First Principles Architects & Interiors
Mid 2025
Designed by renowned First Principles Architects & Interiors, this 5,500m² development exemplifies a sophisticated blend of aesthetics, functionality, and sustainability, catering to the evolving needs of modern businesses.
Strategically positioned between Harington and Hamilton Streets, with seamless access via The Strand, the Northern Quarter harmonises with its vibrant waterfront surroundings. Every aspect of the design reflects a commitment to thoughtful, user-centric architecture. Expansive glazing floods interiors with natural light, enhancing wellbeing and creating an inviting environment for occupants. Flexible floor plans support a wide variety of configurations, enabling businesses to tailor spaces to their unique requirements.
The Northern Quarter is a pivotal development for the northern end of Tauranga’s CBD, complementing the significant transformation already underway at the northern end of The Strand. Its presence aligns with the city’s broader vision, supported by key public and private sector investments.
First Principles Architects & Interiors are targeting a 5 Green Star rating for the Northern Quarter, showcasing their commitment to environmental performance. Sustainability is central to the project’s ethos, with high-performance materials, energy-efficient systems, and eco-conscious solutions integrated throughout. The building will feature end-of-trip facilities, secure bike spaces, EV charging stations, and extensive landscaping to foster a seamless connection to its surroundings. These features encourage sustainable commuting options and reflect a thoughtful approach to urban design.
A selection of elegant bathroom fittings enhances the bathroom amenities, including ffuuss and Diamond-V hand dryers, as well as Supreme foam soap dispensers. These fittings reflect the project’s commitment to sustainability through low energy use and durable design, ensuring long-term efficiency and hygiene for both tenants and visitors.
