Fireworks In West Auckland As Prime Minister Takes The Plunge

The Prime Minister has been confirmed to re-open Lynn Mall and push the plunger on the largest land-based fireworks display West Auckland has seen on 16 July.

"We're really looking forward to the grand opening and having the Prime Minister there will make it all the more significant," said Head of Property for AMP Asset Management, James Darkins.

The two and a half year refurbishment project concludes this week, transforming one of New Zealand's largest malls into its newest.

"We wanted to say thank you to the West Auckland community, and a big fireworks show seemed an exciting way to do this," said Mr Darkins.

"We'd like as many people to attend as possible. The best places for parking will be in the New Lynn town centre car park and the top level car park at LynMall. People should be in position by 7pm."

The refurbishment began in early 1997 and was phased to allow continual trading and public access to the centre during construction. The new look LynnMall features high ceilings, functional and ornate finishes, terrazyte floors and three spectacular atriums.

The new LynnMall houses 110 retail premises and around 600 predominantly West Auckland employees. The centre averaged 120,000 visitors a week prior to development, a figure that is expected to rise after the grand opening.

AMP Asset Management is New Zealand's largest investment company managing funds of over $9 billion. It is also the country's largest private property investment company, managing a property portfolio of 1.4 billion.

The Auckland-based company has increased its estimate to build the centre to between $470 million and $530 million as the construction boom across the country drives up building costs and design changes add to the bill.
