This list ranks buildings in Auckland, New Zealand's largest city, by height. The tallest skyscraper with continuous occupiable floors is the PwC Tower at Commercial Bay, which rises 180.1m (590.9feet). However, the tallest structure is the Sky Tower, an observation tower which rises 328m (1,076feet).
This lists ranks Auckland skyscrapers and high-rise buildings that stand at least 70m (230feet) tall, based on standard height measurement. Stated heights include architectural details, spires and masts. Existing structures are included for ranking purposes based on present height. Towers, such as the Sky Tower are included for comparison, but because they are not skyscrapers they are not included in the rankings.
