Northlands Shopping Centre

Northlands Shopping Centre, in Christchurch, New Zealand, is the South Island's second-largest mall. Founded in 1967, it is owned by Mackersy Northlands Limited Partnership.

The Shopping centre is single-level, with over 110 tenants, including shops, bars, cafés and restaurants. It also has a multistorey car park. The main occupants of the shopping centre are Farmers department store, The Warehouse retail store, Hoyts cinema, Pak'nSave supermarket (until 2024), and Woolworths New Zealand supermarket. The mall was extended with addition of food court, "winter garden" style dining conservatory, and outdoor seating area.

History
Plans for the shopping centre were announced in July 1966. The first stage would be the construction of a 50000 sqft Hay's department store and supermarket, with the second stage being the construction of the 40000 sqft mall with a variety store, supermarket and around 25 specialty stores. The entire shopping centre would include off-street parking for 500–600 cars and would cost £1 million to construct. Construction began on the Hay's store in September 1966 followed by the mall in February 1967.

The Hay's store opened to shoppers on 18 October 1967, with the full shopping centre with 22 stores opening two weeks later on 1 November 1967. On the opening day of the Hay's store, traffic trying to enter the carpark backed up along Main North Road, at times blocking the Harewood Road roundabout 200 metres south of the shopping centre. On 3 November 1967, the shopping centre's first Friday late-night opening, traffic backed up along Main North Road and Papanui Road at times as far back as Blighs Road, 700 metres south of the shopping centre.

A major extension to Northlands opened on 10 October 1979, bringing the mall to 44 stores and 160000 sqft, including a New World supermarket.

The building was extensively strengthened after the 2011 Christchurch earthquake.

In December 2022 Kiwi Property arranged a conditional deal to sell the shopping centre to MP Holdings 5 Ltd. a Queenstown based company owned by Mackersy Property, the deal is subject to approval from the Kiwi Property board.
