Investment Overview

9 Matlock Street presents a compelling opportunity for property investors looking to capitalise on Christchurch’s continued urban regeneration. Situated just 3km from the CBD, this boutique five-unit development sits within the growing suburb of Woolston, an area experiencing renewed interest thanks to ongoing infrastructure upgrades, improved connectivity, and proximity to the transformative Te Kaha Stadium development, set to open in 2026. These factors, combined with Woolston’s blend of heritage character and modern convenience, are helping drive both capital growth and tenant demand.

With a median sales price of $572,000 which is below the Christchurch median sales price of $700,000 makes this a chance to get into the market under the median sales price of Christchurch. The rental appraisal of $520 per week, offers a gross rental yield of up to approximately 5.2%, making it a strong performer compared to national averages. Woolston’s current median rent sits at $513 per week, indicating these homes are aligned with market expectations while providing investors a slight premium for new-build quality and location. The demand for modern, low-maintenance rentals near the city continues to rise, particularly as Christchurch’s population grows and infrastructure continues to improve.

The location is another key strength, offering residents easy access to key arterial routes, public transport, and a host of amenities including cafés, niche retailers, parks, and community hubs. The suburb is also positioned close to the Port Hills, beaches, and the city’s eastern cycleways, appealing to a broad tenant base ranging from young professionals to downsizers. The upcoming Te Kaha Stadium and continued investment into Christchurch’s east frame and surrounding suburbs further add to the area’s long-term growth outlook.

For investors seeking a high-spec, turnkey opportunity with solid returns and long-term upside, 9 Matlock Street represents a smart addition to any portfolio, delivering modern design, strong location fundamentals, and attractive yield in a market with growing momentum.
