NBS Rating: 67% - Enginnering report avaliable



There’s nowhere quite like Lyttelton.



Tucked into the sought-after strip of London Street, Lyttelton, 34a is a compact 36m² shop with the one thing you cannot manufacture: constant passing trade.



This is a genuine bolt-hole on the port town’s main commercial street — the same stretch that draws locals, harbour visitors and the Saturday Farmers Market crowd. Shoppers, café-goers and market traffic move past the frontage all week, so the tenancy itself does a lot of the marketing.



The hard work is already done. Earthquake strengthening and renovation are complete, and the building carries a 67% NBS rating — Grade B, above the earthquake-prone threshold and generally treated as an acceptable risk for owner-occupiers, lenders and insurers. You are not buying a project. You are buying a shop you can occupy.



At 36 square metres it suits a tight, well-run business: boutique retail, studio, gallery, service operator, or a specialist food offer that does not need a full kitchen fit-out. It is also a rare entry point into Lyttelton’s tightly held commercial strip if you want to own rather than lease, without the capital outlay of a larger premises.



London Street remains Lyttelton’s high street — independent shops, cafés, the Harbour Co-op, Henry Trading and Saturday markets that close the street and fill it with people. Christchurch is about 20–25 minutes through the tunnel. Foot traffic is not theoretical here.



Move-in ready. Strengthening done. Eyes on the shopfront from day one.
