Vacant floorspace in central Auckland’s Wynyard Quarter is in short supply but the opportunity has arisen for prospective occupants to lease Level 2 of the award-winning Fonterra Centre.
Level 2 in the Fonterra Centre at 109 Fanshawe Street, Auckland has 2,259sq m of floorspace with a 120sq m deck and includes access to up to 30 basement car parks.
The Fonterra Centre is a building that perfectly reflects the co-op’s ‘Good Together’ philosophy. It is a space that enables people to innovate, collaborate, and connect.
The property, designed with a 5 Green Star base build, has been labelled the ‘future of work’ with its functional fit-out and sustainable features.

The environmentally sustainable features include energy efficient thermal envelope and building services design, and a water conservation system using rainwater harvesting. The building also offers end-of-trip facilities.
The property includes 200sq m of roof mounted solar thermal panels that provide domestic hot water heating.
Fonterra has taken the initiative to offer this floor to the market as part of its response to the increase in flexible working. They have looked at how they can better occupy their remaining space to promote greater connectivity and productivity within the property, while freeing up space for another organisation to use.
Fonterra is excited to welcome a new cafe operator to the lobby cafe, being Graze Canteen. They’re the same operator as the very popular Rude Boy, Rise Deli, and Winona Forever cafes.
There’s a range of other amenities in the general vicinity, including parks and green spaces, the newly constructed Viaduct Car Park building, exciting hospitality options in North Wharf, two supermarkets, and public transport options.
Recent research from Colliers indicates there is a vacancy rate of only 1.2 per cent for prime office space in Wynyard Quarter, while the nearby Viaduct Harbour is only 2 per cent and the Britomart precinct is 1.7 per cent.
Paul Dyson, Director of Office Leasing at Colliers, says Wynyard Quarter is one of the most sought-after locations in Auckland.
“As we move into a post Covid-19 environment, more businesses are drawing their staff back to the workplace and high-quality office buildings that inspire team members to ‘earn the commute’ are experiencing significant demand,” Dyson says.
“The Fonterra Centre is a highly functional workspace that will provide future occupants with a leading-edge location for them to operate from.
“As we have seen with Beca’s impending move to Wynyard Quarter it is home to some of the city’s most high-profile and internationally renowned tenants, including Google, IBM, Microsoft, and ASB, among others.”
Dyson says moving into an existing facility has considerable financial benefits.
“With an impressive fit-out in place, the future occupants will be able to save costs as the price of building fit-outs continue to rise.
“Any future lease agreement will also include the existing furniture, providing further convenience for the incoming tenant.”
“Wynyard Quarter offers favourable proximity to Auckland’s CBD and is enjoying a development boom. The mixed-use precinct is home to commercial, hospitality, residential, and arts facilities making for a highly desirable location right on the waterfront.
“It’s hard to understate how rare this is to find an entire floor of this size available in Wynyard Quarter and we encourage all interested parties to make contact with us so we can examine their options.”
