WYNYARD QUARTER
• The redevelopment of Wynyard Quarter on Auckland’s
  waterfront will be the largest transformational
  commercial and residential development opportunity
  in central Auckland in the foreseeable future

• Prominently and strategically located to the west of the
  current CBD, Wynyard Quarter incorporates some of
  the best mixed-use waterfront land of any major city in
  New Zealand

• Redevelopment has already started (having commenced
  in 2004) with several major corporate office buildings
  and an entertainment precinct already in place

• A unique and exciting opportunity now exists for the
  next stage of development in the Wynyard Quarter
  Central Precinct

• Waterfront Auckland, the organisation tasked by
  Auckland Council to manage this development, has
  identified three strategic zones for redevelopment:

  • Commercial office development centered around an
    innovation hub

  • Residential including mixed-use apartment and
    townhouse developments

  • International hotel
                                                             Silo Park, Wynyard Quarter

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

                            REVITALISING THE
                            AUCKLAND WATERFRONT
                            • Auckland is New Zealand’s largest city. Home to 1.46
                              million people, Auckland has been experiencing rapid
                              population growth and this trend is expected to continue

                            • Approximately 68% of all visitors to New Zealand arrive
                              through Auckland International Airport annually

                            • Auckland Council has a vision to make Auckland the
                              world’s most liveable city. An important element of
                              this is the redevelopment of the Auckland waterfront,
                              transforming it to a high-quality mixed-use area and
                              uniting the waterfront with the adjacent CBD, showcasing
                              highly sustainable urban and architectural design

                            • The proposed Innovation Hub is a key component of
                              Auckland Council’s economic development strategy
                              providing jobs and growth

                            • The total redevelopment forms part of Auckland Council’s
                              Waterfront Plan, funded by the Long-Term Plan (LTP)
                              and is expected to occur over 30 years. As part of the
                              LTP, Auckland Council has already committed funding
                              over the next 10 years to support the development of
                              infrastructure assets, parks, public spaces as well as
                              commercial seed capital

                                 • Auckland’s residential property market is at the start of what
                                   may be a prolonged swing. Median prices increased by 14.3%
                                   in Auckland in February 2013, compared to a year earlier, and

                                   increasing, are running at less than half the annual average

                                   which is tending to push prices up. For example, local real
                                   estate agents Barfoot & Thompson sold 144 homes for over
                                   $1m in January and February 2013 compared to 81 in the
                                   corresponding months in 2012

                                   apartments reflect a range of approximately $8,000 to
                                   $10,000/sqm. These sales are few in number, which makes
                                   spotting the trend more difficult, but also underlines how
