Top floor dining & gourmet food for $720m Newmarket redevelopment

Rooftop dining will add to the lifestyle experience planned for the new Westfield redevelopment of 277 shopping centre and the adjoining former site of Farmers in Newmarket.

According to the NZ Herald premium department store, David Jones, is set to be a key piece in a new $NZ790 million Westfield development in Auckland which will feature more than 200 stores over five levels. With Farmers, Countdown and Event Cinemas confirmed, Westfield Newmarket will deliver a world of fashion and beauty, immersive lifestyle experiences, rooftop dining and entertainment along with a gourmet market.

The new development will focus on premium fashion, food and technology, which fits with David Jones’ focus on developing a high-end food offering for consumers.

The 2017 preliminary report of its parent company Woolworths Holdings Ltd said David Jones will “provide a market leading food experience by investing $100 million over the next three years in existing and new stores.”
