This high-rise residential apartment building was built on a difficult, narrow, inner-city site where access to surrounding buildings had to be maintained at all times. Many elements were manufactured off site and delivered ready to install, demanding meticulous planning and coordination.
Judges comments
This 28 storey residential apartment complex of 274 apartments in Auckland CBD is on a difficult narrow inner city site with adjoining multi-level buildings requiring access to be maintained at all times. The contract was for a completely finished building with all apartments fitted out ready for occupation. It was completed on time, within budget and to a high quality standard. Delivery of materials had to be meticulously planned due to limited access during working hours and traffic congestion. It is a credit to Scarbro that this project was completed with minimum complaints from neighbours in adjacent buildings.
