Kiwi Property has announced that its 3 Te Kehu Way office building at Sylvia Park has achieved a ‘world-leading’ six Green Star Design and As-Built rating, the first time a New Zealand building has been awarded the coveted rating.
The property, 3 Te Kehu Way, opened in March 2023 and was conceived and constructed with sustainability in mind. The building features a range of initiatives designed to enhance its environmental performance, including a large rooftop solar array, electric vehicle charging and rainwater harvesting. More than 92 percent of the waste produced while building 3 Te Kehu Way was diverted from landfill.
Kiwi Property GM Asset Management Linda Trainer said the 3 Te Kehu Way rating reflected the company’s commitment to sustainability.
“We’re incredibly proud to have been awarded the country’s first six Green Star Design and As-Built rating. The recognition highlights our effort to deliver high-quality, environmentally conscious office spaces, like 3 Te Kehu Way, that are in increasing demand by commercial tenants. At Kiwi Property, we're not just building for today but designing for a future where sustainability and resilience take centre stage.”
Kiwi Property Development Manager, Matt Cole, said sustainability is a key consideration in the development programme.
"We’re delighted our efforts to make 3 Te Kehu Way an environmentally high-performing building have been recognised by the New Zealand Green Building Council. We’re looking forward to our tenants, customers and the community enjoying 3 Te Kehu Way for years to come.”
