Hey neighbours,

Good news – 2021 is set to be the year of the long weekend.

Five out of 10 public holidays will be Mondayised (or Tuesdayised in one case) next year, which means if you work a standard Monday to Friday week, you can look forward to some extended breaks.

In fact, once you’ve tacked on the weekends, you’ll end up getting a whopping 25 days off out of those 10 stat days, plus your region’s anniversary day.

The well-known former Hornby Clocktower site is for sale.

On the corner of Main South Rd and Brynley St, the property is the site of the former Hornby Clocktower building that marked the southern entrance to Christchurch for more than 50 years.

It was built by accomplished Christchurch architect Don Donnithorne in the 1960s, who was part of a new school of architects who dominated Christchurch's post-war cityscape with clean, modernist designs, and was home to the Central Canterbury Electric Power Board.

Family-owned investment company Epoch bought the property in 2005. They completed a full refurbishment in 2010, just three months before the February 2011 earthquake. The building was demolished in 2014.

Epoch has redeveloped the site into a mixed-use complex, naming it the Clocktower Centre in a nod to the past.

It comprises four main buildings with a total of 11 tenancies including fast food chain Carl’s Jr, Snap Fitness, Australian retailer Godfreys, Oil Changers and a host of other businesses.
