AMP NZ Office has sold naming rights to a prominent refurbished Auckland glass tower to Zurich Insurance.

The block at 21 Queen St will now carry the insurer's name and the company has released a concept image showing the rooftop signage.

The project has been controversial for the company after extensive refurbishment was undertaken without pre-signing leases.

It took some time before tenants showed interest in the eco-friendly block which lacks carparking but is opposite Auckland's Britomart transport terminal.

Last month, AMP said it had leased about 65 per cent of the building.
