capability required to deliver one of Dunedin's most significant heritage residential restorations.
The remaining residences offer a compelling alternative to traditional beachfront ownership. North-facing living spaces maximise natural light, covered terraces provide a sheltered place to unwind, and master bedrooms capture ocean views across St Clair. Rich timber detailing and double-glazed timber joinery sit comfortably alongside composite stone benchtops, Fisher & Paykel appliances, porcelain-tiled bathrooms and New Zealand wool carpets, creating homes that feel both refined and enduring. A centrally positioned lift completes the picture, bringing modern convenience to one of Dunedin's most recognisable heritage buildings.
Beyond the building itself lies one of Dunedin's most established beachside communities. Swim at the St Clair Hot Salt Water Pool, walk the waterfront, stop for a glass of wine at Piccolo or settle in for dinner at The Esplanade. It is a neighbourhood built around walkability, with some of the city's best establishments only moments from your front door. St Clair's reputation extends well beyond Dunedin, with the beach selected to host the World Surf League Dunedin Pro QS4000 and Pro Junior competition, bringing leading surfers from across the Asia-Pacific region to one of New Zealand's most iconic urban surf breaks.
With anticipated completion in December 2026, Majestic Mansions presents a rare opportunity to secure a home within one of Dunedin's most recognisable waterfront addresses before its next chapter is complete.
SEALS THE DEAL
A landmark building. A waterfront address. A chapter of St Clair history to call your own
