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.

Hi Aucklanders,

Have you had your say on Auckland Council's recovery budget for 2021 to 2031?
You have until March 22 to give your feedback on the council's proposed 10-year budget, to highlight what is important to you and how it should be paid for.
Auckland’s recovery budget will increase the council’s total capital investment in the city from $26 billion to $31 billion over the next 10 years.
The investment will deliver infrastructure for transport, housing and water along with helping to stimulate jobs and boost the economy.
It will respond to the impacts of climate change, protect the environment, and provide essential services to Aucklanders.
The budget sets out a continued focus on savings to manage the loss of council income from the financial fallout of COVID-19, with cumulative losses projected to reach around $1 billion by 2024.
Which council services are important to you?
How do you think they should be funded?

Almost to the day, we were celebrating the 25th Anniversary of the New Zealand School of Food and Wine with special wine tastings, cooking classes, forage and gastronomic dinner for over 75 guests + our students. Many of our Christchurch team, including Lois, Philippe and Victoria had come up for the weekend. My mother-in-law, June Hay had also joined us from her retirement home in Christchurch. By Sunday 15 March, I was getting pretty nervous about Covid-19 and rather than have June stay in the North Island for a holiday, she returned home the next day. A few days later June's rest home went into lockdown and I counted the 14 days to see if we too had a NZSFW Covid Cluster. Fortunately not! See below some photos as we recalled the 10th Anniversary of the Christchurch Earthquakes.

Auckland Zoo's only free-range peacock Harold has been euthanised due to ill health.

The 20-year-old peafowl was suffering from a severe infection of the crop, the muscular pouch where he stores food, and took a turn for the worse.
Harold was more than 20 years old.
He came to Auckland Zoo from Isaac Conservation and Wildlife Trust near Christchurch in May 2002.
Auckland Zoo keepers said Harold was a charismatic wanderer, and a brave adventurer who would even visit the rhino, emu and brolga.
He knew his way around the zoo incredibly well, including the short cuts to different areas, they said.
The bird's musical honk and provocative tail shimmy was a sight to behold, with only the female guinea fowl seemingly immune to his charms, Auckland Zoo staff said.
“Harold would mysteriously travel across the Zoo, frequenting every animal keeper kitchen for a smorgasbord of treats”, staff said.
Do you remember seeing Harold during your trips to Auckland Zoo?
What are some of your memories of him?
