It’s not everyday that you finish a building! Catalina Bay Apartments are now complete and ready for residents to move into very soon. Over the weekend we welcomed 200+ people through our first open home to view one of our completed wharf terrace residences. For those who missed it, we have another viewing this Sunday at 11am. A huge congratulations and thanks to the entire team involved in this project. We had over 2200 people inducted on-site over the 28-month build programme so we couldn't possibly name you all.

One Market Lane – Where Wellington's Urban Grid Meets the Historic Waterfront 🌊 One Market Lane stands proudly at a unique triangular island site in the heart of Te Whanganui-a-Tara. Designed by Studio Pacific Architecture in 2015, the high-quality residential building embraces the diverse qualities of its site, blending the best of the city and waterfront. The overall design has been carefully considered, with smooth transitions and framing ensuring that its form is strong but light, contemporary but understated.

Check out this stunning shot captured by one of our Timescapes cameras overlooking 90 Devonport Road in Tauranga earlier this week - currently under construction by LT McGuinness Ltd. and Willis Bond! Due for completion in 2025, 90 Devonport Road will become the largest modern mass timber office building in New Zealand, with the cutting-edge 10,000sqm sustainable building setting new standards for sustainability in development and construction in New Zealand, and will be the new home for Tauranga City Council.

LT McGuinness is proud to be delivering the exciting 90 Devonport Road project, a 6 Star Green Star project, and the largest mass timber office building in New Zealand.
90 Devonport Road has been awarded a 6 Star Green Star rating, setting a new globally relevant benchmark for sustainability and a new standard for design quality. Set to be the largest mass timber office building in New Zealand, 90 Devonport Road brings Tauranga City Council back together under one roof. Using engineered timber in place of traditional concrete and steel, the building’s hybrid structural approach predominantly utilises laminated timber including LVL, CLT and glulam. The building has half the upfront carbon of a traditional steel and concrete office block, and its façade and building services design are expected to deliver a 65 percent reduction in energy consumption against standard practice. Warren and Mahoney project architect, Divya Purushotham, says delivering a large-scale mass timber commercial building with ambitious sustainable outcomes to address climate change was a significant design driver. “The leadership, innovation and benchmarks offered by 90 Devonport Rd come from a collective of people around the table who challenged and encouraged different ways of thinking. We're incredibly proud to be part of the team on this journey." View the NZGBC case study here: https://lnkd.in/gWCJ-GsE Willis Bond Tauranga City Council Beca LT McGuinness Ltd. Dunning Thornton

It's great to welcome LT McGuinness Ltd. to sign the construction contract for the Auckland District Court remediation project that we are delivering for the Ministry of Justice - New Zealand. Built in 1985, the 28,000m² Auckland District Court building comprises a five-level podium structure and a nine-storey tower above. The building houses 28 courtrooms, which represent 10% of all courtrooms in New Zealand and 33% of those in the city. It is a crucial part of the justice system and must remain operational throughout the remediation process, which will fully commence next month #infrastructure
