This cleared and consolidated 714m² site presents an outstanding opportunity to secure an entry-level, regular shaped parcel of land in the heart of Christchurch’s CBD.
Comprising two adjoining titles with frontage to both Manchester Street and Tramway Lane, the property offers excellent development flexibility and strong underlying fundamentals in one of the city’s most dynamic and fast-evolving precincts.
Zoned Central City (CCZ) under the Christchurch District Plan, the property benefits from highly permissive planning rules that allow for a broad range of end uses. Developers will be drawn to the zone’s generous height allowances and minimal density restrictions, creating the perfect environment for a multi-storey commercial, residential, hospitality, or mixed-use project.
The dual frontage layout enhances design flexibility, enabling both street-level activation and practical rear access.
Situated on Manchester Street, one of the city’s key arterial routes, it enjoys good visibility, and proximity to major landmarks. Just a short walk from The Crossing, Rauora Park, the SALT District, earmarked DownTown being delivered by Peebles Group nearby and the rapidly developing Te Kaha Stadium precinct, this site is perfectly placed to benefit from the strong resurgence of Christchurch’s central city.
No improvements remain on site, leaving a flat, shovel-ready site that will appeal to developers seeking a straightforward path to construction. The growing demand for well-located CBD living, boutique commercial premises, and modern mixed-use space makes this an opportunity that is both timely and strategically compelling.
The site has the added benefit of current holding income which is set to terminate 30 January 2026 unless otherwise agreed.
Whether you’re looking to develop, invest or land bank for future growth, 207 Manchester Street and 8 Tramway Lane offers a rare combination of scale, location, zoning, and long-term upside in the heart of the Christchurch CBD.
