Tower Junction is an open-air shopping centre on Whiteleigh Avenue in Addington, Christchurch, reached from Blenheim Road and Whiteleigh Avenue. It opened in 2002 and has about 37,000 square metres of retail floor space. It is known for large-format retail, with a long list of national and international retailers, shops, cafés, licensed venues and restaurants, including cuisines from around the world.
Customers say it has plenty of drive-to-the-door parking, and that the large Bunnings Warehouse is a highlight. Some find the food and drink options worth a visit, and others say the retail prices are reasonable. The centre was redeveloped in 2018, with two new buildings for food, beverage and retail, and it has carved panels and artwork by Māori artists. It is owned and managed by Ngāi Tahu Property. Our pick in Addington for a large-format shopping trip with easy parking.
