![]()
Status- nearing completion externally
Museum Apartments, 10 levels
![]()
Status- under construction
Holiday Inn Hotel-Apartment Tower, 14 levels
![]()
Status- approved. I was in Wellington a week or so ago, and walked past the site, there was a large billboard up advertising the project, so all looks set to go.
There is a proposed 12 level mulit-use tower opposite the Duxton Hotel on Jervois Quay corner, subject to a resource consent.
There are 2 new Government Ministry buildings, one under construction for the Ministry for the Environment (10 levels), and one about to be built for the Ministry of Defence, 10 levels also.
Both are in the Thorndon area, adjacent to the CBD/Parliament.
Also, the Wellington City Council has recently taken in development proposals for a sizeable site in the CBD, known as "Chews Lane", which has variying height restrrictions, but can go up to 90m on one part. Nothing has yet been decided, but it will contain a mix of retail. apartments and office.
:cheers:

Lol…. u just bet me to a post just like that... well I think that’s a prime location for a taller building, but its a shame about all these historical buildings being knocked down or modernised in some way. As in 20 years or so there will just be new modern buildings and hardly any old historical ones.*astro* said:The Tower insurance building is up for sale with a value of about 12.5 million.When purchased it may be rufurbished and added to with a height of up to 60m. Hope they do a not so boxy job with this 1

New building for wellington... 
Quote from the Dominion post today….
A Big new office and apartment block is set to tower above Wellington’s Willis St following the demolition of buildings there.
The 27-storey building will be on a site now occupied the buildings at 70-80 Willis St
The building, which will be inside the 95-metre height limit, is being designed by Richard Kay of Peddle Thorp Montgomery.
Clem Griffiths, the owner of the site buildings to be demolished, says the new building “will make the adjacent Majestic Centre look dated”.

It should look quite good too, as Peddle Thorp Montgomery architects have designed several nice modern buildings like Mobil on the park, Parkroyal hotel, The ANZ building and the Trustbank centre in the Wellington CBD… I can’t wait to see a render of it
lol, I almost crashed my car the other day when I was driving past that building... I think I was staring at it too much... its looking quite nice now
was a damn bloody cold weekend in wellington though aye?
yeah the Holiday Inn building is coming along quite nicely

Here is an artist’s drawing of a new proposed 14 level building in Wellington
![]()
The planned building has been said to be about $100 million to build. And would be Wellington’s biggest building with 47,600 square meters of total floor space (even though its only 14 levels high). Each level would have a floor area of 3400 square meters
The building would have the ground floor for shops, 2 floors for parking and 11 office floors.
The developer of this building (Mark Dunajtschik) will apply to the Wellington City Council for resource consent by the end of this year. And as the building will not exceed the areas 50-meter height limit, this buildings application should be dealt with very quickly
If consents were obtained, construction could start in the first quarter of 2006
The site location is on 1 Featherston Street
