NZME Central wins coveted Supreme Award

NZME Central has won the ‘best of the best’ award in the prestigious Property Council New Zealand Rider Levett Bucknall Property Industry Awards 2016.

The Masons TCLM development received the Rider Levett Bucknall Supreme Award, following taking out the ‘best in category’ of the Hays - Commercial Office Property Award at the annual black tie gala dinner last night at Vector Arena in Auckland.

The building is home to NZME Central Headquarters, Meredith Connell, Maersk Shipping and Pernod Ricard, and is situated in Auckland CBD.

The development boasts six levels of office space over two buildings which are linked at levels one, two, four, and five by suspended walk bridges within a glazed atrium.

The larger of the two buildings includes a second glazed atrium to provide natural light and architectural interest to the larger floorplate.

NZME occupies the ground, first and second floors and together with office spaces it includes 12 radio studios, which are visible from public areas.

Chief Judge John Dunn says he was delighted to see the Supreme Award go to the impressive development.

“The NZME building is an outstanding property development.

“Not only did it deliver an exceptional financial result for the developer, but high levels of sustainability were incorporated into the design and exemplary tenant usability and satisfaction have been achieved.

“In addition innovative structuring created the ability to subdivide the development while ensuring co-ordinated ongoing maintenance and management.”

About 1,500 property professionals from around New Zealand attended the Rider Levett Bucknall Property Industry Awards.
