Built in 1913 the building is believed to have been designed by G.W. Alsop, who was also believed to have designed the older parts of Greenlane Hospital. St James has had several reincarnations over its lifetime. Starting as the first YMCA in New Zealand, it has also been the offices for the Auckland District Health and was converted into apartments in the late 1990's at a time when living in the city wasn't all that common. The position made it a perfect choice for an apartment building with the Auckland Art Gallery across the road, Mt Albert Park with its beautiful green spaces just at its doorstep and of course the city shops, department stores, restaurants etc catering for everything from gourmets desires right through to shopping requirements - St James is still on top of the list for a lot of apartment buyers who hunt out the classics.
