Big box property owner Investore may build a new Countdown in Kaiapoi

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from Northern Outlook

Residents of Kaiapoi may have a new Countdown supermarket in the future with box retail landlord Investore Property agreeing in principle to build a supermarket there for Countdown owner Woolworths NZ.

The company announced it had an agreement to buy a 3.5-hectare parcel of development land at Waimak Junction for $10.5 million, conditional on receipt of resource consents and entering into a final documented agreement to lease with Woolworths NZ. The site is next to an existing McKeown’s service station.

The remaining 1.6ha would be held for future development. The total cost of the land and stage one development of the supermarket was expected to be $31m.
