Ironbank is a 4500m², six-level mixed-used (retail and office) development on Karangahape Road, Auckland. The building also provides a mechanical, automated car stacker for 96 cars, which the robotic system racks in a four-level storage wall. 

In 2009, it received three architecture awards, in the "commercial", "sustainable" and "urban design" categories of the NZIA Auckland awards. It then captured second place at the World Architecture Festival, a European award, making it the best-scoring New Zealand entrant ever at the festival, and being praised for "Its sophisticated attitude to the messy urbanity of south-central Auckland".

It was also mentioned in a The New Zealand Herald series where prominent Aucklanders nominated outstanding Auckland buildings constructed since 2000. Urban designer Ludo Campbell-Reid specifically noted that the building was greater than the sum of its parts, that it would help re-invigorate Karangahape Road and its backstreets, and that, unlike most buildings, it looked better from the back than from the front side

Chester Consultants' involvement was in the discipline of fire - preparing the fire engineering report and specific design.
