FOREST TOWER
2006
Auckland, New Zealand
Overview
This landmark development was initiated by a Korean company that acquired a prime site in Auckland’s CBD, drawing strong interest from the New Zealand government from its early stages.
Planning Korea led strategic collaboration with top local experts, overseeing the entire development process—from tailored product planning to final marketing—beyond conventional architectural design.
Urban & Architectural Concept
Inspired by New Zealand’s natural landscape, the tower embodies a “Vertical Forest” concept, bringing nature into the heart of the city. Its organic elliptical form and unit-specific Green Zones allow the building to function like a living organism. A pioneering duplex layout offers a unique spatial experience, enabling simultaneous views of Auckland’s vibrant skyline and the surrounding ocean.
Business Vision & Philosophy
The development integrates high-end retail for global luxury brands at the lower levels with premium residences and penthouses above, creating strong synergy between living and business. Combining a prime central location with exceptional natural views, it delivers exclusivity and prestige to global investors and VVIP clients. This project sets a new benchmark for high-end real estate in Auckland.
