Christchurch City Council chose the New Zealand Post building in Hereford Street as its preferred site for the new Civic building at its meeting on 11 October 2007.

The selected site is being developed by a joint venture company, 50 per cent owned by Council and 50 per cent owned by Ngai Tahu Property Ltd.

The joint venture company is responsible for developing the new building as well as its ownership.

Each partner will contribute $56.5million to the redevelopment of the building’s $113million capital cost.

The building, designed to accommodate 1118 staff, will be completed in mid 2010.
