New Zealand’s first purpose-built coworking space
Generator 12 Madden Street has been setting the standard in flexible workspaces since 2017. It was built from the ground up in the heart of Auckland’s Innovation Precinct to bring awesome businesses and people together.
Madden Street offers a dynamic environment featuring everything from intimate plant-filled corners to soaring communal areas where innovative companies of all sizes can thrive.
And, of course, it’s all supported by Generator’s full range of always-on, high-quality services.
Making a Move in '25?
We’re redesigning a number of private offices at 12 Madden Street to create the perfect space for smaller teams. Tailored for 4 to 13 workstations, these newly imagined offices will be available from early 2025, offering the ideal blend of style, function, and flexibility.
We'd love to show you around!

How 12 Madden Street supports a small team
“We really value the community here. From the FAT HIIT classes to Friday night drinks, there's always something on and someone to chat with. Food Truck Fridays is another team favourite. As a small team, it's great for us to feel like we’re part of something larger.”
