Property specialist Argosy has announced a $64 million world-leading “green” redevelopment of a central Wellington building, to be the new home for Statistics New Zealand.

The government agency’s relatively new building on Wellington’s waterfront partially collapsed during the Kaikoura earthquake in November 2016 and has been demolished. The damaged building’s colour, ironically, was green.

The new 11-level, 11,800 square metre building at 8 -14 Willis Street will form an L shape around its neighbour, the Stewart Dawsons building, also owned by Argosy, which is being earthquake-strengthened at present.
