They are taking down the construction crane on the Beach Road side of the development today.

I don't know why, but taking this and Waiparau Hall into account it seems U of A seem to like 1960's style council estate type buildings.

^^ The north facade of this building that's starting to emerge as per renders is bizarre.
Rough textured grey concrete panels with vertical window slits gives it a concreted-in look.
That combined with the slabby eastern and western forms it's not appealing at all. Quite prominent from Tamaki Drive.

Second crane may be gone as i've seen a Smith tower crane out at Karaka lying on the ground where Watt & Huges are building the new Hotel next to the blood stock sales yard. It had the old Arrow sign still attached to boom.

This is nearly done. Went past the other day and they were vacuuming the carpet in the foyer.

Are they going to refurbish the hotel next door and incorporate it into the Unilodge?

No, thats a private business (backpackers hostel I believe), that isn't incorporated into this from my understanding.

Getting very close. Backpackers next door ("The Station") looking like a poor man's version of the Spirited Away bath house. Not a great fate for what should be a grand building.
