Pinehill Commercial Development

The Pinehill Commercial Hub, on Greville Road, a development designed to enhance Auckland’s North Shore with modern retail and commercial spaces that prioritize sustainability and community. The main aspect of this development is the Woolworths supermarket, a 3,650sqm flagship store that offers a contemporary shopping experience for Pinehill, Albany, and the surrounding suburbs.

A key component of the development’s architectural design is the use of UltraBatten, a premium façade solution provided by Vulcan, which plays a key role in softening large building surfaces. The integration of UltraBatten ensures the development harmonizes with its natural surroundings, reducing the visual impact of its large-scale structures and creating a more inviting, less imposing look on the landscape.

Key benefits of UltraBatten include:

• Visual Harmony: Helps break up large, flat surfaces, blending architecture seamlessly into the environment.
• Aesthetic Appeal: Adds texture and depth, providing a modern, sleek appearance to facades.
• Low Maintenance: Compared to timber battens, UltraBatten offers a vastly lower total maintenance cost, avoiding growth and discolouration over time.
• Sustainability: Complements the eco-conscious design of the development, contributing to its overall low-impact ethos.

This thoughtful approach not only improves the visual experience for the local community but also underscores the project’s commitment to sustainability and innovative design.
