Digital Island on the move to “greener” fields at ‘8 Nugent’
Auckland, New Zealand – 23 September 2009 – Leading business to business telecommunications company Digital Island is
moving to new premises at the end of this year. “The move is due to our successful growth over the past five years,”
General Manager Blair Stewart said.
“8 Nugent quickly became the clear favourite in Digital Island’s search for a modern, city fringe, and preferably
Greenstar-rated, commercial property. It is easily accessible for our customers and staff.”
“8 Nugent’s designers have clearly put a significant amount of thought into creating a pleasant and motivating work
environment for staff. The campus concept with offices, residential, retail and food/drink combined in one site was seen
as a real positive in our decision process. And key transport matters are taken care of with everything from bicycle
racks through to easy access to bus and train networks transportation. This is of great benefit for our ever-growing
staff.”
“In addition, the surrounding area caters to numerous, successful ICT (Information and Communication Technology)
businesses, which fits well with Digital Island being New Zealand’s fastest growing technology company*.”
“Neil Properties Limited is extremely pleased to welcome Digital Island to the 8 Nugent development. Neil Properties
Limited has a high regard for Digital Island as a young fast growing leading edge company. Neil Properties Limited sees
Digital Island as the first of many IT orientated businesses at 8 Nugent,” Neil Properties Limited’s Senior Development
Manager Keith Maddison said.
“Neil Properties would also like to pay acknowledgment to Lorne Somerville and Campbell Pritchard of CB Richard Ellis
Ltd who facilitated the lease deal in an extremely efficient and professional manner.”
