Property Description

SALE IS FOR 14 BRAKE STREET AND 20 LESLIE STREET - NOT FOR INDIVIDUAL SALE.

Landbank or Re-develop, the choice is yours. A rare development opportunity in the heart of Upper Riccarton, this substantial 2,552 m² landholding across two freehold titles is being released to the market for the first time in nearly 100 years. Held by the same family for nine decades, the site carries a legacy of four generations and now presents an exceptional once in a lifetime chance to shape its next chapter. The owners have secured their next homes, so these properties are for definite sale.

Positioned on a prominent corner with an impressive 110 metres of street frontage, the property offers outstanding design flexibility. With TC1 land classification and High Density Residential zoning (HRZ), the site supports new buildings up to 14 metres in height-typically four storeys-and up to 60% site coverage when the relevant conditions are met. Early concept work suggests the potential for around 24 terraced homes or an apartment style development, making this a standout option for developers seeking scale in a high demand location.

Two high quality, fully insurable homes remain on the site, providing holding income or immediate accommodation while future plans are explored. Whether your strategy is to develop now or secure a premium landbank for the future, the versatility of this offering is undeniable.

The location is one of Christchurch's most convenient. Directly across the road is the bustling Church Corner precinct, with supermarkets, eateries, specialty stores, and essential services. The University of Canterbury, Bush Inn Centre, Woolworths, and Riccarton Clinic are all within easy walking distance. Excellent public transport links and major arterial routes ensure quick access to Riccarton, the central city, and Christchurch Airport.

This is a rare chance to secure scale, zoning, and location in one compelling package-an opportunity that truly does not come around twice in a lifetime.
