Inner-city investor-focused townhouses on Ely Street. Standalone freehold titles, dark brick and white weatherboard, steep gables, red statement doors, private iron-gated courtyard. 6.8% rental return achieved.
A cluster of standalone freehold townhouses on Ely Street, Christchurch — an inner-city infill development designed from the ground up as an investor product, with strong rental returns and an architectural result that holds its own in a dense urban streetscape.
The development is characterised by a distinctive material palette: dark brick and blockwork contrasting with white weatherboard cladding, steep gable rooflines, and red statement entry doors. Shared access is via a private ornate iron-gated driveway, creating individual courtyard addresses within the block.
58B: standalone freehold with five bedrooms each with ensuite, single garage, compact open-plan living, secure fenced courtyard. Designed for cashflow and rentability from the outset — post-quake construction, well within the Four Avenues, close to Hagley Park.
BF Property delivered the inner-city townhouse cluster from consent through to handover. The project demonstrates the team’s capability to produce architecturally considered multi-unit development on tight urban sites — managing boundary tolerances, shared access, and a quality cladding specification within the constraints of an established inner-city block.
Cladding: dark brick and blockwork to the ground floor and accent elements, white weatherboard to the upper storey. Steep gable rooflines in long-run iron. Private shared driveway with ornate iron gate entry, individual courtyard spaces, and red statement entry doors throughout.
Completed 2014. A resolved inner-city townhouse development that holds its own in a dense urban streetscape — architectural character, private outlook, and a shared courtyard address for each unit.
