Construction Starting at The Lifestyle Centre

We’re excited to announce that next year there’ll be more to love at Tauranga Crossing.

Have you noticed the big green field between BP and Farmers? You might drive past it every day without much thought, or you might have visited the carnival there earlier this year. Next year, you’ll be sure not to miss it!

We’ll be starting construction at The Lifestyle Centre soon, officially breaking ground on Wednesday 12 October 2022.

The Tauranga Crossing Lifestyle Centre is located at the junction of the State Highways 29 and 36 which serve both Tauranga and the broader Bay of Plenty region.  This Lifestyle Centre expansion will bring new high quality shopping opportunities to the wider Bay of Plenty region, providing new 5,760sqm and 850sqm large format retail stores, and 185 carparks.

The building will be ready for stores to complete their fit-outs in August 2023, with an anticipated public opening date of late 2023.  The new retailers will be announced early 2023.

Tauranga Crossing CEO Lauren Riley says, “We are excited to break ground at Tauranga Crossing Lifestyle Centre.  This represents the next stage of our long-term plans for this regional hub and popular destination. The upcoming works will strengthen the retail offer at Tauranga Crossing by adding to our existing mix of retail.  We have strong interest already and look forward to announcing further new retail choices for our community.”
