Mount Central: A New Urban Landmark

Located at the bustling intersection of Maunganui Road and Banks Avenue, Mount Central is a standout retail destination in the Bay of Plenty. This project, designed by First Principles Architects & Interiors, integrates seamlessly into the urban landscape of The Mount, connecting Pilot Bay and the main beach with Main Street.

This iconic project features JSC's random width and depth (RWD) cedar weatherboards, enhancing its connection with the natural surroundings and contributing to its warm, inviting aesthetic.

Key Features:

• Award-Winning Design: Received the Retail Architecture Silver Award at the New Zealand Commercial Project Awards 2019.
• Strategic Location: Serves as a vital link between popular local beaches and downtown areas, bolstering pedestrian flow.
• Innovative Use of Space: Features an "Outdoor Room," a covered pedestrian street that enhances the site's visibility and accessibility.
• Diverse Tenant Mix: Houses a combination of dining and retail spaces, including a restaurant, café, and boutique stores, all surrounding a central customer car park.

Seton Investment envisioned Mount Central as a vibrant and successful retail corner that embodies the lively Mount lifestyle. The project utilises a blend of rustic cedar cladding and modern design elements to create a dynamic community hub, inviting both locals and visitors to gather and enjoy.
