An 18-month commercial build project for Holmes Group, the Tomoana Food Hub spanned a 10.47 hectare site in Hastings.
The project involved two stages: The first stage focused on developing four industrial warehouse storage sheds, while the second stage created a cutting-edge commercial office space featuring both open-plan shared spaces, private meeting rooms and leased office spaces.
A standout feature of the Tomoana Food Hub is its communal kitchen and entertaining area. This space boasts high acoustic ceilings, vibrant colours, unique lighting, and a welcoming outdoor patio. The office space, in particular, sets a new benchmark for style and innovation in Hawke’s Bay’s commercial property market thanks to the vision and design expertise of Ensor Consulting and RTA Studio.
Throughout the project, our team faced various challenges, including the high ceilings which required the use of 14 scissor lifts simultaneously and the efficient pouring of 400 cubic meters of reinforced concrete in just three days. Our agility and attention to detail were crucial in overcoming these obstacles.
