Is The Pacifica a warning for others considering apartment living?

The Front Page - A podcast by NZ Herald

The Pacifica has become a familiar part of Auckland’s skyline.  With 57 floors spread across 178 metres, it is the country’s tallest apartment building.   But in recent weeks, it’s gained a reputation for more sordid details, including concerns over air conditioners, fire sprinklers – and a mysterious vibrating device.   As more apartment buildings sprout up across the country – and many Kiwis look to them as a way of owning their own property – are the concerns around the Pacifica a warning sign to potential buyers?  Today, NZ Herald property editor Anne Gibson takes us into the bowels of this troubled tower.   Follow The Front Page on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.
