Westfield Riccarton

[3] A 20,000-square-foot (1,900 m2) extension to the mall opened in November 1970 along with a fourth anchor tenant: Calder Mackay & Co. department store, which at the time had just been acquired by the Farmers Trading Company of Auckland.

[5] A new 20,000 sq ft (1,900 m2) New World supermarket opened in July 1974, followed two months later by a 10,000-square-foot (930 m2) extension housing four stores, bringing the mall to 123,000 square feet (11,400 m2).

[citation needed] In 2003 the Westfield Group began a NZD$90 million redevelopment of the shopping centre which was completed in 2005.

A strong focus of the redevelopment was a leisure component, with the introduction of the six-screen Hoyts Cinema multiplex, which features the second-largest projection screen in New Zealand.

In addition to the cinema, a restaurant and café area was constructed at the Rotherham Street end of the mall.
