Scentre Group is the name behind some of Australia’s biggest and best shopping centres. Their recently completed Westfield Chermside in Brisbane was named on the shortlist for this year’s World Architecture Festival. The company is no stranger to pushing the boundaries of the traditional shopping centre experience.
For the company’s largest New Zealand project to date, they are redeveloping the 277 Broadway site along with the adjacent site, 309 Broadway, into a premium lifestyle hub. The new Westfield Newmarket will include six levels of retail between the two buildings – which will be connected by a pedestrian bridge over Mortimer Pass – along with a rooftop dining precinct and cinema on the top levels of the 309 site. The 277 site will also include a market-style fresh food experience offering cafés, fresh produce and much more.
