AECOM House represents a new vision of the contemporary workplace. Standing at the eastern gateway to Auckland’s CBD, AECOM House is a compelling proposition. This exceptional, commercial building offers 8 large, highly efficient floorplates and has been awarded a 5 green star design rating. New buildings of this quality in such a landmark setting are extremely rare. The owner conceptualised a premium commercial building at the eastern edge of Auckland’s vibrant and sophisticated Britomart precinct. It features striking architecture and large, contiguous floorplates in a commanding position. AECOM House has already become a sought-after proposition with global consultants AECOM leasing over 5000m2 in the building. Two international IT companies have leased three floors, leaving only one whole floor still available. It is located on the corner of Beach Road and Māhuhu Crescent and approximately 33,000 vehicles pass it daily*.
The area is historically significant — Māhuhu-ki-te-rangi is the main ancestral canoe of Ngāti Whātua**. This nautical
heritage is celebrated in the architectural style of AECOM House with its use of green glass representing the sea and granite inspired by Auckland’s volcanic cones. Now you can realise your company’s vision for the future by moving to AECOM House.
The move to this building has been hugely positive for our staff, clients and business. We chose 8 Mahuhu Crescent because of its central location, easy access to public transport and close proximity to a wide range of amenities. We appreciate the building’s 5 green star rating which we know will bring environmental, energy and productivity benefits. I have no doubt 8 Mahuhu Crescent will be a great place to work and do business.

Intelligent Green Design
Architects Woodhams Meikle Zhan have created a highly distinctive statement with integrity. AECOM House has been awarded a 5 green star design rating.
Sustainability and efficiency are central to the owner’s vision and AECOM House sets new standards in these areas for future CBD developments.
The 5 green star design rating represents real benefits to all AECOM House tenants. It means significantly lower, on-going operational costs and a healthier, more comfortable working environment.
The contemporary styling is both practical and visually satisfying. The distinctive fins on the outside of the building play a role in improving energy efficiency. The high performance glass panels change character with the subtle interplay of sunlight to create shimmering effects. They also bring comfort and climate control efficiencies through improved reflectivity and solar absorption.
Provision of showers, lockers and bike storage is a practical example of this.

AECOM House
Contemporary working practices are changing rapidly. Every company has different needs — break-out spaces, open-plan versus private offices, meeting rooms that can grow or shrink as required, memorable client entertaining areas, on-site espresso — it’s all part of the modern working mix and this building has been designed accordingly. Such a high degree of flexibility can only be achieved, cost-effectively, with well designed contiguous floor-plates with a low number of unobtrusive columns and carefully thought-out service solutions.
AECOM House is one of a select few buildings in Auckland offering this degree of flexibility. This visionary approach allows your business to create the perfect environment for today’s requirements with the flexibility to adapt to changing working styles in the future. *Total commercial space in building 11,793m2
