The northwest region of Auckland is undergoing a transformation, bringing with it improved transport links, new homes and community facilities, and a entertainment and dining options.

Part of the developing Westgate Town Centre, NorthWest Shopping Centre’s planned October opening will house a mix of retail and more than 15 dining options from upmarket cafes to staples such as Kiwi Grill, Hungry Wok, Pita Pit, KiwiYo, and The Coffee Club.

Among the new tenants will be a new, as yet unnamed offer from Café ohSO owner, Edison Zajmi.

The cafe will offer the same menu as Café ohSO, including build your own options, and cabinet foods and will provide a full table service and drinks selection including beer on tap and wine.

Hand blown glass lighting, and a plaid pattern tile floor will be key features of its design.

Mad Mex and Habitual Fix will also join the dining mix.

NorthWest Shopping Centre has a net rentable area of 27,000sqm and includes a Countdown supermarket, Farmers department store, and 100 specialty retail stores.

It is being developed, owned, and managed by NZX-listed DNZ Property Fund, and is located next to the North Western and Upper Harbour motorways.
