DK Eyewitness "Conveniently located in the heart of the business district above the Elliott shopping complex and just a short walk from the Edge Entertainment Centre, SKYCITY complex and Queen Street."
Star Service "Situated midway between the Aotea Performing Arts Centre and the ferry terminals...this downtown landmark resides in a striking 28-story tower balanced atop one of Auckland's shopping malls." Full review
