That's the spirit bro.
If I remember correctly that one is 'Mobil on Park' - Mobil being the company (a chain of Service Stations), and Park being the name of the Street. It's near the Beehive.

Covering all new developments/ and projects under construction in the Capital City of Wellington. Will update when needed.
Bolton Apartments, 20 levels.
![]()
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:

There has been a few new buildings spring up since I lived there ,and looks like alot more to come .
God I had some good times in that city ,some that spring to mind .
1] Best mate steven geting bashed over the head with a beer bottle by a big Maori drag Queen !
2]Being interviewed about nightlife in Wellingtons infamous Hole in the Wall nightclub when we weren't able to put three words together , I'm afraid it was put on tele.
3]At the same Club not that I used to go there alot meeting this person who was Prince Edwards bed partner for a while at Wanganui college or wherever he went and it was n't the Female variety either !
4]Untold parties at Goverment House [held by staff ] when the general was away,He would of choked on his Tea and Scones if he new what went on ther when he was away;best memory was pulling up to the secruity gate in my bright red cortina GT that had Mags on it that fat that she would rub like crazy on the Guards on the slightest of corners , but anyway we did her up complete with nz flags on top of front guards , when youre half wasted driving up such a formal property we just lost it -you would have to have been there.
5] best mate again Vomiting while riding a mechanical bucking Horse at a Ansett xmas do -wasn't a pretty site !

Great Photos Atkinson 1.
Can't beat Wellington on a fine Day , Four Media subjects stick in my mind from my time in Wellington .
1] If there was a major earthquake best place to be along Lampton Quay is inside a building as you would be shredded with falling Glass ,the street would end up with a 2 metre high pile of glass !
2] The Museum Hotel being rolled approx 120 metres down the road to its present location .
3]The City council placing rope inbetween parking meters for pedestrians to hang onto during windy storms .
4] Maori Legend predicts a major earthquake in Wellington where the huge claws of a Maori God [or something like that] rise out of the Harbour ,many believe the old railway tracks thrown into the harbour years ago will be those claws .
Sorry its not really an official Wellington project ,but interesting Goss
