Cuba St Precinct site visit a sell-out event

LATEST NEWS

The Central Region Committee hosted a sell-out site visit to the Cuba Precinct project on 23 July. Located in the centre of the popular Cuba Street, one of Wellington’s highest footfall zones, the Cuba Precinct is being redeveloped by Willis Bond & Co across three iconic sites. The former Farmers building at 94-102 Cuba Street is being seismically strengthened to 100% NBS and tied into the well-known former homes of Mighty Mighty and The Matterhorn. Highlights of the visit included insight into the retention methods of heritage features, viewing key structural elements, and a behind-the-scenes look into future developments in the area.
