Sylvia Park is set to be the place to shop in Auckland in 2016, with the official announcement that Zara will be opening its first New Zealand store there late next year!

Zara is known the world over as a leading fashion giant with more than 2,000 stores in 88 countries. Sylvia Park developer Kiwi Property will be investing $11.5 million to accommodate the world-class store on the ground floor of the mid-mall area of the shopping centre.

The news comes only two months after Kiwi Property revealed that Auckland’s largest shopping centre will also play home to our first H&M store, which is set to open its doors around the same time.

And with the recent expansion of other international retailers into New Zealand including French Connection, Topshop, Victoria’s Secret, Nine West and Seed Heritage, we’re excited for the fact we’ll no longer have to travel across the ditch (or around the world!) to get our high street fashion fix.
