Eke Panuku redevelopment of Wynyard Quarter

We've partnered with property developer Willis Bond & Co to build up to 500 new homes in the central area of Wynyard Quarter.

The development’s first residents were welcomed in December 2017 to Wynyard Central, overlooking Daldy Street Linear Park and Amey Daldy Park. Wynyard Central provides 113 residences, comprising 25 pavilions, eight townhouses and 80 apartments. Williams Eatery, La Petite Fourchette, Wine Runners and Barfoot & Thompson are all doing business in the ground-floor retail space.

A further 51 apartments with retail space have been added to the residential portfolio at 132 Halsey Street, and 150 more homes with ground floor retail space in the 30 Madden residential development.

Between Madden and Pakenham Streets, where residential and commercial buildings meet, a network of laneways connect and act as the veins of the neighbourhood, pumping life and character between the spaces. The laneways feature shops, cafes, as well as essential community facilities.

Daldy and Jellicoe Streets are already great examples of beautiful streetscapes in Wynyard Quarter. But it’s not just what’s on the surface that counts: much of the work is happening below ground.

New piping, combined with landscape design, filters stormwater before it flows into the harbour. The sewer network has been upgraded to support the increased population forecast for the area.

Near Amey Daldy Park, a specially designed wastewater pump station stores 400,000 litres of wastewater. Not your regular pumpstation, this award winning 10.5-metre high structure has curved walls to reflect the nearby silos and doubles as public toilet facilities..

This small pocket park is part of a green connection that runs from Victoria Park, along Daldy Street and will eventually expand onto Wynyard Point, north of Silo Park.

Behind the fences surrounding the park are future development sites. Amey Daldy Park will eventually be surrounded by more apartments and office buildings. It will continue to be used and enjoyed by the people who live and work in Wynyard Quarter for years to come.

We’re working with Orams Marine to create additional infrastructure to capitalise further on growth in this sector. This will enable Tāmaki Makaurau / Auckland, and Aotearoa / New Zealand, to take a leading role in the competitive international marine industry.

A location known as Site 18 on the corner of Beaumont and Jellicoe Streets has been transformed into a marine centre that supports a superyacht refit facility. In the future it will also include a travel lift shed, commercial buildings and apartments. This marine centre will create more than 500 jobs and give a major economic boost to the marine and tourism industries.

We've partnered with Precinct Property to develop 48,000sqm of commercial space in the centre of Wynyard Quarter.

Precinct Property is working with some of Aotearoa / New Zealand’s best architects to design an innovation precinct which offers a hub for people to work in sustainable buildings, with good transport links, functional streetscapes, and welcoming public spaces nearby.

With the completion of 10 Madden and N. Cole Building, Precinct Property reached an exciting milestone in 2021 by completing stage two out of three in their development plans for the precinct. These developments follow the completion of the award-winning Mason Brothers and 12 Madden Street buildings already included in their impressive portfolio.

The third and final stage of the innovation precinct started construction in early 2022. Neighbouring the recently completed 10 Madden commercial development, stage three will introduce three new buildings, 124 Halsey Street, 117 Pakenham Street and the Flowers Building. These new builds will offer premium office space and be at the forefront of sustainable design. Precinct Property is targeting a Green Star rating of 6-star and a 5-star NABERSNZ rating for their new developments, and once complete they will be in good company with the other world class and sustainable builds in Wynyard Quarter.

Another exciting element within the innovation precinct is co-working and events space GridAKL – powered by Tātaki Auckland Unlimited, that connects technologists, designers, digital content makers, product designers, and startups in a shared area.

The Lysaght building was the first space within the innovation precinct, attracting GridAKL from an early stage in Wynyard Quarter’s regeneration. This beautiful art deco building was upgraded to not only meet the needs of fast-paced innovative businesses, but to also receive a 5 Green Star rating.

Surrounding the hotel is a stunning water’s edge promenade called Ūrunga Plaza that opens up an area previously closed off to the public. Included within the public space are four 9m totara pou whenua (carved wooden posts), which have been erected on the east and west facade of the Park Hyatt Auckland. The Tōhunga Toi Ake (artists) who have created these pou are Vern Rosieur, Wikuki Kingi, Sunnah Thompson and Lawrence Makoare. Together, the pou whenua tell the stories of Tāmaki Makaurau.

Completed in 2020, the hotel boasts 195 rooms, food and drink outlets, event spaces, a spa, fitness centre and a 25m pool.

By calling the waterfront theatre home, Auckland Theatre Company brings a cultural dimension to the area’s thriving hospitality, corporate and marine industry activities.

Opened in September 2016, the 650-seat ASB Waterfront Theatre on Halsey Street is available for use by national and international theatre, dance and opera companies. Built on time and to budget by Hawkins Construction, it is the first theatre in the Southern Hemisphere designed for a 5 Green Star rating.

To those in the know, the name "Percy Vos" is synonymous with skill, craftsmanship and innovative boat design.

Many of Aotearoa / New Zealand’s finest vessels were built in the Vos Boatyard, the first and last place in the country to build wooden boats.

Since the doors closed in 1994, the state of the boatshed and slipway had deteriorated and was in great need of restoration.

Eke Panuku worked with the Percy Vos Charitable Trust to revive this historic boatyard and restore it back to its former glory. The boatyard is in the heart of Tāmaki Makaurau / Auckland’s marine precinct and joins other cherished heritage sites across Auckland’s waterfront.

Now that the event has passed, the infrastructure offers a lasting legacy across the waterfront for the public to enjoy.

To host the 36th America's Cup, a resource consent was granted in 2018 that has a duration of 10 years to allow for public access, marine related activity, and events on Hobson and Wynyard Wharf.

Due to this consent, and the unknowns relating to the location of future America’s Cup events, we're working to utilise these new public spaces in a transitional/non-permanent way.

To do this, we're building on the momentum and reputation proven over the last decade across the waterfront of bringing to life spaces in a transitional way.

Much-loved spaces like Silo Park feature temporary infrastructure in the form of basketball courts, playgrounds, a container library, modular ‘kit of parts’ furniture and pop-up events such as silo outdoor cinema and night markets.

With the new spaces offering a blank canvas, we're engaging with the public and drawing on what has worked well in the past to enliven these new spaces with activities, events and public amenities that can be enjoyed by everyone.
