Reaction to planned $452m Auckland mega-scheme: Māori pa sites reflected in roof design 9 Mar, 2021 04:40 AM 4 minutes to read Terraced roofing reflecting Māori pa sites, a cut-through laneway beside the Bledisloe Building and stepped design to avoid shading Aotea Square - these are some of the design features of the planned new $452 million Aotea Central. Property chiefs welcomed the 21-level office/apartment/retail project to rise above the new City Rail Link Aotea train station. The architects explained more about the designs too. Scott Pritchard, Property Council of NZ chairman, said: "It's great for the city and we really support Auckland Council freeing up sites like this for world-class developments that provide a stimulus for the city and housing so this will hopefully be a great addition to the city."
