Located in the vibrant heart of Courtenay Place, Central Wellington Alpha Residences is an 11-storey building with 45 dwellings. A mixture of 1-bedroom, and 2-bedroom apartments with some configured as a flexible dual key options.

The Courtenay Place Heritage Precinct directly in front has height controls that ensure the stunning harbour and city views are protected. The north facing aspect bathes the apartments in sun and light.

The entry from Cambridge Terrace is through the Heritage listed Cambridge Terrace Post Office with which it shares the same site. Built in 1930, it is described as an excellent representative of a civic building designed in the transitional Classical/Art Deco style. An existing open ground floor service lane will be transformed into a transitional vestibule with the original gates being refurbished to create a stunning front door. This new building adds value to the site, supporting the heritage building’s future and bringing additional life to Wellington’s Courtenay Precinct.
