Description
Positioned on the western fringe of Christchurch’s Central City, this substantial 7,340 sqm landholding held across two individual titles offers a rare opportunity to secure a high-profile site within the tightly held and sought-after Kilmarnock Street precinct. With approximately 43 metres of street frontage, the site benefits from excellent visibility and accessibility in one of the city’s most desirable growth corridors. Zoned High-Density Residential (HRZ), the property presents a prime canvas for large-scale development. Its sheer size, scale, and zoning flexibility make it ideally suited for a range of uses including much-needed university student accommodation, townhouses, or a mixed-use residential offering. The site is superbly located within walking distance of world-class amenities, including:
- Westfield Riccarton – Christchurch’s premier retail and lifestyle destination
- Hagley Park – the city’s green heart and a major recreational drawcard
- Christchurch Central City – just minutes away, offering cafes, dining, education, and cultural attractions
- Christchurch Boys’ and Girls’ High Schools – both within zoning catchments, significantly enhancing residential appeal
- University of Canterbury – a short commute, underscoring the site’s suitability for student housing
Opportunities of this calibre offering scale, profile, and zoning advantages in a blue-chip location are seldom brought to market. Developers, land bankers, and institutionally-aligned groups are encouraged to explore the untapped potential of this premier central-western site. This property is for sale by Deadline Private Treaty, closing 4pm Thursday 3 July 2025 (unless sold prior). *Boundary lines are indicative only.
