Merge in Takapuna is a mixed-use development / residential skyscraper currently (2008) going through the resource consent process in Takapuna, North Shore City, New Zealand.[1] At about 100 m, it will be the second tallest building in Takapuna, next to the Sentinel tower already built directly adjacent to the future site.[2]

The building is to 'merge' a wide number of uses, including a high-rise residential tower of approximately 30 stories[3] containing around 110 apartments, a lower office section with four very large levels providing 360 degree city and harbour views, which sits atop a multi-level public car park for 750 cars, which the developer will build for North Shore City Council.[3] The ground level of the building is to contain shops and restaurants and in turn sits atop another four levels of basement car park.[1]

The public car park, which is a central element of the Council's plan for the future parking strategy for Takapuna, will cost around NZ$ 30 million, offset partly by the NZ$ 12.5 million that the developer will pay for the site (previously the 'Gasometer') at the corner of Auburn Street and Huron Street [4][3]
