Developers, architects and community builders who want to make their mark with a residential development in central Christchurch are being asked to register their interest in the 8149m2 Madras Square site.

Ōtākaro Limited Strategy and Property Opportunities General Manager, Keith Beal says interested parties are encouraged to be innovative in their development plans.

“This is not just about the bottom line for divestment of the site, it is about working together to get construction underway on a development that people want to call home.

If you think you have a plan and the capability to deliver homes that do something a little different in terms of design, construction, communal spaces or affordability, we’d like to hear it.”
