All Viewing By Appointment
Christchurch's former Government Building has been meticulously restored and now stands as one of the city's true heritage landmarks. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Christchurch's history in the iconic Old Government Building.
The top-floor, north-facing position makes Suite 42 the jewel in the crown. Featuring two bedrooms and two bathrooms across two levels, the apartment sits proudly at the centre of the top floor, beautifully presented with a style that perfectly fits this city icon. High ceilings, large windows, and mezzanine bedrooms create a unique sense of height, light, and space - a reminder of how special this apartment and building are. Complete with its associated car park, this home combines heritage elegance with modern comfort.
Enjoy the indoor pool, sauna, spa, gym, and a secure car park - all within the building. In the heart of Cathedral Square, you're steps from cafes, bars, shops, or enjoy nearby attractions like the Isaac Theatre Royal, the convention centre, and the soon-to-be complete stadium. The popular OGB Bar downstairs adds to the charm. Designed by renowned Christchurch architect J.C. Maddison and opened in 1913, the Government Building was designed in the style of an Italian High Renaissance Palazzo and housed various Government departments for more than seventy years. Meticulously restored, it is now an iconic part of Christchurch central city.
Suite 42 is a true jewel - central, stylish, and a little indulgent. Get in touch to arrange a viewing or to chat about this incredible opportunity.
