The Palms Shopping Centre is a shopping mall located in the Christchurch, New Zealand suburb of Shirley, 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) from the city's CBD.

Description

The Palms with liquefaction after the February 2011 Christchurch earthquake

The mall consists of 110 retailers, including the first Reading Cinemas multiplex in Christchurch. In 2003, a $50 million NZD upgrade was completed, nearly doubling the size to 34,000 m.[2] The entry plaza of the mall won an NZILA Silver award for landscape design in 2004.[3]

The Palms was damaged in the February 2011 Christchurch earthquake[4] and remained closed for over six months while building reinforcement and repairs were carried out. The mall reopened to the public on 6 September 2011, although several stores, including two of the three anchor tenants, remained closed, reopening later in November.[5]
