Location
Perfectly positioned in the heart of Auckland’s waterfront, Market Lane sits at the crossroads of where the city has been and where it is going next. Step outside the front door and the story of downtown’s transformation unfolds in every direction.
The proposed Downtown West development is set to completely reshape the former Downtown Carpark site, with two landmark towers rising above three active podiums. These podium levels will host retail, hospitality and public spaces that link together surrounding streets, to provide seamless access between Commercial Bay, Viaduct Harbour and key transport hubs.
As part of this wider programme, the removal of the Lower Hobson Street flyover and the reworking of surrounding streets will ensure safer walking and cycling, stronger connections to the waterfront and a high‑quality public realm will make this part of the city more vibrant both day and night.
Market Lane sits right at the centre of this change.
Vibrant Viaduct.
New Zealand’s best restaurant, bars and hotels 50m from Market Lane.
Viaduct Harbour
On Market Lane’s doorstep is Viaduct Harbour, long established as one of Auckland’s most celebrated hospitality destinations, where charter yachts, premium hotels like Sofitel, Park Hyatt and QT Auckland, and more than 30 bars and restaurants line the water’s edge.
Here, the CBD meets the Waitemata. It is an unrivalled waterfront precinct catering for businesses, visitors and locals alike. It is supported by an active landowner and the Auckland City Council, which will ensure its continued popularity and success.
Viaduct Harbour is a world-class precinct in the heart of the City.
Waitemata Plaza
A short stroll away, Waitematā Plaza provides a calm counterpoint: a people‑first waterfront square with generous seating, native planting, open paved areas and public art.
Sitting between the harbour edge, Viaduct Harbour and Wynyard Quarter, it offers direct access to the water and a relaxed, walkable environment at all times of the day.
Commercial Bay
Commercial Bay is Auckland’s flagship waterfront destination — a vibrant fusion of premium retail, dining, office, and hotel spaces.
Spanning 40,000 sqm, the three-level urban laneway precinct offers over 100 world-class food, fashion, and bar experiences beneath next-generation office towers and a 5-star luxury hotel, home to a working population of around 10,000 people.
Commercial Bay has transformed the city’s waterfront into a dynamic hub for business and leisure — just a three-minute walk from Market Lane.
Tepid Baths est. 1914
Tepid Baths is a landmark inner-city oasis, blending century-old character with a fresh, resort-style feel. With heated pools, spa, sauna, steam and a fully equipped gym, it’s the perfect CBD escape for morning laps, lunchtime workouts or an after‑work wind‑down.
It's right next door to Market Lane.
Transport
Auckland Ferry Terminal
From Market Lane, access to the Waitemata Harbour is easy, with the downtown Ferry Terminal, Auckland’s main departure and arrival point for commuter and leisure services, connecting the city to Devonport, Waiheke Island, Rangitoto, Hobsonville, Half Moon Bay and the Hauraki Gulf Islands.
Britomart Train Station
A few minutes’ walk to the east of Market Lane is the upgraded Britomart Station, the key gateway connecting commuters to Auckland's downtown CBD and the wider Auckland region. It is the central node for Auckland's new suburban rail network and is designed to handle thousands of commuters daily. It is a game-changer for those working, visiting and living in the CBD and will transform Auckland.
