Deloitte Centre awarded 6 Star Green Star Rating

February 20th, 2025

We are proud to announce that the Deloitte Centre at 1 Queen Street, Auckland, has officially achieved a ‘World Leadership’ 6 Star Green Star As Built rating.

This milestone marks Aotearoa New Zealand’s first 6 Star Green Star mixed-use integrated hotel development, setting a new benchmark for sustainability and innovation. From the outset, sustainability has been at the heart of this project—an adaptive reuse approach reduced embodied carbon by 67% compared to a reference case, with residual upfront emissions offset.


Beyond its environmental credentials, the Deloitte Centre is an exemplar of social value in design, with storytelling woven into its external lighting and integrated artworks. As a first-class destination for commercial occupiers and hospitality, the building reflects the strength of many working together—beautifully captured in its Māori name, gifted by Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei which is Te Kaha, symbolising resilience and the collective power of many strands coming together.


This achievement would not have been possible without the dedication and collaboration of WARREN AND MAHONEY, RCP, LT McGuinness Ltd., NDY, Structural Fire Engineering - Holmes, Mott MacDonald, and Pacific Commissioning — a huge thank you to all involved.
