Interest from would-be buyers in taxpayer-owned sites in central Christchurch has been described as encouraging.
Crown rebuild company Ōtākaro has been seeking expressions of interest in several properties left over after being acquired for rebuild projects.
They include the Madras St block where a demonstration housing village plan was abandoned, a Cambridge Tce site in the north frame, and Tuam and St Asaph St sites in the south frame.
Deadlines for expressions of interest in three of the sites closed last week.
