Seascape is a residential skyscraper development in Auckland, New Zealand that is currently on hold. The skyscraper topped out in 2024. It is set to cost NZ$300 million to build.[1]

Design

[edit]

As of November 2022, half of the 221 apartments had been sold.[1]

In August 2024, Seascape’s main contractor, China Construction New Zealand, wrote to 25 sub-contractors to notify them that work on the skyscraper had been suspended and that their services were no longer required. By this stage, the building had already been structurally topped-out, leaving the interiors and facade incomplete. China Construction New Zealand claimed that the halting of site works was the result of a payment default by the project’s developer, the Shanghai-based Shundi Group. It is currently uncertain when and whether construction will resume.[2]
