Plimmer Towers, Modern office building in Wellington, New Zealand.
Plimmer Towers is a modern office and hotel complex in Wellington's city center featuring multiple floors of commercial and accommodation spaces. The building stands prominently on Boulcott Street as part of the downtown skyline.
The building was completed in 1977 as part of Wellington's major urban modernization during the late twentieth century. Its construction reflected the city's transformation into a contemporary business hub.
The building bears the name of John Plimmer, a prominent figure in Wellington's early business and political landscape.
The building sits on a sloped location, which affects how visitors experience different entries and floor levels. Accessibility may vary depending on which entrance you use to enter the complex.
The sloped terrain creates an optical illusion where the building appears taller from one side of the street than the other. From Lambton Quay the structure looks considerably higher than when viewed from the opposite direction.
