Construction of the Wellington New Zealand Temple has risen above ground level as heavy steel framing reaches skyward. After months of excavation and foundation work, the first visible structural elements of the temple are now taking shape, giving a sense of the future form and scale of the building. The transition to vertical construction marks an exciting milestone for the project.

The progress of renovation work on the Manhattan New York Temple remains largely concealed behind extensive scaffolding, safety netting, and sidewalk sheds that surround the building. While little of the exterior work is visible from the street, construction activity is ongoing as the historic structure undergoes a comprehensive renovation and reconfiguration. Upon completion, the building will continue to accommodate both temple and meetinghouse functions, along with the addition of a small visitors’ center designed to welcome guests.

Scaffolding and debris netting surround the Kaohsiung Taiwan Temple as light-colored cladding panels are secured to the exterior surfaces of the building. Window openings remain covered, allowing interior construction to continue uninterrupted. Rising above the center of the structure, the nearly completed steeple has become a prominent and elegant feature of the project, distinguished by its tiered design and ornamental window grilles.

A legal injunction that temporarily halted the government authorization process for the Buenos Aires City Center Argentina Temple has been unanimously overturned. In November 2024, the local government passed a resolution that determined a land use designation of “place of worship” was feasible for the property. An opposition group seeking to preserve the heritage of the historic Church and Monastery of St. Catherine of Siena, located adjacent to the temple site, later filed a petition that resulted in the issuance of the injunction in December 2025. With the injunction overturned, the Church may now proceed with obtaining authorization and building permits from the city government.
