Investment Analysis

Opportunities within Christchurch’s four avenues, the heart of the central business district, are not to be overlooked—especially when they come at such competitive price points and from one of New Zealand’s most reputable developers.

Introducing 32 Melrose Street, a boutique development of six colonial style terraced homes in Christchurch’s Central City, with prices ranging from $679,000 - $750,000. Situated moments from the new Te Kaha Stadium, this project positions residents at the epicenter of Christchurch’s evolving urban landscape. Only 2 kilometres from The Terrace and various shopping precincts, this development offers convenience and vibrant city living at an accessible price point.

Christchurch’s Central City is bordered by the four avenues, restricting the availability of land for new residential developments in the Central Business District. This scarcity contrasts with the ample opportunities in suburban areas, creating upward pressure on property values within the CBD. As the city's population continues to grow, the demand for inner-city living is expected to rise, further driving appreciation in property prices.

The city has experienced a resurgence in recent years, with ongoing infrastructure projects poised to transform the CBD into a thriving hub. Key developments include the Te Pae Christchurch Convention Centre, expected to draw international business and tourism, and the Christchurch Metro Sports Facility, which will enhance community and recreational offerings. These projects, along with the expansion of cycleways, public transport enhancements, and streetscape improvements under the Central City Recovery Plan, underscore the city’s long-term potential as an attractive place to live, work, and invest.

Now is the time to secure your place in Christchurch’s future. With prime locations like 32 Melrose Street are becoming increasingly scarce, these homes offer a rare opportunity to invest in the heart of a city on the rise.
