Ian Cassels - The Wellington Company
The Wellington Company has been re-creating and developing property’s in the nation’s capital for the last 20 years.
Ian Cassels and his partner Caitlin Taylor are passionate about protecting and revitalizing the building heritage of New Zealand, and about doing it with a long-term view.
The company’s driving focus has been on developing Wellington property into aesthetically pleasing and valuable combinations of office, retail, car parking and residential apartments ? offering these spaces for lease, sale or investment.
Continuing on with the theme of ‘driving forward vibrant development’s in the Capital’s repertoire’ is the new ‘Willis Central’ five-green-star rated building, specifically designed for Telecom NZ to house some 1700 employees in 19,000 of the available 26,000 available square metres to be operational from mid- 2011.
Having already revitalized a disused cinema complex in the heart of Wellington’s CBD to be the new home of The Department of Conservation, this award winning property was rated the 9th greenest building in the world.
Ian believes that the business of Wellington is "office" and that the city is a highly productive and effective place for many businesses.
“Through some sensible changes to its rating system, direct air connection(s) to Asia and a concerted effort by Wellington City Council and the business community, Wellington is completely capable of becoming a prosperous and sustainable jewel in this part of the world.”
