Turning spaces into<br />
places for people<br />
Ōtākaro Limited is about three-quarters of the way through its work<br />
delivering the Crown-led Anchor Projects for the people of Christchurch<br />
Te Pae Christchurch<br />
Convention Centre<br />
Set to be New Zealand’s only purpose-built convention and<br />
exhibition centre when it opens towards the end of the year. Te<br />
Pae is expected to generate around $600m worth of economic<br />
activity in our region over the next decade.<br />
Metro Sports Facility<br />
With eleven pools and spas, five hydroslides and space for nine<br />
indoor netball courts, it will be the largest sports and recreation<br />
venue of its kind in New Zealand. The first pools are going in now<br />
and construction is expected to be completed around the end of<br />
next year.<br />
East Frame<br />
Made up of the central city’s third<br />
largest public space, Rauora Park, and<br />
Fletcher Living’s One Central residential<br />
development. Around 200 homes have<br />
now been sold and demand continues to<br />
grow from people wanting to be a part of<br />
this burgeoning neighbourhood.<br />
South Frame<br />
A new garden-lined pedestrian and cycle<br />
route across the city away from traffic<br />
on St Asaph St and Tuam St. Filled with<br />
sculptures, murals and stones and plants<br />
of cultural significance, the South Frame<br />
is expected to be complete around the<br />
end of this year.<br />
Te Papa Ōtākaro/Avon<br />
River Precinct<br />
Stretching along the river from the hospital to<br />
Fitzgerald Ave, the largest ever public realm<br />
transformation undertaken in New Zealand<br />
will be complete in April with the opening of<br />
the North Frame pedestrian bridge.<br />
Most projects will be completed by the end of next year. There is plenty to keep an eye on.
