Vero Centre

The Vero Centre is an office tower with 38 floors reaching 170 meters in Auckland's financial district. The structure includes 32 office levels and five public spaces in its podium section, along with parking facilities and a high occupancy rate.

The centre was completed in 2000 and was then the tallest building in New Zealand. It held this distinction until the PwC Tower was finished in 2019.

The building displays contemporary artworks by New Zealand artists throughout its public spaces, including Peter Roche's sculpture Coral. These pieces shape how visitors experience the interior and make the centre a place where architecture and art come together.

The public spaces in the podium area are accessible on foot and easy to navigate. Parking is available, though visitors may experience longer wait times during peak hours.

The exterior features stone and granite tilework that references traditional construction methods used in this area of Auckland. This choice connects the modern tower to local craft traditions.
