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?

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.

Hayz Pincheira and Jess Morris opened The Falls Bistro in Henderson’s Falls Hotel in November last year.
Having purchased the business during lockdown, it has been a bumpy road to opening.
“Henderson adores this place,” Pincheira said.
“As soon as [the community] found out we were coming in and that the doors were going to reopen, we got a whole bunch of positivity coming our way. It was amazing.”
According to Heritage New Zealand, Falls Hotel was listed as a heritage building in October 1997 having been constructed in a Colonial Stripped Georgian style in 1873 by John McLeod.
It was used for accommodation by salesmen and railway workers during the 1920s.
Now owned by Norcross Heritage Trust, it was moved to its current location near Falls Park on Alderman Drive in 1996.
Pincheira and Morris were working during New Zealand’s first level 3 lockdown in Morris’ mobile coffee cart when “crazy” business ideas started being thrown around.
They found out the restaurant inside Falls Hotel was going under and thought it would be an ideal location for a “beautiful restaurant” and place to have high tea.
Finding out the Norcross Heritage Trust owned the building, they put together a proposal, found people to invest and were given the green light to move in.
But by the time Auckland went into its second level 3 lockdown, the pair’s investors all pulled out.
They were back in the mobile coffee cart when a representative of the Trust approached them and said they should ask it to invest.
Once that was approved, the two friends got to work redoing the only part of the building not considered historic - the conservatory.
When they first got keys to the building, “it felt like it hadn’t been nurtured in a while”, Pincheira said.
Morris said: “It just needed love.”
The Falls Bistro is now up and running - with plans to make use of the old bedrooms upstairs for spa treatments in the future.
Other rooms in the building will also be used as a library and a private dining room/meeting area.
Events, such as weddings, can also be held at the venue.
