Wondering what it’s like to live above the clouds? Then look no further than The Pacifica. This residential skyscraper pierces Auckland’s skyline. It stands as New Zealand’s tallest apartment building.
The Pacifica, completed in 2020, is more than just a place to live. It’s a statement. Rising 178.7 metres with 57 floors, this building offers unparalleled views. It overlooks Auckland city and the sparkling harbour.
Imagine waking up each morning to a breathtaking panorama. The Pacifica offers that and more. Its unique design draws inspiration from the rolling waves of Auckland’s beaches. Its facade features a twisted pattern which echoes the Māori Pikorua motif. This adds a touch of local culture to the modern structure.
Originally, the top two floors were planned as a single penthouse. This penthouse was listed for sale at a staggering NZ$40 million. This would have made it the most expensive apartment ever sold in New Zealand. However, the developers later split the space into three separate units.
Living in The Pacifica means experiencing a vertical community. Residents have access to world-class amenities. Level 7 offers exercise and relaxation facilities. Here you can find a lap pool, gym, and yoga studio. On Level 25, you’ll find community and entertainment facilities. There is a cinema, library, and residents lounge on this level.
The Pacifica also offers a 24/7 concierge service and valet car parking. These are firsts of their kind in New Zealand. Other features include fibre-to-home connections, recycling facilities, and electric vehicle chargers.
But it hasn’t all been smooth sailing for The Pacifica. There have been reports of issues. These range from fire sprinkler malfunctions to blocked rubbish chutes. Some residents even experienced sewage coming into their apartments. This was due to blockages in the toilet system. One resident was reported to have used a vibrating device to annoy neighbors.
Despite these challenges, The Pacifica remains a sought-after address. The management team is actively working to address these issues. They strive to maintain the building’s reputation.
The Pacifica has been recognized for its excellence. In June 2021, it won two awards at the International Property Awards. It won “Best Residential High Rise Development New Zealand” and “Best Apartment / Condominium New Zealand”.
The Pacifica reshapes Auckland’s skyline. It redefines luxurious vertical living in the Auckland CBD and New Zealand as a whole. It’s a place where residents can enjoy elegance, community, and a meaningful city lifestyle.
The Pacifica stands as a testament to modern architecture. It is a symbol of Auckland’s ambition. It is more than just a building. It’s a community in the sky.
