The Westpac Canterbury Centre (also known as the Westpac Building or Westpac Trust Building) was a landmark tower on the corner of High Street and Cashel Street in the center of Christchurch, New Zealand. Prior to the February 2011 earthquake, it was considered the 9th tallest building in Christchurch, standing at 50 meters tall (14 floors). The building had a distinct look, with rounded concrete columns on each corner, and a pointed triangular roof. From above, it was shaped like an elongated hexagon. == History == The Westpac Canterbury Centre was constructed in 1983 for the Trust Bank (then named Canterbury Savings Bank) at 166 Cashel Street. It was designed by architectural firm Warren and Mahoney, and built by C.S. Luney LTD for $6.4 million (New Zealand dollars). The building originally had a ground floor shopping arcade, which was replaced by a Westpac branch in its later usage. In 2011, the building was owned by property investor Miles Middleton, who owned three other high-rise buildings in the Christchurch city area.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Westpac Canterbury Centre」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
