Working alongside Cornerstone Partners our goal was to breathe new life into this 1970s building through a complete refurbishment and seismic strengthening, ensuring it met the demands of modern multi-tenant leasing. To achieve this, we introduced an additional entry accompanied by a new core that included lifts, stairs, and upgraded toilet facilities, creating a seamless flow for occupants. To improve structural integrity, fire-rating, and overall user comfort, part of the timber first floor was replaced with concrete. The façade received a contemporary makeover, giving the building a fresh and inviting presence.

This renovation set the stage for premium tenancy opportunities, attracting TAS and New Zealand Oil & Gas, who signed leases for the revitalized space. To further enhance the experience, we designed both tenancies, skillfully integrating them into the basebuild programme for a cohesive and polished result. The outcome is a transformed building ready to welcome its tenants into a modern and vibrant hub.
