With the departure of Datacom, commercial real estate agency CBRE said on its website 16,000sq m has become available across the podium and tower floors at 68 Jervois Quay.
“Whether you would like to move in with minimum effort or design your dream architectural fit-out,” the advertisement said.
“The size and configuration of the floor plates lend themselves to plenty of leasing options. The landlord would love to work with you to configure an office to suit your needs.”
The space is described as being in a prime waterfront location with harbour views and ample onsite parking.
It’s unclear how much the new lease would cost the council or how much space it would require.
Wellington City Council chief infrastructure officer Siobhan Procter said at that time the full occupancy level at its new space on The Terrace was 979 people.
She said average occupancy had been fluctuating but estimated it was about 50 per cent in late 2022.
“The council is currently developing its workplace strategy with a view to moving to hybrid working. The impact on the council’s space requirements is still being worked through.”
The lease at The Terrace comes up for renewal in September 2026.
