A truly unique opportunity to secure a retail or hospitality space in the stunning 140-year-old former Post Office situated in the Southwest corner of Cathedral Square. This beautifully restored building offers approximately 800sqm of ground floor space which can be split into various size configurations (with potential for outdoor seating) with excellent connection to the Cathedral Square streetscape.
The building anchors the Southwest corner of Cathedral Square providing tenants with huge profile and presence. Cathedral Square is reemerging as a key commercial hub with the construction of Te Pae Convention Centre, Turanga (main public library), The Court Theatre (currently under construction) and notable office buildings including Spark Square and The Regent Building. There is excellent access to public car parking including The Terrace, The Crossing, Hereford Street and Lichfield Street. The main bus exchange is a short walk, providing the option of public transport.
Designed by William Clayton and built between 1877-1879* in an Italianate style with classical and Venetian Gothic elements, the building was saved from the 2011 earthquakes by 1990s strengthening works.
