Behind paywall at NZ Herald but have a search or look yourselves. Latest proposal at Quay Park, this is the most exciting prospect in my eyes. Of course cost is a big factor but I like the concept. Multi purpose area, sport, hotels, retail, apartments, immediately adjacent to Spark Arena…..

Not gonna lie on this one. Looks pretty damn impressive if it gets the green light. Iconic if you will.
Unbelievable. I'll be psychologically tormented if this doesn't become a reality.
The block this is slated for is a bit crap - it's sort of purgatory between Britomart and Spark Arena - and the area desperately needs rejuvenation. Developments are slowly creeping up that way, towards Beach Road (including the Takutai Square makeover and the Seascape tower)
Goldman Sachs is a consortium partner, and perhaps most importantly, New Zealand Rugby has apparently put its support behind this consortium. That's some significant pulling power, and hopefully that sharke Eden Park rejuvenation bid (one of four options, alongside this, a sunken stadium and a Wynyard Point complex) never gets anywhere close to acceptance
