Westfield St Lukes is one of the big three shopping centres in the western suburbs of Auckland, New Zealand, and is located on St Lukes Road. It receives about 6 million shopper visits annually.[2] With 43,000 m² gross floor area (2002 data),[3] it features a Farmers, K mart, Foodtown, a Village SKYCITY 8 screen cinema complex and approximately 125 shops (2004 data).[4] Its main competition is LynnMall in New Lynn and Westfield WestCity in Henderson.
The centre opened in 1971 and is one of the oldest in New Zealand. About 100,000 people visited it on opening day. At the time it was considered a fresh style of shopping, but since then the closed-in nature of the centre (with little in terms of outside features save signage and doors) has come to be considered somewhat bland and outmoded. Partly to change this, Westfield has invested around NZ$55 million in the early 2000s to extend and renovate the centre.[5]
