It will be the tallest building built since the earthquakes and be part of a $103m, six-building, 140-residence complex featuring “resort-grade” amenities across a city block.
The project is called Williams on Worcester. It will be bound by Worcester St, Manchester St, Gloucester St, and Huanui Lane.
“This is a full city block, one of the last available in central Christchurch and we’ve designed it as a single connected community rather than six standalone buildings,” Williams Corporation director Blair Chappell told the New Zealand Herald.
The project has a targeted completion date of early 2028.
The build will feature the 10-storey landmark tower, five three-storey apartment buildings, and a private resort-grade amenity stack that includes a heated indoor pool, a covered padel court, a gym and the rooftop terrace.
The site sits a few blocks north of One NZ Stadium and another major development that Williams Corporation is involved with, Richard Peebles’ Downtown.
The properties will range from studios to large two-bedroom penthouses.
