Partly to change this, Westfield invested around NZ$55 million in the early 2000s to extend and renovate the centre.In a 2008 rating of New Zealand shopping centres by a retail expert group, Westfield St Lukes received three and a half stars, just under the maximum rating of four stars, based on the criteria of amount of shopping area, economic performance, amenity and appeal as well as future growth prospects.Expansion plansIn 2009, Westfield applied for a change to the District Plan which would allow the shopping centre to be extended to 92,500m2, with up to 77,500m2 of shops and cafes as well as 15,000m2 of office space and up to six storeys of building – which would make the centre larger than any other shopping centre in New Zealand. Westfield already own much of the properties in the north of the site, where it wants to expand, but some neighbours and groups have announced they will fight the mall expansion, primarily because of the extra traffic effects.

Always like this mall since I was a teenager! So sad we have to move to North Shore from Sandringham; takes a bit longer to go to Westfield Mall at St Lukes. It has heaps of parking, eateries, banks, spent less than one hour there and you get things done easily! This place never stops surprising the visitors or...

Read moreI would like to take this opportunity to say thank you very much to one of Westfield St Lukes management staff Jae for his honesty with the return of my handbag which I had left in a shopping trolley in a car park area. I arrived on my driveway before i hop out of the car & went to crab my bag & in my horror realised that my bag is not there.
I knew my handbag was left in a shopping trolley in car park area, I immediately thinking oh well it’s definitely gone as when I left the mall the car park was very busy, but to my biggest surprise of all. My phone rang & it was my partner to tell me that Jae from Westfield Stlukes had called to say that he’s found a handbag in a car park & gave my partner my details.
I can’t thank Jae enough because my passport was in my bag & we’re leaving for a holiday tomorrow, money and some of my ID’s were more important to me than money as they it would have definitely cost me more money & time to replace them. I did receive everything back & nothing was missing by the way. It could have been my worst nightmare ever if had not lost passport with no time to get a replacement one in time.
My partner collected my bag from Jae & try giving him a reward but Jae won’t take a gift, but he was just happy with a simple thank you.
It’s near impossible to find honest people like Jae & we definitely need more people like Jae.
Thank you so much Jae, you’re absolute rock star & great asset to your business.
Cheers Monique &...
