Ponsonby Central, in retrospect and in prospect.
With another year gone in a flash we look back on the early days and the exciting evolution that lays ahead.Seven years on and, although details may have evolved, the same under-designed, rustic industrial feel that brings us arguably the best of everything food and drink has to offer, remains.
In the early days the butcher, the baker and the fresh vege retailer gave life to a bustling market place. However, as Neat Meat and Ceres’ businesses grew, their focus moved to their wholesale and exporting operations. So we welcomed some more passionate foodies into our hood, bringing more of what you love, authentic global flavours and street food.
With the constant ‘heart of Ponsonby’ ethos in mind, the expansion that will see the site double in size is on the horizon and, boy, does it look good. The literal building blocks for this development, in the form of recycled bricks, have been delivered from Christchurch and are ready to be re-homed as the foundation of more eateries, more shops, more car parks and the addition of character office spaces. In the Ponsonby Central ‘pit’, as it is fondly known by employees, construction has officially reached the bottom and the only way now is up.
