Britomart is a vibrant nine-block precinct at the centre of waterfront Auckland. Lying between the Waitemata Harbour and Auckland's lower CBD, Britomart is a 6.5-ectare waterfront precinct of heritage buildings, new developments, and open and intimate public spaces. Britomart is a place where past and future collide, where renovated dockside warehouses jostle up to sleek new architecture, where gritty brick laneways full of lively bars give way to plant-filled streets and a sunny square lined with world-leading restaurants and chic boutiques. Britomart – home to the headquarters of Westpac, EY, innovative co-working space Generator and a host of other market-leading businesses, and located right above the city’s busiest public transport hub – is the crossroads where Auckland sees the best of itself: clever, creative, rich in history and full of promise.
