ANZ Centre, Office skyscraper in Auckland CBD, New Zealand
The ANZ Centre is a 153 m office skyscraper at 23-29 Albert Street in Auckland, designed by the firm Hassell and built between 1989 and 1991. It has 35 floors: 32 levels of office space above 5 floors of car parking, with a total floor area of 31,929 m2. A spire tops the roof, which is why height figures range from 143 m to 153 m.
The building was started in 1989 and completed in 1991, initially standing as the country's tallest structure. Eight years later it lost that status when another tall building surpassed it in height.
The building shapes how Auckland's business district looks and reflects the modern commercial style of the early 1990s. You can see how the area developed during that period and what kind of design was favored for major corporate offices.
The building is located on Albert Street and is easy to reach from the street level. Multiple elevators inside make it straightforward to access different floors without difficulty.
The building's official height of 153 m (502 ft) comes from Precinct Properties, which owned it from 1997 to 2021; the 143 m (469 ft) figure used by some databases is the roof height without the spire. Google Earth measures 151 m (495 ft).
