The interior design of Northern Quarter Stage 1 was shaped with careful consideration to create striking, engaging spaces that elevate the everyday experience. From the main lobbies to the end-of-trip facilities, each area has been crafted to balance visual impact with practical functionality. Every detail supports the daily rhythms of the building’s users, ensuring the interiors feel both purposeful and memorable, and reflect the same modern heritage vibe of the building’s exterior.

FPA is proud to present the newly completed Northern Quarter Stage 1 which takes its rightful place within the heart of Tauranga’s city centre.

Northern Quarter led the evolving Tauranga City development, weaving heritage-inspired character alongside new contemporary projects. Its design blends modern form with crafted detailing to create a distinctive landmark that enriches the city’s fabric. Northern Quarter marks a meaningful step forward for Tauranga’s revitalisation - and a proud milestone for our team.
