"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!

^^ I agree, I think Sir Miles warrens option is the obvious way to go. $67mil isn't a ridiculous price tag. Just get to it already!

why would they take away those balconies overlooking vic square? and that feature on the top was cool. :( Atleast the bottom of the building is an improvement
