The remains of the foundation were to be left standing as a condition of the consent and archaeological approval to demolish buildings formerly on the High St site.
Although the original plan was to leave a few layers of brick atop the section of bluestone foundation, part of the foundation was damaged in the September 2009 demolition.
The remains are in the car park. They have apparently not been touched since 2009.
Norman Oakley, from Oakley Grey Architects, the company that did the design work for the car park, said the company had on several occasions confirmed with the Scenic Circle Group prices for repairing the stonework.
A contractor was seen measuring the wall this week and he confirmed he had asked other contractors to provide a price for the paving work around the wall, so he could provide a total quote for the work needed to prepare and preserve the foundation.
He said he had requested to do the work, and had not had further instructions to that effect from the owner.
"We have asked the contractor to confirm a price, and will send the full picture to the owners and hopefully they'll do something".
The foundation was the subject of a scathing December 2009 letter Scenic Hotel Group executive chairman Earl Hagaman wrote, accusing the Historic Places Trust of using its legal powers indiscriminately, improperly and unfairly.
Mr Hagaman said the trust determined "under the edict of their kangaroo court method", the building foundation of bluestone should be preserved, and at the company's expense.
Retaining the wall would increase costs and cause the loss of "a large number" of parking spaces, and cost the company several days' work, he wrote.
"In the meantime, the parking area cannot be paved and costs run on and the project will be delayed indefinitely."
Historic Places Trust Otago area manager Owen Graham responded by saying the company had breached the agreed archaeological authority conditions by damaging the historic foundation.
At a meeting in December 2009, the company undertook to do what it could to provide ongoing protection and stabilisation for the wall and to get independent advice on how to preserve it, Mr Graham said.
Neither Scenic Circle's property manager nor Mr Graham returned calls about the foundation this week.
