Royal is the new owner of Malvern House on Hereford St in central Christchurch. The quake-damaged office building is on the city council’s “Dirty 30” list of sites seen as barriers to the rebuild, and in a location compared by one property owner to a war zone.
Malvern House has sat vacant and deteriorating since the quakes. It has attracted squatters and damage including broken windows, plus the label of the city’s most tagged building.
Its sale could help revitalise the dilapidated strip, where neighbours say their improvement efforts have been thwarted by Malvern House’s condition.

After living in emergency accommodation for nearly a year, Amanda Jackson-Brown will move into a new home next week – and she cannot wait.
The 51-year-old Christchurch woman will be one of the first tenants to move into Brougham Village, a new 90-home community housing project developed by Ōtautahi Community Housing Trust (OCHT).
Jackson-Brown, a former beauty therapist who has suffered from mental health and addiction issues, said moving into the one-bedroom unit would allow her to get her life back on track.
The Brougham St development is the largest ever commissioned by OCHT and replaces 89 social housing units demolished following the 2011 earthquakes.
We are still on the look out for 14 people to join our fab team of volunteers . If you love meeting new people, are community minded and have the time to help than get in contact . For more information email manager.cabchch@gmail.com .

After being closed for nearly a decade due to earthquake damage and the city's uncertain hospitality scene, Viaduct reopened at its new upstairs location on Oxford Tce alongside the Avon River in December.
The original bar was opened by Jonny Botherway in 1997 on Oxford Tce – then known as ‘The Strip' – and served as a popular after-work drinks and weekend space along with adjoining venue di lusso, also owned by Botherway. The area is now known as The Terrace.
Have you been to the new Viaduct yet? Did you ever go to the old one?

The extraordinary chain of events began when Zayne Hinton found the cash floating beside him at Christchurch's Sumner Beach.
The 7-year-old grabbed it and while heading home, his dad, Brad Hinton, suggested they try and sell it online.
They hoped they might be able to double it with a $10 bid, but as the days went by the offers flooded in. Read more here.
