Merge in Takapuna
Merge in Takapuna is a proposed mixed-use development / residential skyscraper proposed for Takapuna, Auckland, New Zealand.[1] At about 100 metres, it would become the second tallest building in Takapuna, next to the Sentinel tower already built directly adjacent to the future site.[2] Information The building is to 'merge' a wide number of uses, including a high-rise residential tower of approximately 30 stories[3] containing around 110 apartments, a lower office section with four very large levels providing 360 degree city and harbour views, which sits atop a multi-level public car park for 750 cars, which the developer planned to build for the North Shore City Council.[3] The ground level of the building planned to contain shops, restaurants and four levels of basement car park.[1] The public car park, a central element of the council's plan for the future parking strategy for Takapuna, planned to cost around NZ$30 million, offset partly by the NZ$12.5 million that the developer would have paid for the site (previously the 'Gasometer') at the corner of Auburn Street and Huron Street [3][4] The whole development was estimated to cost approximately $200 million.[5] After being stalled for some years by the Global Financial Crisis, the project proceeded to recourse consent stage in mid-2010.[6] In late 2010, consent was granted. The developers expressed hope that construction could start in 2011, though skeptics consider the current financial/development market as unfavorable.[5] References
