151 Cambridge Terrace

Following the devastating 2011 Canterbury Earthquakes, Westwood Limited set out to deliver a highly resilient office building at 151 Cambridge Terrace – one that would prioritise occupant safety, ensure business continuity, and contribute to the fabric of a ​‘new’ Christchurch.

Completed just three years after the earthquakes, 151 Cambridge Terrace was not only one of the first commercial buildings erected in the city’s rebuild but is also one of Christchurch’s safest office buildings and the first in Aotearoa New Zealand to incorporate Triple Pendulum™ base isolation. The IL4-equivalent building is mounted on pendulum bearings that allow it to move up to 500mm in any direction during a severe earthquake. In addition to its world-leading seismic strengthening technology, the building’s prime location, abundant natural light and uninterrupted views have made it highly desirable to blue chip tenants.

Deloitte, the anchor tenant, occupies the top two floors of the seven-storey building, which includes five levels of office space above a ground-floor café, restaurant and bar, and basement car parking.
