This project comprises a seven-level car park and retail precinct that connects Wellesley Street with Victoria Street, including an upgraded rooftop slab to allow for future gym activities.

Commercial

Fisher & Paykel Healthcare, Building 4, Daniell Building

A 53,000m² concrete and steel mixed-use building with 5 laboratories, a manufacturing facility, distribution centre, and two model shops, two cafeterias, and a large open-plan office space with seven light wells to house large trees & water features.
