Phoenix Mall

The development of Clyde Road from the mid twentieth century resulted in the commercial area at Browns Bay being cut off from the beachfront. The new mall was erected in the early 1990s to reconnect the suburban shopping area with the sea. The design by Isthmus Group won the 1993 George Malcolm award for project design at the New Zealand Institute of Landscape Architects/Monier Awards, the judges noting that the development had transformed an ordinary suburban shopping area into a Riviera style environment. When it opened, it was named the Phoenix Mall because of the Phoenix palms that flanked the two entrances.
