Since returning to New Zealand Michael has successfully project managed the 4000sqm Building 1 at Central Park including a Commercial New Build and partial fitout for Youi Insurance, DHL at the Landing, a 12,000sqm warehouse and 400sqm Office Development, and a 5-storey car parking building at Central Park.
