Wynyard Central
Tenco Supports Sustainable Living at Wynyard Central
Wynyard Central is a cutting-edge development in Auckland's waterfront district. A vibrant, environmentally sustainable precinct within walking distance from the CBD, it sets new standards in residential living with its Homestar 7 rating for sustainability and energy efficiency.
The 25,000 sqm development, comprising 113 beautifully designed residences also houses various ground-floor retailers, crafting a community that is both luxurious and conscious of its environmental footprint.
Leading property developer Willis Bond selected Tenco to establish an embedded network at this award-winning site. Tenco's strategic approach led to financial and environmental benefits for the body corporate and residents of Wynyard Central.
The Challenge
Creating a development of Wynyard Central's scale, embracing both luxury and sustainability, required careful planning and execution. The developers were seeking a seamless integration of an embedded network to complement the sustainability initiatives and to generate revenue that would benefit the body corporate.
The Solution
Tenco was entrusted to set up an electrical embedded network as well as private network for water billing. The customised solution included:
Network Connection Agreement Review: Ensuring compliance with local regulations
Embedded Network Setup and Management: Implementing the private electricity distribution network efficiently
Electricity Supply Procurement Services: Driving down the cost of electricity supply for the development
Provisioning of All Retail Electricity Meters: Ensuring timely installation to facilitate a best-in-class experience for incoming residents at the best price point
Regular Reporting and Technical Data: to support network implementation and sustainability initiatives
Rohan McKain, Senior Development Manager at Willis Bond, praised Tenco's role:
"Willis Bond selected Tenco to establish an embedded network at our award-winning Wynyard Central development in Auckland. Willis Bond subsequently transferred ownership of the network to the body corporate who use the additional revenue generated to offset fees and provide annual savings for each owner.”
“It’s a point of difference for us as a developer. Tenco was extremely helpful during the set-up of the embedded network. We are more than happy with the outcome to the extent that we rely on Tenco to implement embedded networks across all our developments where it's a value-add for the body corporate.”
The Outcome
Tenco's embedded network solution not only met the development's unique requirements but also created an additional revenue stream that benefit the residents into the future. The integration of the network was seamless, enhancing Wynyard Central's prestige and appeal.
The Wynyard Central project illustrates Tenco's commitment to delivering innovative and tailored solutions for complex projects. By partnering with Willis Bond, Tenco has further cemented its reputation as a trusted provider of embedded networks, contributing to the broader trend of environmentally sustainable developments in New Zealand.
