The Peterborough
The British-influenced construction in Christchurch, NZ did not fare well after the violent 2011 earthquakes in the area, and, as a result, very few historic buildings remain standing. Ceres NZ will retrofit The Peterborough—once slated for demolition—thus retaining one of the most pristine examples of heritage construction remaining in Christchurch.
Ceres is the Construction Manager for repair of this prominent building. Efforts to save this building were received with great community support, in a city where the mantra to date has been “out with old and in with the new”. The support we received from parties with vested interest ranged from The Historic Places Trust, Christchurch City Council and CERA to the general public, who are excited to retain some heritage amidst the rubble.

Antigua Office Complex
The two-story facility comprises 20 unit-titled commercial office spaces in a U-shaped structure. Ceres is seismically retrofitting the building to 100% Code compliance. The building is currently fully tenanted and sits in a prime real estate location directly across from the site of the first “Significant Building” (the Athletic Center) planned as part of the Central City Rebuild Master Plan.

Victoria Mansions
The Victoria Mansions building on the corner of Victoria and Montreal Streets was severely damaged in the earthquakes. Ceres NZ is the Managing Contractor for the repairs.
