MIXED-USE

The Base

An exciting feature on the Hamilton landscape, The Base is the Waikato’s leading specialty and large format retail destination, and the country's largest shopping centre outside of Auckland. The property offers enormous mixed-use potential and the ability to be developed over time, in conjunction with our joint venture partner, Tainui Group Holdings. 

Vision

A fast-growing regional hub

The Base features a covered shopping centre (Te Awa) and large format retailing with over 150 stores. Easily accessible via train and bus, and close to the Waikato Expressway, The Base is a favourite destination for Hamiltonians to shop and enjoy. 

Located in Hamilton's fast-growing northern suburbs, The Base is well placed to benefit from the increasing number of people moving into the area. We have a large strategic landholding, offering the scope to create a thriving mixed-use community, with potential for office and residential to be added over time.

Retail

The Base Shopping Centre

The Base sets the standard for retail in the Waikato, with a quality range of shopping and entertainment options, spanning Te Awa indoor centre and an expansive large format retail precinct.

With more than 150 stores, over 3,300 carparks, and easy access by both road and public transport, it's easy to see why The Base has become a magnet for customers from around the region.

Sustainability

Reducing our environmental footprint

We're focussed on finding new ways to make The Base more sustainable. In late 2022 we began working with Waste Management and MyNoke on an innovative programme to reduce the amount of food waste being sent to landfill. Waste is now processed at a regional Wormfarm site where millions of hungry worms reduce the rubbish volume by about 80% to create a valuable natural resource and significantly reduce our environmental footprint.
