and vintage classic vehicles this new
dealership takes automotive retail to a
whole new level.

a second floor that features a boardroom,
meeting room, reception and
multiple office spaces.
The second floor is incorporated into
the structure in what architects call “a
building within a building” with exposed
concrete and steel used in collaboration
with floor to ceiling glass sections.
Since 1928 Ebbett has been a household
automotive name in the Waikato
and the group now represents 20 brands
across 17 dealerships throughout the
North Island. For Ebbett Hamilton,
leaving the city centre was not an easy
decision as this is where they’ve served
customers for the past 93 years.
However, the automotive base in Te
Rapa presented so many benefits to the
team and the service they can provide, it
could not be passed on.
The Anglesea St site which has served
us so well will be replaced by the
exciting Union Square development, a
marque office and retail site strategically
located at the south-end of the city’s
CBD. This unique lifestyle space will
deliver a world-class commerce environment
in the heart of the Waikato.
Construction of the Union Square development
is well under way with framing
steel for the first of five buildings already
erected and whilst we are sorry to finally
be leaving our home of so many years
we are very excited about the opportunity
Union Square offers the city of
Hamilton as its replacement.
