Plaza ‘transformation’ planned

Coast Plaza in Whangaparaoa, which went on the market around eight months ago, has so far not been sold and remains in the hands of Greenwhale Holdings.

Last month Colliers International, which manages the centre, said in a press release that a “significant transformation” of the centre is planned.

This will include “revitalised public spaces, better community connectivity and two new precincts providing a range of food, beverage, health and wellness offerings”.

New leases have been signed for a childcare facility and a Chipmunks Kids Playland and works to facilitate those spaces will commence in the next three months.

In the outdoor area on Main Street (opposite the library), a new play area and retail kiosk for pop up operators will be added.

Colliers International says the company is still working on final plans for the new precincts and hopes to reveal more detail as work progresses over the coming months.
