Dublin Central: A New Standard of Urban Living in Christchurch

By Home Trends Builders Ltd

Welcome to Dublin Central — where bold design meets luxurious urban living in the heart of Christchurch. Developed by Home Trends Builders Ltd, this visionary project sets a new benchmark for inner-city residences, blending international design cues with local sensibility.

Project Vision: Reimagining City Living

Dublin Central was born from a desire to offer something different — a more elevated, bespoke city living experience in Christchurch. Traditionally, urban apartments have leaned toward compact and utilitarian. Dublin Central challenges that norm by delivering spacious, design-led homes shaped for lifestyle and longevity.

Positioned on perfectly shaped land just steps from the central city yet tucked quietly on Dublin Street, this location provides the best of both worlds: vibrancy and serenity. Each home is held under a freehold title, with no body corporate — giving homeowners complete independence and long-term value.

Design & Architecture: Where Form Meets Flair

Home Trends Builders partnered with multi-award-winning designer Steve Butterworth and interior stylist Kirsty Davis to shape the aesthetic of Dublin Central. The result? Four bold and expressive homes that push the boundaries of urban design in Christchurch.

From the Italian handmade green-glazed brick façade to the cedar panelling, mechanical shutters, and natural stone interiors, every detail has been carefully considered. Inside, you’ll find rich textures, moody tones, and architectural elements like steel-framed glass doors and ambient lighting that create a truly refined atmosphere.

Functionality, Sustainability & Lifestyle

Beyond good looks, Dublin Central is built to perform. Energy-efficient materials such as low-carbon concrete, solar panels, wool carpet, and low-E glass windows support sustainable living, while thoughtful layout decisions maximise space, light, and flow.

Each residence includes:

• A designer kitchen with scullery and high-end appliances 
• Multiple powder rooms for everyday convenience 
• A rooftop Skydeck complete with bar, outdoor kitchen, and hot tub-ready zones for unparalleled entertaining 

Construction Timeline & Availability

Construction began in May 2025, with completion scheduled for mid-2026. Despite early regulatory challenges, the project team overcame hurdles through expert collaboration and unwavering vision.
Only four homes are being built — and with one already pre-sold, interest is expected to move quickly when marketing officially launches in July 2025.

A Prime Inner-City Location

Tucked away just off the city centre, Dublin Central offers a quiet retreat with all the perks of central living. Residents will enjoy walking distance to Hagley Park, cultural destinations, boutique cafes, and top-tier schools — all while living on a peaceful, tree-lined street with four-car garages and rooftop views.

At its core, Dublin Central isn’t just about homes — it’s about raising the bar for what urban living can be. From its world-class finishes to its low-maintenance, high-function design, this development is a standout in both vision and execution.

With over 40 years of experience, Home Trends Builders Ltd continues to deliver exceptional homes that embody quality, craftsmanship, and lifestyle-driven design. Dublin Central is the next chapter in that story — and a bold step forward for Christchurch living.
