90 | BUILDING Christchurch: Mike Greer Commercial: Armagh Street Development Kim Newth Quality living options in the central city Mike Greer Developments is making a valuable contribution to the ongoing growth and evolution of Christchurch with a number of exciting new townhouse developments in the heart of the city. Demand for homes in the city centre has been steadily growing over the past decade, with many people now being drawn by the vibrant lifestyle that includes convenient access to a wide array of cafes, restaurants, markets and world class civic amenities such as Tūranga (Christchurch Central Library), Te Pae Christchurch Convention Centre and the restored Christchurch Town Hall. Among those putting down roots in central Christchurch are couples who have moved south from Auckland and Wellington. Anecdotally, one of the big drawcards is that homes in Christchurch’s thriving centre are more affordable than comparable homes in the big North Island cities. Earlier this year, Statistics New Zealand estimated that the population inside the city’s four avenues had reached 8080. While higher than before the earthquakes, it still leaves plenty of scope for further growth in coming years. Mike Greer Developments has recently highlighted progress being made in the city’s hospitality sector and notes the wide range of restaurants and related premises now available in the central city. Growth in inner city living is, in turn, bringing more businesses back to the centre, building on momentum that has been developing for some time. to page 92 62 Williams Street, Kaiapoi 7630 | P: 03 383 4384 | W: www.misco.co.nz From kitchen design to installation, Misco Joinery offer the complete package including a free quote to help you create your dream kitchen.
