Premium floorspace is being made available for lease in a range of Auckland Council buildings and Colliers has been appointed as the master agents to lease the floor area.
Central Auckland properties at 135 Albert Street, 82 Wyndham Street, 167 Victoria Street West, and 20 Viaduct Harbour Avenue all have space available with floorplates varying in size from 941sq m to 2,450sq m. There is also 2,844sq m of available space on Level 5 at 6-8 Munroe Lane in Albany.
The vacant floors will suit a range of potential occupiers and Auckland Council is keen to partner with organisations that want to provide attractive workplaces for their team members.
The space can be configured in a range of different ways across multiple buildings and is available with varying lease terms on offer that can be designed specifically to suit incoming tenants.

There are significant financial benefits for future tenants moving into an existing building given the rising costs of office fit-outs. Leasing existing floors in an established location offers convenience for occupants who may be examining their short and long-term options against the backdrop of a changing economic climate.
The buildings where these floors are available all boast strong seismic credentials and impressive NABERS ratings to complement their exceptional fit-outs.
Colliers Directors Sam Gallaugher, Paul Dyson, and Matt Lamb have been appointed to lease the floorspace for Auckland Council and are taking expressions of interest.
Gallaugher, Director of Office Leasing at Colliers, says these available floors will be highly sought-after among prospective tenants given their location and functionality.
“There is ongoing demand for high-quality office space as businesses strive to provide attractive working environments for their team members and these particular locations should generate strong interest among prospective tenants,” Gallaugher says.
“As we move into a post-pandemic environment, flexible work is commonplace in many organisations and businesses are finding themselves having to offer desirable workplaces to ensure they can recruit and retain top-quality staff members.
“Auckland Council have made it clear they’re keen to optimise their office strategy in a rapidly changing work environment.”
Recent research from Colliers notes that the prime vacancy rate for office accommodation in the Viaduct Harbour precinct is only 2 per cent, while the rate in Victoria Quarter where the building at 167 Victoria Street West is located is only 4.9 per cent.
Dyson, Director of Office Leasing at Colliers, says these properties are in key locations that will provide convenience for future occupants.
“The ongoing development of central Auckland, particularly the upgrades of Albert Street and the surrounding area, coupled with the development of the City Rail Link means these office spaces are perfectly placed to offer convenience and accessibility for staff,” Dyson says.
“They are nestled in areas with myriad amenities in walking distance, which makes them attractive for occupants.”
Lamb, Director of Office Leasing at Colliers, says the opportunity to acquire space in a brand-new building in Albany on Auckland’s North Shore will be highly appealing.
“This is a plug-and-play opportunity for occupiers that will be able to set up in a new 5 Green Star rated building with a top-quality 6 Green Star fit-out that can accommodate nearly 260 workstations,” Lamb says.
“There’s potential to take a full floor of the property or part thereof with a range of leasing options available from short-term to long-term."
