An exciting opportunity exists to secure one of Christchurch's most significant inner-city development holdings. Comprising eight adjoining freehold titles with a combined landholding of 3,179m²*, this substantial site occupies a commanding corner position within one of the city's most tightly held and rapidly evolving precincts.
Prominently positioned on the corner of Manchester and Peterborough Streets, directly adjoining Forté Health, the property offers an unrivalled combination of scale, profile and location, an offering seldom available on the CBD fringe. Surrounded by premium residential developments, established medical facilities and the city's commercial core, the site presents an exceptional platform for a landmark project that will define the next chapter of this sought-after neighbourhood.
With Christchurch's luxury residential market continuing to mature, this is an outstanding opportunity to create a high-quality apartment or townhouse development that caters to discerning owner-occupiers, downsizers and investors seeking an unrivalled inner-city lifestyle.
The scale and flexibility of the holding also lend themselves to a range of complementary development outcomes, subject to Christchurch City Council approval.
Potential development outcomes include:
• Premium residential apartments
• Architecturally designed townhouses or terraced homes
• Build-to-rent or multi-residential accommodation
• Healthcare and specialist medical facilities (subject to CCC approval)
• Retirement or assisted living
• Mixed-use development incorporating residential or medical uses
Bordering Forté Health and surrounded by Christchurch's ongoing urban regeneration, the property is exceptionally positioned to capitalise on the continued demand for premium inner-city living and healthcare-related investment. This is a genuine generational landholding offering the scale, prominence and flexibility to deliver a transformational development in one of Christchurch's most coveted growth locations.
