The Tāmaki Regeneration Programme (TRC) will see around 2,500 state houses redeveloped over the course of 25 years into at least 10,000 new state, affordable and market houses. At its heart, this regeneration programme seeks to use the physical redevelopment of a community as a tool to transform the lives of the people living here, now and for generations to come.

As part of the wider programme, TRC wishes to catalyse the revitalisation of the Glen Innes Town Centre. This revitalisation will be catalysed through the redevelopment of a small number of exemplar retail outlets which will hopefully lead to a wider revitalisation of the town centre. To provide focus to this activity, three themes will be built on, namely, to create.
• A hub for makers and creatives
• A focus on the repurposing economy
• An everyday market environment

TRC has partnered with Spaceworks as the design and project management lead for this project. Spaceworks have developed the layout plans, which form part of the RFP package. Subject to detailed design and budget constraints, it is envisaged that these plans will be implemented.

TRC and Spaceworks are now seeking the early involvement of a construction partner. It is intended that the successful construction partner will have active input into the detailed design to ensure value for money whilst still achieving the vision for the project. The construction partner will form part of the team that collaborates with Spaceworks and TRC to achieve the goals of the project.
