Space for Lease in Well-Known Christchurch Building

New livery for a familiar Christchurch building offers an opportunity for a business to re-locate to the fringes of the city.

The building at 906 Colombo Street was purpose-built in the 1950s to be the home of the Kingscote family’s liquor importing business. It won an award soon after for its use of concrete.

For the past ten years, it has housed the Pegasus Medical Group, but from the beginning of August it will become known as Barnardos House.

Simes marketing agent Rob Logie says Barnardos, the early childhood education and child and family services organisation, has taken a ten-year lease for three-quarters of the building, leaving the top floor available for immediate lease. That lease is for 160 square metres of office space with six allocated car parks.
