ProjectSkyCity Atrium Update

SkyCity is a world class entertainment complex and casino in the heart of Auckland’s CBD. The iconic Sky Tower and SkyCity event facility and hotel draw up to 25,000 visitors daily. The SkyCity atrium serves as entry and access to all facilities.

A complete interior refurbishment created a grand entrance into SkyCity. The upgrade included the build and fitout of a new 250-person capacity restaurant and sports bar on level two of the atrium. The client’s main priority throughout the project was that the major reconfiguration and refurbishment works caused as little disruption as possible to guest and visitors to the hotel.

The project involved removal of three sets of escalators and main staircase and installation of the longest two escalators in New Zealand, building 800sqm of new floor area, structural infill on the casino floor to create an additional 290sqm, structural strengthening to allow the new restaurant build to proceed, significant mechanical and electrical upgrades and a fast-tracked program to meet the scheduled opening of the new restaurant.
