Mount Eden Prison 2X Allowed Height

Yes, 30 metres high, in an area you or I could go to 15 metres. Visible from motorway.
Two great quotes!

" The prison was passed in the "dearest" Helen Clark years. Council wanted 4 levels but Helen & Goff- who was Corrections Minister at the time- bulldozed it through . The documentation is clear. This communist style monstrosity is a fitting tribute to the Clark years'

And

" Its an eysore, a a monstrosity, a blight on the landscape. So it fits nicely into the architectural plan of Auckland."

When The Big One Comes


Soho Apartments is only one of 3 apartment buildings in Wellington, I am told, that comply with the latest code. The complex is actually 4 16 story towers, each of which can sway 600 mm without damaging each other. Good for a magnitude 8.5 shake...but I trust its not tested!

Soho Wellington is going to be handed over to the 325 new owners tomorrow, Monday 17th March 2010.It looks like I'm going to be at this 325 apartment landmark a lot now. Just been appointed Agent for Conrad, to sell their remaining units. And with the size of the development there will be a ton of things owners want to know & talk about. So here's the spot.

Until I sort this hyperlink you will have to cut and paste this I'm sorry.

Soho Apartments to Settle Soon...all 325 of Them


I was talking to the overall project manager for Holmes Group, the builders, yesterday. When I asked what he will do when Practical Completion is signed off, and the building handed over to Conrad, the developers, he paused, then said...."taking a long holiday" !
It is a mammoth development.
Must be a $100 million complex.
Await being allowed in to view with anticipation.
Practical Completion is hoped for today or tomorrow.
