IRD Building - Christchurch

The IRD building in Cashel Street, Christchurch was completed in 2007 prior to the 2010-2011 earthquakes. 

Subsequent to the earthquakes the building suffered some damage, and the Crown bought the building to save it from demolition.  The 8-storey vacant building was subsequently sold to a property developer in 2021, who aims to create mixed use office and retail space.

In 2024 maintenance and repairs to the facade were completed by Thermosash:
