Richmond’s proposed New World supermarket at Three Brothers’ Corner will get underway this year and is expected to be completed in 2025.
Foodstuffs South Island head of property strategy, Rebecca Parish, says consenting work is progressing with the Tasman District Council and preparations are being made for site works. Construction is scheduled to begin in the second half of this year and is due to be completed next year.
The company has owned the 1.64ha site on the corner of Bateup Rd and Gladstone Rd since 2007 and was granted consent in 2016 for a 4,000 square metre supermarket and two retail tenancies.
Early last year, former tenant Bay Landscapes and Garden Centre packed up and moved off the site before Foodstuffs moved in and prepared it for the future supermarket.
Rebecca says Foodstuffs South Island is excited about delivering a brand-new New World store to the Richmond community which will provide locals and visitors with access to a convenient, fresh and contemporary store.
