Some of New Zealand's best known names in retailing will feature in developments due to open in Tauriko and Pyes Pa over the next 15 months.
First up will be Redline Holdings' $11 million development in Pyes Pa Rd where a major supermarket brand and a privately-owned aquatic centre will anchor the project.
Developer Terry Scott said builders were due to move on to the site next week with completion expected by next May. It will include a health centre, pharmacy and restaurant.
However the 1.5ha development will be dwarfed by Tauranga Crossing at Tauriko where the first stage scheduled to open in early 2016 will include The Warehouse, Warehouse Stationery, Warehouse-owned Noel Leeming and a Pak 'n Save supermarket.
Warehouse communications manager Joanne Fullam said the first phase of building would include another 25 to 30 stores providing convenience food, cafes, service retail and other general merchandising.
