Your Place, Your Space

Play. Socialise. Discover.
You will experience it all at The Grand.

Housed in the 140-year-old former Chief Post Office in Cathedral Square, The Grand has been part of the very fabric of this city for generations. The building has stood the tests of time, city developments, and earthquakes, and is as impressive today as the day it was built. A Grand old Lady, a part of our fabric and as it has always been, Your Place, Your Space.

We’re turning The Grand into a world-class destination for our world-class city, complete with an artisan French bakery, people-focused food court experience, visitor information centre, iconic restaurants, and bars and one of New Zealand’s largest outdoor plazas.

We need your help: take ownership of your city’s future with an investment in The Grand and secure your piece of Christchurch’s history and future.

The Grand will be the leased venue inside the Old Chief Post Office Building with access onto the Square. The Grand will own and operate all businesses occupying the leased building, but not the building itself.
