Symphony Centre & Bledisloe House developments

The Symphony Centre is a major city centre development, a $600 million urban regeneration project that will transform Auckland’s vibrant midtown and arts precinct, bringing an entirely new type of development to New Zealand and showing the continuing investment of Auckland Council and the private sector in the city centre.

Malaysian Resources Corporation Berhad (MRCB), with the support of local development management firm RCP,  have agreed with Auckland Council to build the 21 storey mixed-use building on the corner of Wellesley Street and Mayoral Drive in Auckland to capitalise on what will be New Zealand’s busiest public transport station at Te Waihorotiu Station.

With retail, commercial offices and new homes, it will deliver pioneering transit-oriented development (TOD) and the first mixed-use property in New Zealand to be integrated with a public train station.

The same development partner will also oversee the ground floor commercial development and "upcycle" of nearby Bledisloe House. The upgrade of Bledisloe House will deliver premium commercial space above a vibrant and premium dining and hospitality offering.

Having both projects as part of the same development means . they will also oversee the improvement work on an adjacent laneway.
