I wonder what that has to do with the nature of the building sites.Free online Property Investment Course from iFindProperty, a residential investment property agency.

are you suggesting
it's not wise to build that big
on reclaimed land and old beaches?
lessons learned from chch
yet to be learned again in wellyworld
.......
you get a glimpse
of how little they know about complex events
from the debacle that will be the pulling down of the supposed new + super-tough
wellington defence building
because of a quake in the south island
...........
they need to get off their asses too and move the te papa warehouse
to ak
or somewhere else not scheduled to be flattened + flooded
in the next 100 years

I like it. It's a nice design and it's good for Auckland - more housing the better.
Agree re. Te Papa insofar as there needs to be a contingency location that houses the overflow. The museum is needed in Wellington - it keeps the older cruise boat holiday makers happy and without it what would Wellington offer them?

And there's probably still a bit more space in the Auckland CBD for at least one more of these tall buildings. If they're juduciously positioned I wouldn't have a problem with them, regardless of proximity to the waterfront.
Also agree with the Te Papa thing. Don't even think about taking it out of Wellington. I recall, when it was being built, 'they' believed the liquefaction thing was well factored in, I daresay though that remains to be proven.

I haven't heard of any damage after the current spate of earthquakes - has there been any to Te Papa?

before we veer too far from the original mention
the point was that te papa needed a better location for their WAREHOUSE
imho somewhere safer than upper hutt
"Te Papa needs more storage space,".
The move to Upper Hutt was a temporary solution for the museum.
"It's a three-year lease with an option to extend for three more years,"
there was a proposal to move some of the collection to south auckland
but the cost of a big move was prohibitive
Te Papa's controversial plans for a South Auckland exhibition and storage space are on hold, after its $40 million budget bid was rejected.
The cost has blown out by a third and the project director has now left the museum.
The Te Papa Manukau project was announced in 2013 by then culture and heritage minister Chris Finlayson.
It proposed a new shared exhibition, education and storage facility in South Auckland's Hayman Park, which would house up to half of Te Papa's treasures.
The project was to be a collaboration with Auckland Art Gallery and Auckland War Memorial Museum, with Te Papa shouldering the building and running costs.

Pacifica seems all go
About 20 to 30 per cent of Pacifica pre-sales had been made to foreigners, he said - mainly Chinese, after the project was marketed in Shanghai.
By August 18 - the most recent sales figures Hengyi will provide - Lloyd said deposits had been paid on more than half the units, worth a combined $200m - even though nothing exists yet.
But will the huge Pacifica project flood the market for apartments?
Pete Evans, Colliers' residential project marketing national director, said next year would see the highest number of Auckland apartments completed in more than a decade - but not enough to meet demand, and only a year's supply.
"In major cities with population growth, we would expect supply to be anywhere between 12 to 24 months.
