History and development
Plans for an American-style shopping centre in Manurewa began in the early 1960s. Manurewa was chosen due to its increasing population, and its proximity to the industrial areas in Wiri.[1] The centre was opened in November 1967 and developed by London based Hammerson Property & Investment Trust, who had developed the first mall in Auckland, LynnMall.[2] The major tenants of the mall at opening were Farmers, who took up a fifth of the retail space, and Woolworths supermarket.[1] It was Auckland's third major mall after LynnMall and the Pakuranga Town Centre.[2]
During 1987, the centre was extensively remodeled and was redesigned from an open air to an enclosed centre.
In 2016, Southmall Manurewa was nominated as one of the 'saddest' malls in New Zealand, citing a lack of development, an "uninviting and dangerous" vibe and Westfield Manukau City in the nearby vicinity attracting more appeal from shoppers.[3]
