Plans for a new 52-storey skyscraper in Auckland's CBD have been revealed today.

The skyscraper will cost $350 million and rise 209 metres above Auckland, plans from Auckland Council show.

The building will sit on the site left empty by the Royal International Hotel, on the corners of Elliot Street, Albert Street and Victoria Street, which was demolished in the 1980s.

Currently the site is occupied by a car park and bungy jump.

It will be home to a 308 room hotel and entertainment complex, a shopping centre, restaurants, a cinema, sky decks and residential apartments.

Mayor Len Brown said the building will create hundreds of new jobs and boost Auckland's GDP.

"Alongside the Sky Tower, this will be an world class development for Auckland that will create hundreds of new jobs, energise the CBD and boost Auckland's GDP, through a more than $350 million investment by NDG (New Development Group)," he said.

Auckland Council designer Ludo Campbell-Reid said the mixed-use building will breathe new life into Auckland's mid-city and will work well with the planned Victoria Street Linear Park development outlined in the 2012 City Centre Masterplan.

"The Council's vision for the city centre and the plan for the City Rail Link has revived interest in high-quality development that is creating a vibrant new heart for the city region," he said.

"We are seeing disused sites becoming viable again and design that references a revived city centre where people are considered first and foremost. This is an exciting time for Auckland."

Resource consent has been granted for the building, while building consent is still pending.

The building consent target is 2015 and the building is expected to be completed by 2020.

Auckland's Sky Tower will still be the tallest structure in the city, at 328 metres high.

More migrants increase our incomes: NZIER

Enticing more migrants into the country could dramatically increase the income of New Zealand, new research has found.

Attracting an additional 40,000 people a year for 10 years would increase GDP per capita by $410 a year, the findings from the New Zealand Institute of Economic Research show.

"New Zealand's point-based immigration framework gets the mix of migrants required about right. But we need to do more to keep lifting the number of migrants that come," Dr Kirdan Lees, senior economist at NZIER said.

the locals don't want to put a further squeeze on the already crammed space - it's those Asian investors who would not take no for an answer and insisted on scrubbing the bottom of a cesspool. Sad.
