Huadu International is a subsidiary of the Beijing-based development and construction powerhouse Huadu Group, and has a diverse range of completed and on-going projects in New Zealand. Among its notable completed developments, Huadu International has left an indelible mark on the city of Christchurch. The Manawa Research Centre, strategically located within Christchurch’s health precinct, exemplifies the company’s dedication to creating state-of-the-art spaces for medical and research purposes. Likewise, the transformation of the former Oxford Clinic site into a modern medical services building stands as a testament to Huadu’s ability to breathe new life into existing structures. Huadu’s innovative approach extends to heritage preservation, as evidenced by the restoration of the iconic Lintrathen Gardens. The development, nestled on Glandovey Road, showcases two luxury residential houses and eight upscale townhouses, underscoring Huadu’s ability to seamlessly blend classic charm with contemporary living, says Antony. Central to Huadu’s legacy in Christchurch is the Manawa Building in the Oxford Terrace precinct. Collaborating closely with the Canterbury District Health Board, CPIT, the University of Otago, and the University of Canterbury, Huadu successfully realised a vision for a cutting-edge health research and education facility. Huadu’s achievements also encompass commercial developments as seen in the Huadu International Hub on Oxford Terrace. The striking five-story office complex, characterised by its architectural flair and Matapopore Design influences, adds vibrancy to the landscape while providing prime office spaces overlooking the Avon River and Botanic Gardens. The company’s commitment to sustainability and community enrichment is further demonstrated through projects like the Huadu Innovation Zone Chambers and East Frame Carpark. By implementing structural strengthening, services upgrades, and cosmetic enhancements, Huadu breathed new life into these buildings, enhancing their functionality and aesthetic appeal. As Huadu International continues to shape Christchurch’s skyline, it has introduced an array of exciting on-going projects that promise to redefine urban living. The Huadu Innovation Zone (HIZ) Tower, formerly the IRD Building, stands as a testament to the company’s ambitious vision. With its location overlooking the future Christchurch indoor stadium, this seven-story office complex is poised to become an iconic part of the cityscape. Further exemplifying its commitment to education and innovation, Huadu International is planning the Huadu International Recovery Centre (HIRC). With unique design elements, HIRC aims to be a showpiece for Christchurch architecture. The project combines medical and commercial spaces, creating a hub that fosters collaboration and growth, explains Antony. Also on the horizon is the Huadu New Zealand Education Centre (HNZEC), which will see the revival of the old Law Courts. This multifaceted development will house educational facilities, apartments, and office spaces, reflecting Huadu’s commitment to adaptive reuse and holistic community development. T T Karen Phelps
