History

The mall opened in 1971 with a gross leasable area of 12,212 m2 (131,450 sq ft). It was extended to 17,800 m2 (192,000 sq ft) in 1986. A food hall and fresh food stores were added in a 1991 refurbishment of the lower level. [1] The mall was bought by Westfield Group in May 1996 [1] and named Westfield Glenfield. A major renovation by Westfield in 2000 cost $100 million [4] and enlarged the mall to 29,700 m2, with an increase from two levels to five levels. [1]

In a 2008 rating of New Zealand shopping centres by a retail expert group, Westfield Glenfield received just two out of four stars, the lowest rating in the country (though not the lowest that would have been possible), based on the criteria of amount of shopping area, economic performance, amenity and appeal as well as future growth prospects. The reviewers considered that the centre was facing strong competition, including from its newer and larger sister centre Westfield Albany. The centre's management disagreed and noted that the centre remained a convenient family-focused destination. [5]

On 30 November 2015, Scentre Group, the owner and manager of Westfield Shopping Centres, sold the mall to Ladstone Glenfield Limited, a subsidiary of Ladstone Holdings Limited. [6] The mall was put up for sale again in September 2018. [3]
