Wellington property developer Eyal Aharoni has bought the former headquarters of Telecom New Zealand in central Wellington.

The purchase of the 14-storey tower on Manners Street for an undisclosed sum from Australian owners Talavera Property Group will add to his company, Primeproperty Group’s, already extensive portfolio.

The post-modernist style, pale green-tiled building was built in 1988 for Telecom and was occupied by New Zealand’s largest telecommunications company in its heyday, followed by Inland Revenue and then global telecommunications equipment company Alcatel Lucent.

It was designed by the late and celebrated architect Ian Athfield.
