6 | YYK / SpecX Property T T Karen Phelps New city office block will tell a story “We have some of the best contractors in New Zealand working for us. They engaged very early with us and are all excited to be working on the project.” REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT T T to page 8 Groundworks are in full swing at 107 Cambridge Terrace in Christchurch in preparation for construction of a striking new, six-level office building, due to be completed in mid-2026. Property and construction consultancy Spec X is leading the development on behalf of Singapore-based company YYK. George and Catherine Jong, of YYK, fell in love with Christchurch through many visits to the city over the years. In 1993, they cemented their links by purchasing the Cambridge Terrace site. George has since passed away, but his family is now investing to develop an inspiring new building on the site to create a lasting legacy. Managing end-to-end delivery of this exciting new development is Spec X director Aaron Boddington, who brings almost 30 years’ industry knowledge and experience – in New Zealand and around the world – to the property and construction consultancy. “My goal is to make this project as easy as possible for them,” says Aaron. “We have some of the best contractors in New Zealand working for us. They engaged very early with us and are all excited to be working on the project.” Managing on-site commercial client liaison for Spec X is fellow consultant Andrew Searle, who will also be working with Farrell Construction to run the project. Rounding out the Spec X team is Kelly Wang, who will be managing accounts, budget and expenditure. The site at 107 Cambridge Terrace has an interesting history. The Library Chambers building once stood here, but was demolished after being damaged in the Christchurch earthquakes.
