PwC Centre, Wellington

Base-isolated office building in Wellington

The PwC Centre is a collaboration between Willis Bond, Athfield Architects, and construction partner LT McGuinness. Completed in 2018, this base-isolated office building sits in the heart of the regenerated Kumutoto Precinct, only a five-minute walk from Lambton Quay and Wellington's railway station.

The building's state-of-the-art base-isolated structure provides seismic performance equivalent to that required for hospitals and other essential emergency facilities.

The building comprises four upper levels of Grade A office space with high ceilings and very efficient 2,000sqm floor plates. All floors benefit from the building's extensively glazed facade, which maximises natural light and views of the harbour and city.  

The ground floor incorporates a mix of retail, hospitality, smaller office units, and the main building lobby. A public walkway through the ground floor also provides covered pedestrian access between Waterloo Quay and the waterfront. Basement car parking is included.
