The Sentinel (sometimes The Sentinel or Sentinel Tower) is a luxury residential skyscraper in Takapuna, the central business area of the North Shore region of Auckland City, New Zealand.[1] The tower has 30 storeys and is 120m tall.[2] The Sentinel was opened to residents in February 2008.[1]
The building contains 117 apartments.[1]
The building contains a number of motifs, from the square (used extensively in the glass facade proportions and in smaller details), to a woven flax basket (hinted at in the latticework of the facade).[1]
The Sentinel was built by Multiplex Constructions[3] for NZ$60 million[4] 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.[1] 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.[4]
