PROJECT BRIEF  | 

Situated in the heart of the Commercial Bay precinct, directly across from Auckland’s bustling ferry terminal, the Deloitte Auckland office boasts stunning views of Tāmaki Makaurau’s iconic harbour.

As New Zealand’s largest full-service Deloitte office, it is home to a team of over 400 professionals dedicated to delivering meaningful results alongside their clients. Inaugurated in early 2024, the Deloitte Centre is a landmark mixed-use development seamlessly integrated with Commercial Bay, a world-class waterfront destination.

The building was gifted the Māori name Te Kaha by Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei - symbolising strength and the idea that unity creates greater resilience. Spanning Levels 12 to 20, the Deloitte Centre features 14,000 square meters of premium office space shared by Deloitte and Bell Gully. Level 21 is home to Queens Rooftop & Wineshop, offering breathtaking 270-degree views of the Waitematā Harbour. Unison worked closely with Custance Associates to curate and select collaborative furniture for the interior, which earned two prestigious accolades: Bronze Winner in the 2024 Best Awards for Workplace Environments (1000m²+) and Bronze Winner in the Spatial Colour Award category.

This space embodies the Story of Navigation, reflecting a journey that blends rich historical roots with a forward-looking perspective. From its past as a national gateway and vibrant hub for trade and meetings to its present role as a collaborative space for navigating the future, the Deloitte Centre stands as a testament to innovation and connection across industries, clients, and communities.
