Worries over Wellington construction flaws and quake risks

From Checkpoint, 6:13 pm on 27 May 2022

Commercial property owners in Wellington are worried they may be stuck with office towers no-one wants to rent or insure.

There are now about 150 buildings in the CBD which share the same construction flaw as the Education Ministry's head office.

The order came this week to evacuate that building after a new seismic assessment.
