Hubby’s views – The Majestic Centre 1

So the Majestic centre is where I actually work.  It is still the tallest building in Wellington – it just doesn’t look that way when you’re north of town looking towards the CBD.  However this first photo conclusively shows we’re bigger than the BNZ centre;

The building site right next to us is the home of the new Telecom office;

Still I’m sure it’ll look better once it’s finished.

The money views from the Majestic are naturally of the bay;

And over looking the civic square (library & Wellington council offices make up the curved buildings, with the old town hall on the right hand side)

    2. Ha! I work in the Majestic Centre too! Certainly according to google it is Wellington’s tallest building – considering Wellington is built on an fault line that isn’t too great really!!

    3. Is it true that some people working on the top floor get motion sickness?! Someone once told me that the building really sways due to it’s earthquake reinforcements.

    Incredible view from up there!

    4. Majestic is a stable building – so no – you dont get sickness. People did at the BNZ building though :(

    And when we first arrived here – we stayed at the J St Apartments, and ended up in the Penthouse. Ita a very thin tall building. It swayed in the wind, and at the time there a lot of earthquakes.

    We did feel quite Icky :(

    Paola – Yep – its the tallest in Welly. But to be honest – a big earthquake and the height of the buildings really wont make a huge difference – we are all pretty much stuffed!

Tell me what you're thinking...
