Profile Group’s partnership with Foster Construction proved successful when its Hautapu HQ in Cambridge won two Best in Category accolades – the Resene Green Building Award and the CBRE Industrial Property Award. The project also received a merit in the RCP Commercial Office Property Award category.
The judges noted the commitment to deliver on the pledge to sustainability was evident from the design stage through to construction and ongoing operation, Property Council of New Zealand said.
“Our new facility incorporates what we’ve learned over the last 25 years to ensure our business can grow significantly and comfortably,” said Craig Vincent, CEO of Profile Group. “It’s important to us that it’s built in an environmentally friendly way and will be operationally efficient. We’re also creating a truly inviting place for people to work in. Fosters understood our expectations and they delivered.”

Property Council of New Zealand said Waikato receiving four of the awards is a testament to the scope of business and quality of architecture that is coming out of the region.
“These awards showcase what can happen when you marry courageous vision with the can-do attitude of passionate people,” said Leonie Freeman, Property Council chief executive. “The result is not only remarkable buildings but properties, precincts, and cities that have a positive impact on our communities.
