Abstract

The new Bank of New Zealand building, will, when completed, form a nucleus at the hub of Wellington's downtown commercial centre. Sited on a strategic corner at the junction of two main thoroughfares, the 30- storey building will be a landmark towering
as high again above adjacent new buildings, and three times as high as the older buildings in the locality.
