UDINZ Summer Site Tour of Montreal Street Apartments

Join us on a Summer Site Tour of Brooksfield’s 305 Montreal Street development—an emerging inner-city residential project that reflects Christchurch’s ongoing urban transformation.

Located on a cleared West End site, this development represents the next phase of intensification in central Christchurch, where former standalone dwellings are being reimagined into higher-density, design-led housing. Delivered by Brooksfield, a developer known for its heritage-inspired architecture and focus on long-term quality, the project brings a refined approach to contemporary apartment living.

Montreal Street Development, on the Corner of Montreal Street and Worcester Boulevard, which includes six architecturally designed apartments above a corner store  with the top storey being occupied by a single penthouse apartment – an elegant blend of lifestyle and practicality. These homes are located in a ‘heritage protection area’ and as such have to be designed to be obviously modern whilst having elements which speak to the character of the area!

The original single storey villa that existed on this site was demolished sometime in 2020-2021.  The new building will cover a large proportion of the 650m2 site, will be built 1m from the street edge and will be 3storeys high.

Positioned just moments from Hagley Park, Riverside Market and the Terrace, 305 Montreal Street offers a compelling example of city-centre living—where walkability, amenity, and lifestyle are key drivers of demand.

This tour guided by Vinny Holloway, co-director of Brooksfield Homes will explore the journey from site acquisition through to design and delivery, offering insights into development feasibility, planning considerations, and the evolving expectations of inner-city buyers.
