Alexandra Park gets closer to confirming hospitality operators

In the coming months Alexandra Park will be unveiling some big hospitality names who are set to be a key part of Auckland’s newest urban village - now under construction and due to open from the middle of next year.

Alexandra Park CEO Dominique Dowding says securing the best retail operators and the right hospitality mix remains is at the forefront of their lease negotiations for the 19 commercial sites that will sit below high-end freehold apartments.

“Excitement is building and we’ll soon be in a position to announce the personalities and well respected hospitality entities that are committing to our world-class urban village vision,” she says.

Late last year Alexandra Park and FreshChoice announced to truly a unique grocery concept to open in the Green Lane West development next year when the first residents start moving in.

Describing it as “delicatessen, café, and fresh foods market fusion,” Ms Dowding says securing a quality grocer has helped spark interest from other prospective commercial tenants.

“What is really appealing to food and beverage is the fact that we’re creating our own high street, with plenty of opportunity of alfresco dining in and around attractive promenades and public spaces.

“Our commitment to world-class urban design, a quality ambience, and the certainty of a bustling and attractive environment has been critical to getting some of the best hospitality operators to the table. And I’m pleased to say good news is imminent.”

Ms Dowding says Alexandra Park is determined to create a new heart for Epsom.

“We’ve had considerable interest and we’re now in the fortunate position of being able to work with the best operators and those who can offer consumers something different.

“Alexandra Park is set to completely transform. We are committed to delivering an absolutely stunning food and beverage destination for café and restaurant lovers alike,” says Ms Dowding.

Increasing speculation about which hospitality operators are coming to Alexandra Park is also sparking extra interest in apartment sales. The apartment display suite is open from 12pm to 4pm daily or by appointment by calling 0800-275-484 or visiting www.apliving.co.nz
