Law firm Bell Gully has been confirmed as the anchor tenant for one of the last major commercial development sites on Wellington's waterfront.
An event was held at Site 9 on Customhouse Quay this afternoon to mark construction getting underway for the $40 million development.
The four-level 3,900 square metre premium office building will be base isolated to withstand a one-in-1000-year earthquake.
