NDG Auckland Centre
New Zealand
The 1019th tallest building in the world
The NDG Auckland Centre is a proposed tower block consisting of a Ritz-Carlton hotel skyscraper in Auckland, New Zealand. If the tower is built, it would become the second-tallest freestanding structure in New Zealand at 209 metres (686 ft) (after the Sky Tower), and the tallest building. The project was first announced by the Dae Ju Group as the 'Elliott Tower', with planning permission granted in 2007, but general economic trends halted further progress as of April 2009, and in mid-2012 the site was sold to Chinese hotel developer, Furu Ding. Furu Ding announced in early 2014 that the development would proceed as the NDG Auckland Centre, but as of 2022 there is no start date set for construction.
