The airport has unveiled plans to develop a quality fashion outlet centre on the edge of the airport precinct that will house more than 100 stores and food outlets.
The centre, which is to be located on undeveloped land on the north-eastern side of the precinct, will offer a net lettable area of more than 23,000sq m and have a distinct focus on fashion, accessory and footwear brands whilst also offering a top quality food experience.
According to General Manager of Property and Commercial, Mark Thompson, there is a significant gap in the market for a purpose-built fashion outlet centre and the airport has been exploring the concept for several years. He says: “We are pleased to be introducing this development to Auckland. It will be the first of its kind in New Zealand, offering an exciting new shopping experience for Kiwis and travellers arriving at and departing from the airport.”
Careful precinct-wide planning and ongoing investment in transport will continue to prioritise terminal-bound traffic and enable public transport, creating a seamless travel experience for all visitors to the precinct. Outlet centre opening hours will be timed to avoid flight schedule peaks.
