The Tannery’s evolution was driven by growing demand for boutique retail and hospitality options, as well as the need to address the significant earthquake damage in the area. All consents were obtained on a non-notified basis, following careful assessment of potential impacts on economic distribution, reverse sensitivity, traffic, and waterway values. Additionally, Planz contributed to the Christchurch District Plan Review, ensuring the Plan supported the regeneration of brownfield areas like The Tannery.

This project won an NZPI Commendations in 2014.
