The Pacifica is the tallest residential skyscraper of New Zealand, a tower of fifty-seven floors and one hundred and seventy-eight metres completed in 2020, with a design inspired by Maori motifs. The Auckland audio-guided tour stops here to evoke this symbol of the vertical expansion of the town, awarded for its architecture and its ultramodern development.

The tallest residential tower of the country

Continuing in Commerce Street, behind the façade of the white building that is in front of you stands the imposing tower The Pacifica. It is the tallest residential skyscraper of the country: it counts fifty-seven floors and culminates at one hundred and seventy-eight metres. Completed in 2020, it was awarded international real estate prizes for its impressive design, inspired by Maori motifs, and for its ultramodern development. Its slender silhouette, that tapers towards the summit, evokes finesse and elegance, while the decorative elements of its façade pay homage to the Polynesian and Maori cultural heritage of the country, in an approach that seeks to anchor architectural modernity in local identity. The tower shelters luxury apartments, shared living spaces and high-end facilities, witnesses of Auckland's taste for an urban and vertical way of life, in the image of the great world metropolises. The Pacifica is the perfect example of the expansion and the grandeur of the town, that becomes an ever more evolved and populated town, attracting inhabitants and investors. Now durably inscribed in the skyline of Auckland, alongside the Sky Tower, the tower participates in the new face of the town centre, where the skyscrapers rise with the rhythm of the growth. A record skyscraper and a symbol of modernity, The Pacifica is a fine stop of the discovery of Auckland.
