Ravenswood Signs on Major Retailers for New Commercial Centre

Ravenswood, the new 1300 section residential community in the heart of North Canterbury, has announced the inclusion of several major retailers as anchor tenants for its new commercial centre.

A New World supermarket, a BP Connect service station with Wild Bean Cafe and a McDonald’s restaurant will be just some of the recognised national brands becoming part of the new development, with further announcements also expected in the coming weeks.

Around 15 hectares at Ravenswood is proposed for commercial and business activity, offering a wide range of options for the fast-growing local community, including cafés and hospitality businesses, a medical centre, childcare, banking services and a range of other retail.

Ravenswood Developments Limited general manager Paul Croft says the commitment of some of the country’s leading retailers highlights the potential for growth and demand in the region.

“It was very important for this new stage of Ravenswood that we underscore the strength of the development by focusing on building the commercial centre alongside our first residential stage,” says Paul Croft.

“This will have an enormously positive effect on the local area, delivering not just greater convenience for the growing local population but also providing more opportunities for residents to work close to home.”

With up to 150 new jobs generated by the major anchor tenants alone, Ravenswood’s new commercial centre is expected to create employment for between 600 and 800 local people – well over double the current 500 employed in the area.

Alongside the commercial precinct, Ravenswood offers a wide range of residential sections, with nearly 200 sections available in Stage One sized from 310m2 to over 700m2.

Ravenswood is located adjacent to State Highway 1, immediately north of the town of Woodend in North Canterbury. For details, section options and prices, and a guide to buying at Ravenswood, visit www.ravenswood.co.nz.
