In November 2Degrees made a Linkedin post about the groundbreaking for their $10m ground station in Marton.
They shared a snippet of the site, but just with a digger and some dug up soil.
Anyone happen to know the exact location of the site? Curious and want to give a visit at one point.
Apparently it'll be finished by mid year.

" 2Degrees rooftop satellite station in central Auckland angers residents " College Hill
There's an awful lot of "waah-waah-waah" ... But its on the roof of a god damn storage building, I can't really see what they're so concerned about....
"A plan by 2Degrees to install a satellite earth station on a central city rooftop is causing concern among nearby residents, who want assurances about any potential health risks.
The station comprises 30 dome-shaped antennae about 2m tall, which are being installed on the rooftop of a commercial building at 43 College Hill, Freemans Bay, on the edge of the central city.
A satellite earth station is a facility that uses dish antennas to communicate with satellites by sending and receiving radio signals.
The company received non‑notified approval from Auckland Council, prompting one frustrated resident to describe the process as “cloak and dagger”.
Nearby residents are up in arms, and the Freemans Bay Residents Association and St Marys Bay Association are seeking more information.
“No one was aware of this installation until building commenced several weeks ago, and it would appear that insufficient information was provided to the council by the consent holder and the council did not seek independent advice,” one resident, who did not wish to be named, said."
