$850m Commercial Bay building site in Downtown Auckland with Scott Pritchard, Precinct Properties Chief Executive.

This new image shows how Commercial Bay, Auckland's biggest new office tower and shopping centre, could look once it is finished.

NZX-listed landlord Precinct Properties released the new view of the 39-level $850 million tower, looking down Albert St towards the waterfront.

The tower, which will be 180m tall, appears at the centre with the heritage DFS Galleria on the right and the AMP tower on the left.

Other images have shown the tower from the waterfront.

The block will be Auckland's first structural steel-framed high-rise office tower, with 39,000sq m or 3.9ha of floor space.

It will have a 1300sq m lobby opening onto a 1400sq m sky terrace.

Demolition of buildings on the site is complete. The PwC building will be finished around the middle of 2019 and Auckland Transport's city Rail Link tunnels will run beneath it.
