Suburban Retail Developments

Planz has extensive experience in securing resource consents for a wide range of suburban shopping developments adjacent to residential areas across Auckland, Christchurch, and the Selwyn Districts.

  • Rolleston Retail Centre
  • Fendalton Rd – Café, day spa, and specialist clothing retail
  • Selwyn St – Complex of ten retail tenancies set around a new public square and carpark
  • Waimairi Rd – Block of five tenancies with associated carparking
  • Rolleston – Two retail and hospitality blocks, each with five tenancies and associated carparking
  • Edgeware – Renovation and expansion of a Supervalue supermarket
  • Worcester St – Café redevelopment
  • Colombo St – Shipping container-based pop-up retail complex with six hospitality and retail tenants

Planz coordinates acoustic, transport, and urban design experts to ensure retail developments are well-integrated within their neighbourhoods and function successfully for clients.
