Design

It is rare within the Tauranga CBD to be able to re-develop a whole city block with Four main street frontages. Naturally, urban design integration into the city is paramount and has a direct influence on the best design solution.

This can be seen throughout Northern Quarter with a blend of successful attributes such as:

• Activation of all 4 street frontages which are, Willow Street, Harington Street, Hamilton Street and a portion of The Strand.
• Permeability and an introduction of finer grain spaces and pedestrian movement, which enhances interaction throughout the city and improves access to services
• Strong architectural form and building identity
• Environmentally friendly Greentstar design with a large pedestrian / shared street, that is protected from traffic noise and pollution
• Legibility of street entries for people and vehicles
• Recognition of this historic harbour location, with a timeless contemporary architecture that includes layers of heritage references, through material selection and façade design

Given the site context and location within the Tauranga CBD, this development is situated central to various amenities which are appropriate for the proposed office and hospitality space use. It is well connected to transport networks, primary movement corridors, recreation and amenities.

Creating

Providing a social space for all Northern Quarter residents with on-site eateries, central courtyard and outdoor space, this is a truly unique office and hospitality workspace in the Tauranga CBD. Creating a workplace where residents only have to step outside the front door to take in the fresh ocean breeze and relax while enjoying a coffee or a bite to eat.

Flexible office & hospitality space for lease in Tauranga

The upper three levels of the Northern Quarter building have been designed as quality working environments with maximum flexibility of office space, excellent natural daylight and ventilation, together with mechanically controlled spaces.

The orientation of each office and hospitality space has informed the façade design and composition of claddings, with visual connections to the active pedestrian street and main streets, as well as solar protection from excessive heat gain. This is all informed by the Green Star Design approach and creating an excellent sustainable building that is low maintenance, energy efficient and a pleasant environment for people to work, meet and relax.

The internal street provides a unique opportunity to enjoy a dedicated pedestrian open space which is unusual for an inner-city site. Therefore, part of the ground floor has been identified for hospitality tenants with entries off Willow Street, Harington Street, Hamilton Street and The Strand; an ideal indoor and outdoor flow with external seating for conversation or just relaxation.
