Earlier this month, we celebrated the opening of the Bell Gully Building on Wellington’s waterfront (previously known as Site 9).
Officially opened by MP for Wellington, Grant Robertson, the Willis Bond project – designed by Athfield Architects – is the new home of major New Zealand law firm and TwentyTwo client Bell Gully, with the firm occupying the third and fourth floors.
“We first started working with Bell Gully in late 2016 helping identify premises options in a tight Wellington market as the firm sought a new home for the future generation of Bell Gully” says TwentyTwo Director David Lambie.
“After much consideration, Willis Bond’s Site 9 was preferred as a truly unique, waterfront offering that enhanced Bell Gully’s brand and workplace aspirations. We then supported Bell Gully Property Partner David Chisnall with the commercial negotiations that concluded in early 2018” he says.
“The Bell Gully Building is a fabulous waterfront building delivering a unique and modern workplace for the Belly Gully team. We are extremely proud to have been involved in the first stages of this journey and to have worked successfully again with Bell Gully and Willis Bond” concludes David.
“Delivering a brand new, fully leased building post-pandemic is testament to the strong demand for the right workspace in the right place,” says David McGuinness, Willis Bond’s Managing Director for Development.
