Victoria Lane Apartments, Wellington - final apartments now selling

Wellington’s first base-isolated apartment development

Completed in March 2023 and fully sold, Victoria Lane Apartments sets a new standard in apartment seismic safety as Wellington’s first base-isolated apartment development. This means the building offers gold standard seismic resilience similar to key strategic buildings such as Te Papa Tongarewa and Wellington Hospital.

Situated at 161 Victoria Street, the apartments rise above the vibrant Cuba Quarter, delivering excellent natural light and a variety of panoramic views across the city, harbour, Mount Victoria and Kelburn.

The building comprises 123 apartments across levels 4-16, with retail and commercial office tenancies on the ground floor and levels 1-3. An adjoining low-rise car parking building serves both the apartments and commercial tenancies.

The development is a collaboration between Willis Bond, Athfield Architects, and construction partner LT McGuinness and is part of Willis Bond’s wider Cuba Precinct project.

Superb apartment living

The apartments at Victoria Lane offer residents superb central city living, exceptional harbour and city views, and a standard of finish rarely found in this part of the city. The building has also been awarded a Homestar 7 design rating for sustainability and energy efficiency.

The building itself is a striking addition to Wellington’s skyline. The dramatic cantilever over the planned neighbouring commercial building (which is the final planned stage of Willis Bond’s wider Cuba Precinct project) creates a striking, contemporary silhouette and the diagrid framework provides both physical and aesthetic strength.

This powerful exterior design is complemented by the warmth, light and modern textures that define the building’s interior spaces.

Clean lines and intelligent interior and exterior design combine to give Victoria Lane Apartments a timeless contemporary aesthetic.
