Substantial retailer sought for busy site

Substantial retailer sought for busy site

Date Posted: Oct 19, 2009

A prime retail site is on offer, fronting onto one of Christchurch’s busiest thoroughfares.

 

Up to 960m² of space is available at 81 Clarence St, Riccarton, in a complex that has the added advantage of being alongside Tower Junction Mega Centre.

The vacant space was previously used as offices and retail by famous New Zealand apparel brand Swanndri, which has moved its retail operation to a smaller part of the same building. Prominent retailers Simply Furniture and BBQ Factory also occupy the same site.

The new tenant will be well placed to benefit from the huge traffic volumes that flow through the area.

This site has tremendous street profile. As well as catching the eye of commuters, it is handy to Westfield Riccarton and next door to Tower Junction, where anchor tenant Bunnings has been joined by a host of other successful national retailers.

David Cresswell from Epoch Property, which owns the building, says interest has grown since Swanndri moved to its new premises and his company had begun an upgrade. A new entrance way, suspended ceilings and partitioning of the warehouse space will be completed within the next few weeks in time for a tenant to move in by Christmas. 

The site offers huge opportunity for large format retailers who want to benefit from being on the entrance to Tower Junction and establish their business with high profile retail and warehousing at ground level and office space (90 sq m) upstairs.

 

Other features include: 19 on-site car parks and rear roller door goods access. Metro Glasstech previously occupied the building, which was constructed in 1992.
