Vodafone on The Park comprises two parts, the lower part is a refurbishment of the old central police station which once operated from the site and the upper part is a modernist high-rise building constructed of concrete with exterior façades of blue glass.

The building stands at 90 metres high and has twenty five stories above the ground, making it the fifth tallest building in Wellington and the twenty third tallest building in New Zealand drawing with Bowen House also in Wellington and CityLife Auckland and City Garden in Auckland. The floor size is estimated at 28,000 square metres (300,000 sq ft). The construction was valued at $45 million.

The building is owned by Precinct Properties and will be renamed to Dimension Data Tower in March 2017. The building already houses many of New Zealand's top technology companies such as Microsoft New Zealand, Provoke Solutions, Google NZ, as well as tech start-ups such as SuiteFiles. Midland Park has built up a reputation for being the IT centre of Wellington and is surrounded by many government departments.
