Christchurch’s newest city block is coming soon.
Downtown is designed to be a mixed-use development bringing a bold vision to life with a vibrant mix of residential, commercial and retail spaces. Spanning 20 architecturally distinctive buildings, this dynamic precinct will revive what used to be Bedford Row and connect the iconic Cashel Mall to the One New Zealand Stadium at Te Kaha.
THE PROJECT
Downtown is poised to become the new hub of urban energy, commerce and community by integrating world-class amenities with pedestrian-friendly laneways, green spaces, residential living and curated retail and office experiences.
“By combining living, working and leisure in a central, connected location, it’s not just about building buildings - we’re building a community”
— Richard Peebles, CEO
