Bringing life to Auckland’s CBD after Covid-19

Manzana inside Canterbury Arcade, 47 High Street, Auckland CBD

Across Auckland, spaces in the city are closing up as the city’s shopfronts empty out.

One positive initiative brought on by the increasingly empty shopfronts is that spaces in the CBD are becoming host sites for creative projects.

Manzana is bringing that life back with a co-working space for women and gender-diverse entrepreneurs.

The space also works as a gallery for artists who often face barriers to getting their work out there.

Dil Khosa, co-founder of Manzana.

Coworking at Manzana means co-learning and knowledge-sharing between artists and entrepreneurs of all backgrounds. We’re all learning from each other, offering the kind of advice that women are frequently left out from in the workplace.

At the moment, Manzana is open weekdays 10am to 5pm.

The membership schemes range from free drop-in visits to long term memberships, to suit the changing nature of working after the pandemic.
