Christchurch is covered here by 2 buildings holding 18 office units between them, sized from 5 to 228 m² with a median of 37 m². A tenant fitting out four to six desks lands exactly on that median, while anything approaching the 228 m² ceiling comes from the thin top end of an 18-unit pool — worth checking availability before a search starts, because 2 buildings cannot absorb much turnover.
Rent expectations in Christchurch are narrow: $207 to $335 per m² a year, with the median at $311. A ceiling only about 60% above the floor means the median, not the low figure, is the honest budgeting number — at $311, a median 37 m² suite prices at roughly $11,500 a year before services and parking.
Both Christchurch addresses are conventional business locations rather than fringe ones: Durham Street North sits inside the rebuilt central grid, and Hazeldean Road is in Addington, just south-west of the centre. Christchurch commuting runs on buses and cars rather than rail, so with only 2 buildings on the list the real decision is CBD versus Addington, and parking allocation is the lease term worth pressing on.
