Our Story

2011

Generator opens its first site, Stanbeth House under the helm of Ryan Wilson… opening with just one and a half floors and less than 30 members.

2013

Generator Northern Steamship opens in Britomart, offering two-to-three person businesses a suite of small private office spaces to rent out. Our member base passes the 100-member mark.

2017

A big year! In May, Precinct Properties purchase 50% equity in Generator. Generator wins partnership with ATEED to operate two sites as part of the GridAKL Innovation Precinct in Wynyard Quarter. As a result,12 Madden and Mason Bros open. Plans for a new site in Britomart are underway and a decision is made to close Generator Northern Steamship.

2018

We reach 1200 members across our 3 sites. Generator takes over the top 3 floors of the Westpac / EY building in Britomart, and opens its most premium site, Generator Britomart Place.

2019

In February 2019, Precinct Properties acquires the remaining 50% of Generator. We said goodbye to our CEO and Founder Ryan Wilson and General Manager Francesca Blomfield. We hit the 1500+ member mark and The Assembly Bar + Bistro opens at Generator Britomart Place.

2021

Generator launches its very first site in Wellington, 30 Waring Taylor Street! The new site is 2290m2 across five levels of premium flexible work and event space specifically designed to supercharge smart Wellington businesses.

Generator has been 100% owned by Precinct Properties since 2019. The partnership ensures both companies continue to be at the forefront of the evolving office space market and meet the demand for occupiers looking for flexible solutions. The long term vision is to continue expansion in Auckland and other markets within New Zealand.
