Article feedback
I think this needs detail of what was wrong with the building - how was it damaged etc. What was odd about the soil? I've also found some info on the actual demolition.
- Holes drilled in support columns. 60kg of explosives. [1][2]
- stronger because built in an earthquake zone. [3] Secretlondon (talk) 21:39, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
- Isn't this Hedges' company that owns the building, not Hedges himself? He's CEO of Nor West Arch No 4 Ltd [4][5]
- building was stripped before demolition. [6]
- Built 1986. Extra reinforced concrete structure to comply with building codes. [7]

Incorrect redirect?
Christchurch TVNZ Building redirects here but the TVNZ building was a different (also now demolished) building on Gloucester St (while Radio Network House was on Worcester St), and one block further east. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 116.90.134.206 (talk) 13:25, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
- Ah. My bad. Sorry. Will look to write an article about the TVNZ building at some point. Schwede66 23:43, 17 August 2013 (UTC)
