“Fashion outlet centres are well-established internationally, particularly at international airports like Auckland Airport. The development will be anchored in the domestic market while also creating a point of difference and enhanced travel experience for visitors to Auckland,” says Auckland Airport’s General Manager Property & Commercial, Mark Thomson.

Outlet stores have opened up near airports in cities like Brisbane, Perth and Vancouver, offering sought-after premium and lifestyle brands to consumers at often heavily discounted prices.

Mr Thomson said the centre, to be located on undeveloped land on the north eastern side of the precinct, will offer a net lettable area of more than 23,000m2 and have a distinct focus on fashion, accessory, and footwear brands, with a quality food experience and onsite parking on offer to shoppers.

The development will be underpinned by sustainable design principles, with Auckland Airport targeting Green Star design and build. It will have a modern and distinctive New Zealand feel, providing strong connections between indoor and outdoor spaces.

Careful precinct-wide planning and ongoing investment in transport will continue to prioritise terminal-bound traffic to create a seamless travel experience for all road users and visitors to the precinct.

The outlet centre will generate up to 500 new jobs across more than 100 stores and food outlets.

“There’s still work to do in order to bring this project to life, but we have an extraordinary site, the investment fundamentals are strong, and the support from retailers and consumers for this concept has been very encouraging,” says Mr Thomson.



As an industry leader in real estate development, Auckland Airport has developed and manages in excess of 500,000m2 of new facilities ranging from logistics and distribution warehouses to award-winning offices and hotels. We also develop and manage an extensive retail and award winning food & beverage portfolio, consisting of 120+ stores across our international and domestic terminals. This includes bringing first to New Zealand sought-after fashion brands.

As a long-term owner with an investment and development portfolio that exceeds $2.7 billion, we have an inherent interest in developing quality assets and maintaining strong customer relationships.
