The news tonight is that the Hotel Grand Chancellor is listing, and could fall any minute. I'm not so sure it will, but it would be a lot easier than demolishing it in a piecemeal manner. The following is a stock photo from last year.
Hotel Grand Chancellor Christchurch - 2010 |
The hotel, completed in 1986, has 26 levels, and is one of the tallest buildings in the city. Needless to say, it'll be the largest building to come down in New Zealand when it either falls, or is torn down.
The following photo shows the way the building has buckled. It's a lost cause... I just hope it doesn't take too much out with it.
