Fitout

BNZ Quay Park

Occupation Date: September 2008 Client: BNZ

The Bank of New Zealand (BNZ) is currently embarking on a major building programme involving two new premises in Auckland and one in Wellington – all of which are being managed by RCP. In June 2008 BNZ moved into the first of these new buildings at Quay Park– a 7,500m2 five storey development close to Auckland’s Britomart area and waterfront. Before its development, the site was formerly a railway yard.

The base building was handed over in December for the commencement of the fit out works which involved the installation of a feature entry stair, structured cabling, security and audio visual works – all in coordination with the fit out construction. The building was progressively handed over to BNZ from mid May and now is home to around 300 staff. Three basement levels provide over 100 car parks.

The building was originally designed to achieve a 4 Star rating from the NZ Green Building Council. However after the launch of Green Star NZ, the developer took the opportunity to revise the design and add further enhancements to the base build to improve the building’s environmental performance with the aspiration to achieve 5 Star rating. This was awarded in April 2008 and the building was only the second in NZ to achieve 5 Star rating.

RCP is currently managing the fit out construction of a BNZ retail branch and café on the Ground Floor at Quay Park. These facilities are scheduled to be completed in late September 2008.
