Tākina Wellington Convention & Exhibition Centre

Wellington’s new convention and exhibition centre

Willis Bond is proud to have partnered with the Wellington City Council to deliver Tākina - Wellington’s new convention and exhibition centre, which offers 18,000sqm of versatile space in the heart of the city.

Located opposite Te Papa Tongarewa, it is Aotearoa’s first convention centre to achieve a 5 Green Star NZ certification. As Wellington’s largest civic infrastructure investment in two decades, Tākina stands out for its striking architecture, strong iwi collaboration in its design narrative, and cutting-edge adaptability. Engineered for resilience with base-isolation technology and a structural diagrid, Tākina is built to perform, while sustainability features significantly reduce carbon emissions and energy use by up to 70%.
