The Landing Wigram is a shopping, dining and services destination at 59 The Runway, in the heart of the Wigram Skies community in Christchurch. Designed around convenience and connection, it brings together restaurants, cafés, local shops, health and beauty providers, professional services and everyday essentials in one easy-to-reach place, with plenty of customer parking and businesses arranged around accessible pedestrian areas.
Dining is at the centre of daily life here: eleven food and beverage businesses cover everything from morning coffee to dinner and drinks. Cocoa Black is the local favourite for coffee, breakfast and lunch, while Joe's Garage serves an all-day menu of breakfast, burgers, coffee and dinner. Newer arrival One Sushi offers fresh sushi, donburi, ramen and Japanese curry beside Subway at 116 The Runway, and the wider lineup takes in The Good Home gastropub, FUSH fish and chips, Hell Pizza, Best Wok Restaurant, Mexicali Fresh, Flavors Kebab & Biryani and Miss Tea's bubble tea.
Rather than a traditional enclosed mall, The Landing is a modern outdoor destination — an open, village-style layout where a single trip can cover a haircut, the groceries and a meal. Whether you're meeting friends for coffee, enjoying a family dinner, shopping locally or ticking off errands, The Landing Wigram is where the community comes together.
Every suburb has a spot that quietly becomes its living room. In Christchurch's south-west, that spot is The Landing Wigram — a shopping, dining and services destination at 59 The Runway, right in the heart of Wigram Skies. Rather than a traditional enclosed mall, The Landing is a modern outdoor centre: its businesses are arranged around accessible pedestrian areas and customer parking, so you can step out of the car and be at a café table, a barber's chair or a checkout within a minute or two.
The food and beverage lineup is the centre's beating heart, and it covers nearly every craving. Coffee-first visitors gravitate to Cocoa Black, a local favourite for espresso, breakfast and casual lunches, while Joe's Garage keeps the tables busy from morning to night with burgers, coffee and a licensed all-day menu.
Lunch is a choose-your-own adventure. Subway builds subs, wraps and salads made your way; Mexicali Fresh turns out burritos, tacos and bowls with beer and wine on the side; and One Sushi — the centre's newest arrival — fills the cabinet with fresh sushi alongside donburi, ramen and Japanese curry.
When the day calls for a proper sit-down meal, The Good Home gastropub does pub dining with beer, wine, family tables and screens for watching sport. Hell Pizza handles pizza night with sides and a licence of its own; Best Wok Restaurant serves Chinese favourites with noodles and rice, dine-in or takeaway; Flavors Kebab & Biryani brings authentic Indian curries, kebabs and biryani with halal options; and FUSH plates up fresh fish, chips, burgers and seafood. Miss Tea rounds it all out with bubble tea, fruit tea and iced drinks for the sweet-toothed.
One Sushi's opening beside Subway at 116 The Runway added a distinctly Japanese dimension to the lineup. Expect a cabinet of fresh sushi rolls — salmon, prawn and chicken katsu among them — plus saucy katsu bowls topped with Japanese sauce and mayonnaise, and convenient takeaway meals for busy evenings. It is exactly the kind of addition that makes the centre worth watching: the mix of businesses at The Landing keeps evolving, and new openings are announced on the centre's website and Facebook page.
Dining is only part of the story. The Landing also gathers health and beauty providers — the neighbourhood barber among them — alongside professional services and everyday essentials, so the week's errands can be stacked into a single trip. The centre runs a What's On page for local happenings, and retail space is periodically available for lease, which is how new businesses keep joining the mix.
The address is 59 The Runway, Wigram, Christchurch 8042. Parking is available throughout the centre, close to every door — a small thing that makes a big difference on school-run mornings and during the working week. Because The Landing is an outdoor format rather than an enclosed mall, it is worth dressing for the weather; the payoff is an open-air, village-style feel that many locals prefer.
Whether you're meeting friends for coffee, feeding the family on a Friday night, grabbing sushi on the way home or ticking off errands, The Landing was designed around a simple idea: convenience and connection. In Wigram Skies, this is where the community comes together.
