173 St Asaph Street, Christchurch Central / by Nat Voisey

Located in a cavernous 1950's ex printing hall, this prominent structure is positioned at the cross-roads of the new government-led $28m South Frame Green Walkway Precinct. Fully strengthened and extensively refurbished in 2017, it now houses 8 business over 2 levels with exceptional features throughout.

The level 1 offices are a stunning example of creative and stimulating space. High pitched ceilings with mixed materials of brick, exposed wooden trusses, concrete, steel, glass, and high quality finishes make these suites completely unique in Christchurch.

Downstairs, there’s 2 additional office suits of ~250sqm with large north and western windows maximising the natural light. The raw exposed structure provides a strong pallet to match against a softer timber fitout, beautifully finished with original sets of RNZAF doors from their former base at Wigram.

An onsite café plus the popular Ceylon Kitchen Sri Lankan food compliments the developing vicinity of residential and offices whilst the new laneways make moving through the city quick and safe.
