Sky Tower |
he Sky Tower is an observation and
telecommunications tower located on the
corner of Victoria and Federal Streets
in the Auckland CBD, Auckland City, New
Zealand. It is 328 metres (1,076 ft)
tall, as measured from ground level to
the top of the mast,[1] making it the
tallest free-standing structure in the
Southern Hemisphere, and the 12th
tallest member of the World Federation
of Great Towers.Due to its shape and
height, especially when compared to the
next tallest buildings, it has become an
iconic Auckland structure, often used in
logos and promotions.
The Sky Tower features prominently on the Auckland skyline at night due to its extensive illumination and SkyCity uses this lighting of the tower in a number of ways for supporting various causes using a number of colours or mix of colours to promote these things, a few examples are:
Blue = Auckland Blues Rugby franchise
Pink = Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Red & Green = 'Kidz First' Childrens Hospital/Christmas
Red & Gold = Chinese New Year
Blue & Green = Starship Children's Foundation
Orange = Auckland Festival
Green & Purple = The Auckland Cup
Green = St. Patrick's Day
Red = The America's Cup
Green, Red and White = Rally New Zealand
Gold = New Zealand Olympians at the XXIX Olympiad
