Deloitte Centre, Office skyscraper in Commercial Bay, New Zealand
80 Queen Street, formerly the Deloitte Centre, is a 100-metre office tower with 18 office floors, four basement car parks and three plant levels. A two-storey architectural feature crowns the top, and the rear incorporates facades of the Jean Batten Building.
The building replaced a Bank of New Zealand office block from 1978, standing on the site of the historic Victoria Arcade dating to 1885. It represents one of several transformations that have reshaped Auckland's city center over the decades.
This tower occupies a site that was once part of the natural waterfront, reflecting how the city reshaped its shoreline over generations. Today it stands as part of Auckland's shift from a harbor city to a modern financial district.
Four basement parking levels with around 170 spaces are accessible from Fort Street, making it easy to reach by car. The ground floor contains retail units that serve as a natural entrance point to the building.
The building earned a 5-star environmental rating in the Green Star category when it was completed in 2009. This recognition shows that sustainable design was already a priority in Auckland's growing downtown area at that time.
