Sentinel (building)

The Sentinel is a luxury residential skyscraper in Takapuna, the central business area of the North Shore region of Auckland City, New Zealand. The tower has 30 storeys and is 120m tall. The Sentinel was opened to residents in February 2008.
The building contains 117 apartments.
The building contains a number of motifs, from the square, to a woven flax basket.
The Sentinel was built by Multiplex Constructions for NZ$60 million and was given a non-notified consent by North Shore City Council because the idea of having a landmark building in Takapuna was considered favourably when the developer Cornerstone Group first proposed it in 2003. The developer has also stated that the consenting regulations have since become onerous to a degree that he would not build such a building under current rules.
