Wigram Skies is an exciting community built on the site of the former Wigram Aerodrome. In 1997 Ngāi Tahu Property purchased the former Wigram Aerodrome site with the long term view of subdividing the land and creating a sustainable, masterplanned community.
Over the ensuing years significant research, planning and construction have gone into creating Wigram Skies; underpinned by an awareness of the responsibility Ngāi Tahu Property has to the land, the history of the site and all those that have come before us.
The name Wigram Skies reflects the land's history as a flight school and an air force base, along with Ngāi Tahu Property's vision for the future and the creation of a vibrant community. Wigram's history remains an integral part of the community and is remembered in the Air Force Museum, historic buildings and street names. Rich in heritage and character, Wigram Skies Christchurch development looks forward to an equally bright future; setting the standard for modern, innovative and convenient living.
