A $452 million 21-storey high-rise building has been unveiled and is to be built above one of Auckland's new railway stations.
Auckland Council has signed over a $40 million, 125-year lease to a Malaysian developer which will see construction take place over the City Rail Link's underground Aotea Station set to open in 2024.
The plans include commercial and retail space, 60 apartments and a public plaza. The developer, Malaysian Resources Corporation Berhad (MRCB), will begin construction of the nearly half-billion dollar building after the completion of the station in 2024, and is expected to take about three years.
What do you think about the design?

However all is not lost, even though Franklin was sad not to be able to celebrate International Women’s Day on March 6th, we are rescheduling the event and connecting it with another milestone in the history of NZ and women’s success. Suffrage Day is Sept 19 and our celebration will be combined with this day but we will celebrate it on Saturday Sept 18th at the Pukekohe Cosmopolitan Club, SO PLEASE SAVE the DATE.
The programme will remain much the same as it was going to be on March 6th . There was so much enthusiasm at the rehearsal the week before the IWD celebration and I know we will have that in buckets full in Sept.
The tickets purchased for IWD will be honoured for September 18th. However if a refund is required please make the request to bpwfranklin.tickets@gmail.com and please provide the bank account number so direct credits can be made. All the people working on this are volunteers so please be patient as there may be some delay in getting the refunds sorted.
We look forward to your continued enthusiasm and support for this event.
Remember to SAVE THE DATE Sept 18th
