This 4500 square metre project sits on the original Palmers Garden Centre in West Auckland.
Neighbour permission was obtained to transform this site into a vibrant local centre servicing the community. The design concept was to create an Urban Village type environment with high quality interior and exterior spaces to meet, shop, and relax in.
Retail offerings include a petrol station, daycare, food outlets and gym for the convenience of locals.
