Investment Highlights
Dress Smart Hornby represents the only dedicated outlet shopping destination in the South Island. Positioned in the heart of Christchurch’s growing western retail corridor, the centre benefits from a strong regional draw, excellent accessibility, and a robust trade area growing in size, affluence, and density.
Anchored by 45 tenants, including internationally renowned brands such as Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger, Dress Smart Hornby delivers a curated, full-format outlet experience across apparel, footwear, and lifestyle categories. As at April 2025, the centre recorded robust annual sales of $56.3 million* (excl. GST), equating to $7,899 per sqm*. With a low vacancy rate of just 2.9%* and sustained tenant demand, the asset continues to perform strongly. Combined with CPI-indexed, fixed and market rent mechanisms, strong occupancy, and a regional monopoly position in its asset class, Dress Smart Hornby offers a compelling investment proposition.
The current owner is currently undertaking a comprehensive capital expenditure programme, including seismic strengthening (minimum of 67% NBS (IL2) - targeted upon completion of current works and subject to confirmation), staged roof replacement, carpark waterproofing, and key plant upgrades. These works, due for completion by Q3/Q4 2025, will enhance asset resilience, ensure compliance, and de-risk ownership for incoming investors.
