Description
500 Hills Road represents a compelling residential development or landbanking opportunity in a well-established and sought-after suburban location.
The site offers excellent underlying fundamentals, being positioned on a prominent Hills Road with linkages to many surrounding residential subdivisions and key amenities.
The property’s Residential Suburban zoning provides flexibility for a wide range of residential outcomes, including detached dwellings, duplexes, and minor residential units—ideal for developers seeking to capitalise on the strong and sustained demand for new housing in the Mairehau, Shirley, and St Albans catchments.
The generous land area provides ample scope for efficient subdivision and housing layouts while maintaining suburban character and amenity. The surrounding area is underpinned by a solid mix of established housing, education, and retail infrastructure, creating a strong base for both owner-occupier and investor demand.
Strategically positioned only 4 kilometres north of Cathedral Square, the property enjoys excellent connectivity to the Christchurch CBD, The Palms Shopping Centre, QEII Drive, and Innes Road, as well as the wider northern arterial network. This combination of accessibility, amenity, and established residential context makes 500 Hills Road a rare and attractive offering in today’s market.
