Queens Arcade - Auckland CBD
About Queens Arcade
The new development was constructed for Davis Properties Ltd who continues in ownership to the present day.
During the early years the upper floors of Queens Arcade housed a number of well-known businesses.
Iconic whiteware manufacturer Fisher and Paykel commenced business from offices and showroom in the Arcade in 1934, The United Services Officers Club was also a tenant at that time.
In the early 1960’s high profile Merchant banker Securitibank, later to become notorious for its well-publicised collapse had its head office in the arcade office building a few floors above.
In 1980 Queens Arcade was closed for alteration, reconstruction and refurbishment under the supervision of Swan Railley Paterson Architects. The office levels were removed from the 34 – 40 Queen Street building, which was reduced to its present two levels and the glazed atrium now a feature of the arcade was introduced.
The refurbishment project completed in 1981, the Arcade was officially reopened for business by then Auckland Mayor Colin Kay on 10 December 1981 in the form in which it is recognisable today.
In October-November 2013 the arcade was extensively refurbished, The coffered ceilings in this part of the arcade and the Whangarei Marble columns throughout the ground floor are features of the original Arcade design would have been familiar to shoppers of the 1930’s.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This Arcade is full of amazing memories from my childhood. My love of Classical music stems from this arcade. It's full of amazing shops that will satisfy most people, from a Cafe, Hats, Glasses, Chocolates,Music, even house and kitchen knick knacks. Worth a visit, short stroll from Commercial Bay.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Jewelry shops and women's stuff stores are located here. There is also a very very nice bakery equipment shop here. Coffee makers in traditional styles like the Turkish one are available here, too. Even if it's small, but you gotta need to take some time to walk. Recommended!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It's a sad shell of itself and it's not all on COVID either. About a dozen empty shops now and not surprising when you look at Queen St. The Mayor has truly messed things up and turned the CBD into a dark claustrophobic shell of it's former glory. Hopefully the next mayor brings it back to life and places like Queens Arcade can come back to life again.
