Bayfair Shopping Centre, (usually referred to as 'Bayfair' by locals), is one of the main shopping malls in Tauranga located in the suburb of Arataki. Bayfair is also known for being the first shopping mall built in Tauranga.

Contents

Bayfair is owned by Fisher Funds Management, and is managed by AMP Capital. [3]

Location

Bayfair Shopping Centre is located on the corner of Maunganui Road (State Highway 2) and Girven Road. The rear of the shopping centre backs onto Farm Road, and Jackson Street and Harris Street are located to the side of the building. It is across Maunganui Road from Omanu Golf Course, and across Girven Road from Baywave (a major aquatic complex).

Facilities

Bayfair has three anchor stores; Countdown, Kmart and Farmers. Up until 2018 it was home to New Zealand's only remaining Woolworths supermarket, which was rebranded using the Australian Woolworths logo rather than rebranding to Countdown (like all other Foodtown and Woolworths stores) because there was already a Countdown store in Bayfair. Farmers is the only part of the shopping centre (other than the carpark) to be on more than one floor. There is a large foodcourt with around a dozen food retailers.

Development

In December 2017, a $115 million redevelopment began on Bayfair. [4] [3] Included in the development was a new cinema with 1,300 seats, and a new Countdown supermarket. The old Countdown was moved. [4] Over 400 workers worked on the construction. [5]

The first stage of the redevelopment opened in December 2018. There were 30 new stores. The redevelopment was expected to end in 2019, [3] which was expected to have 150 stores once finished. [6] In May 2019, six new restaurants opened at Bayfair. [5]
