The Pacifica is a residential skyscraper in Auckland, New Zealand. Completed in 2020, it is the tallest residential building in New Zealand, surpassing the Metropolis, but is set to be overtaken in 2024 by the Seascape.[1] The building overlooks Auckland city and the surrounding harbour at 178.7m (586.3feet) and 57 floors in height.[2]

The top two floors of the building contain a penthouse that was originally listed for sale at 40 million, which would have made it the most expensive apartment ever sold in New Zealand.[3] This apartment was later split into three separate units.[4]

In June 2021, The Pacifica won "Best Residential High Rise Development New Zealand" and "Best Apartment / Condominium New Zealand" at the International Property Awards.[5]
