"international and local interests are considering turning Christchurch's badly damaged former Forsyth Barr building into a hotel, as the city gears up for next year's Cricket World Cup.

Colliers International says it has had interest from both overseas and local players in converting the damaged office block into a 200-room, 4.5 to 5-star hotel."

Fingers crossed the Forsyth Barr is about to get a lease of new life!

Do you not like Pacific Tower? I think it's a cool looking building.
Meh. It's pretty cheap looking, I only like it for it's height. I prefer the Forsyth Barr tower, it's better quality

It's amazing how much a good clean can do for a building.

Also, nice to see work progressing next-door on the Isaac building
