A landmark Wellington office tower, designed by the late and renowned architect Ian Athfield and once the headquarters of Telecom New Zealand, has been put up for sale by its Australian owners.

The 14-storey, post-modernist style, pale green-tiled building in Manners Street, downtown Wellington, was built in 1988 for Telecom and was occupied by New Zealand’s largest telecommunications company in its heyday.

In 2016 the building won the Enduring Architecture Award at the annual Wellington Architecture Awards for its contribution to Wellington’s cityscape for more than 25 years.
