The opportunity to secure up to 4,045 sq m of fitted-out office space across two floors in an award-winning, Green Star premises in Parnell has become available, with potential for smaller floor options also up for grabs for the right occupiers.
Commonly referred to as the Slider Building, the premier quality office space’s formal address is 8 Stanley Street, Parnell, Auckland.
It was constructed by highly respected Haydn & Rollett Construction in 2010 with award-winning architects Warren and Mahoney.
The environmentally friendly premises received an award of merit at the Property Council New Zealand Awards in 2011.

It has immense profile and branding opportunities fronting Stanley Street, which also provides easy access to major arterial routes, north, south, east, and west.
A key stand-out for prospective occupiers will be the staff-focussed benefits arising from its proximity to major public transport options, including the InnerLink bus service and Parnell train station, as well an abundance of amenities, such as the Auckland Domain, Stanley Street tennis courts, Next Gen gym, numerous hospitality options in Parnell Rise, and plenty of local convenience store options nearby.
Matt Lamb, Director of Office Leasing at Colliers, has been appointed to market the property for lease with colleague Paul Dyson.
The property is available to occupy as soon as the fourth quarter of 2022.
Lamb says the focus on quality premises, ease of access and amenities to attract and retain staff in a highly competitive employment environment and shift in hybrid working style makes the Slider Building a highly attractive option for future-focussed occupiers.
“Demand for top-quality office space exceeds supply in Auckland’s CBD and city fringe locations. A trend we are not only anecdotally hearing but backed up by our latest Colliers Research data, which shows the prime vacancy rate declining across Auckland,” Lamb says.
“Businesses are laser focussed on operational performance and are acutely aware of the need for both flexible working options and the need to provide a high-quality office environment for their staff. They need to ‘earn the commute’ after a long period of non-office-based-activity and get the most out of their office environment that provides collaborative, functional, and aspirational workspace.
“The Slider Building is rich in style and profile with the Property Council New Zealand award of merit highlighting the exceptional quality of the building, and the ability to secure naming rights and a leading-edge fit-out in place is a massive win for occupiers.
“This provides a real opportunity to get business brand exposure, a massive saving on capital expenditure requirements and the delivery of peace of mind for occupiers, as the quality premises has an existing fit-out enabling a true ‘plug and play’ option for occupiers who may be struggling to secure contractors to complete fit-out works on time with current labour and material capacity constraints.”
Dyson, Director of Office Leasing at Colliers, says the available floor space across the two efficient floor plates provides immense opportunity for one or more tenants.
“The first-floor space spans approximately 1,985sq m, while the second floor, currently connected by an internal staircase, spans approximately 2,060sq m,” Dyson says.
“While the property lends itself towards one major occupier looking to secure high-quality space for their new headquarters across all 4,045sq m, there is an opportunity for smaller occupiers looking for approximately 1,000sq m of space or more to also set up business.
“Although public transport options are plentiful, there are also abundant car parks available on-site for businesses that require more flexibility and regular travel options across Auckland or further afield.
“Given the increasingly tighter office market conditions and the lack of such exceptionally high-profile premises of this scale available with a fit-out in the area, we urge occupiers to enquire immediately to discuss their leasing options.”
