A refurbished office building in Auckland’s Wynyard Quarter is part of an exciting new development called Cracker Bay and will draw strong interest from prospective occupants.
Located at 11 Westhaven Drive in Westhaven, the four-level waterfront building offers multiple options for organisations seeking top-quality office space in an area that has outstanding views across the Westhaven Marina.
The office spaces are ready for fit-out with occupation from August this year. There are five unique premises available and will suit companies with 10 to 100 staff. The enhancement of this building and the surrounding area is part of a multi-stage development in the precinct by Winton.
The first stage is the repurposing of this office building and will also include the redeveloped ground-floor cafe-restaurant offering, which is due to open mid-next year.

Future stages of Winton’s masterplan for Cracker Bay and the wider development footprint will see the construction of Northbrook Luxury Later Living, Auckland’s finest apartment offering The Villard, and the surrounding hospitality offerings.
This multi-venue precinct is intended to sit adjacent to a new public promenade, to seamlessly link Wynyard Quarter with Westhaven Marina.
When finished, Cracker Bay will completely revolutionise this part of Auckland’s waterfront. It will offer residents and occupants the opportunity to enjoy the surrounding hospitality in a sun-soaked setting.
Colliers associate directors Chris Palmer and Charlie Stow have been appointed as master agents to lease the modern office premises via negotiation.
Wynyard Quarter, on Cracker Bay’s doorstep, is rapidly evolving into central Auckland’s business hub where a number of NZX and ASX-listed businesses reside, including many of New Zealand’s most well-known corporate brands, alongside giants of the global tech industry.
Cracker Bay will offer secure basement car parking, an upgraded lift, top-quality end-of-trip facilities, and a reimagined entrance lobby.
Palmer, associate director of office leasing at Colliers, says the property’s redevelopment will make it a highly desirable place to work.
“Developers Winton have an impressive track record and their Ayrburn hospitality development near Arrowtown is proof of their ability to deliver best by design development projects,” Palmer says.
“The upgraded office spaces at Cracker Bay will include new glazing to maximise the views to the Auckland Harbour Bridge and Westhaven Marina. The office suites have upgraded amenities and are ready for new fit-outs, which can be included in negotiations.
“Aside from the ample parking in the building on offer, there are public transport options nearby to enhance the connectivity of the location.”
The latest research from Colliers notes that office vacancy rates in the Wynyard Quarter and neighbouring Viaduct Harbour precincts are negligible, indicating the strength of demand for office space in the area.
As businesses continue to strive to provide team members with attractive workplaces, location and the surrounding amenities remain front of mind. This development at Cracker Bay ticks those boxes.
Stow, associate director of office leasing at Colliers, says prospective companies will be attracted to the opportunity to lease space with a turnkey fit-out.
“The combination of epic views and its prime location will make Cracker Bay one of the most sought-after addresses for office occupiers,” Stow says.
“The office space provides outstanding natural light, and the top floor includes a north-facing deck.
“Winton is open to a flexible range of leasing agreements. We encourage all interested parties to contact us to explore their options and ensure they don’t miss out on being part of one of the most exciting developments in central Auckland.”
