Manson TCLM has almost finished its new Auckland office block at 162 Victoria St West, opposite Telecom Place.

Last September, the site was scrutinised during the Carmen Thomas murder inquiry.

This week, Culum Manson said the building was due for completion in January.

"No tenants are committed yet but announcements are close," he said.

The Property Council has invited members to tour the building on November 29, calling it a new-generation office building in the Victoria Precinct close to Victoria Park, the Viaduct area and the new Wynyard Quarter.

"It offers the latest in building services, including energy-efficient 4 Greenstar rating, ample cycle parks and showers and its own on-site cafe. An atrium void extends from the entry foyer/ground level up through all four upper office levels.

"Suspended walk bridges serve each level from the lifts, providing architectural interest and convenient access to the floors," the council said.

The four-level building has two basement levels.
