A once-in-a-generation opportunity to secure one of Christchurch’s last prime corner sites in the very heart of the CBD. Positioned directly beside the new Sheraton Christchurch (under redevelopment with a planned opening in 2027) and overlooking Cathedral Square, this site stands at the epicentre of the city’s transformation.
Unmatched Location & Outlook
• Front-row views across Cathedral Square, Christchurch’s cultural and civic heart.
• Protected sight lines via height covenants on adjacent site between the 47 Cathedral Square and the Sheraton redevelopment, ensuring uninterrupted views north west over the Avon and enduring value.
• Premium street frontage and exposure, ideal for landmark branding, hospitality, or commercial use.
Surrounded by Icons
• Neighbouring the Sheraton Christchurch, Te Pae Convention Centre, Tūranga Library, and The Terrace riverfront precinct.
• Surrounded by leading hotels, retail, and dining, one of the most connected and high-profile addresses in the city.
Momentum & Confidence
• The Cathedral restoration now confirmed, reigniting Cathedral Square and unlocking new investment across the CBD.
• Adjacent to Carter Group's proposed new developments earmarked for hotel and mixed-use projects further elevate the area’s commercial appeal.
Flexible, Future-Ready Potential
• Ideal for hotel, residential, mixed-use, or commercial development with strong surrounding demand drivers.
• Combines immediate development opportunity with long-term growth in a resurgent city core.
Secure your place at the centre of Christchurch’s rebirth — a rare and irreplaceable opportunity that will never come again.
