Hallensteins Building
The Hallensteins Building was a contemporary tower in central Christchurch, located on the High Street end of City Mall. It was sometimes referred to as the Unlimited Northern Tower due to its use as the main Unlimited Paenga Tawhiti campus building. The tower had five floors with a modern exterior, large glass windows, balconies, and a mezzanine floor on the top floor.
The tower was built in 2004 for Hallensteins Glassons to replace their former 1920s premises. Construction was completed in 2005 by Leighs Construction. The bottom two floors were used as retail space for a Hallensteins Brothers store, accessible from Cashel Street. The upper portion of the tower was used by Unlimited Paenga Tawhiti exclusively.
The Hallensteins Building was demolished in June 2012 after being cordoned off in the central city red zone. Details about the condition of the building are not known; in the 2010 Canterbury earthquake, the building had suffered minor damage but promptly reopened.
Hallensteins Brothers had operated from the site for over 100 years before the building was closed in 2011. A new Hallensteins Brothers store was rebuilt on the site in 2016, linked to the ANZ Center.
The Hallensteins Building was constructed for Hallensteins Glassons to replace the former building which had been built in 1920. Hallensteins had operated from the site for over 100 years in various configurations.
The design had a large retail space on Cashel Street for a Hallensteins Brothers store. The building had a total of five floors. The fifth floor was double height, split with a large mezzanine space with stairwell access, functioning as an open sixth floor.
The project was undertaken by Leighs Construction in 2004 and completed in 2005. The company received the 2005 Canterbury Registered Master Builder of the Year award for the project.
Hallenstein Brothers occupied the retail store which spanned over the ground floor and the first floor. The rest of the tower (floors two to five) were exclusively occupied by Unlimited Paenga Tawhiti secondary school, with each floor specially fitted to meet the needs of the school. It could be accessed from an entrance on High Street.
