Show Place in the suburb of Addington in Christchurch

Show Place – Named after the neighbouring Addington Show Grounds. The Show Grounds were closed in 1996. Show Place was “devised by property developer Ernie Henshaw as a precinct of high specification, energy-efficient buildings aimed mainly at multinationals”. Formed post-1997

As the library website states this is a street designed for businesses. There are insurance companies, IT businesses and one bank here plus many others. There was also a gym with an attached restaurant. The buildings are modern and I couldn’t really tell which ones were pre-earthquake and post earthquake. One was obvious as it was having work being done on it. The area was nicely landscaped with a decent path for walking. I was pleasantly surprised by this street.
A nice wee water feature and I also found a painted rock under a tree.
