Have been living in this area since the 90s and Johnsonville mall was where all the students and locals can get together and enjoy social time together. Please make the area vibrant again for our next generation and let them enjoy it as we did.
Stride - you need to revive the mall and the surroundings shops you own, or sell the lot to a company that actually wants to make it work.
The mall desperately needs an upgrade to what it is now, I've lived in the Johnsonville/newlands area my whole life and seeing the mall get worse over the years, with shops opening then shutting down after a few months because of the rent, there are a few left but not sure how long they will stay, with the building only getting more empty everytime I go there. the original plan to make it 3 stories with a carpark and movie theater was a good idea 20/40 years ago, but stride keeps pushing it back further until no shops remain.
It's is long overdue. The last time the mall got a renovation was in 1992/93. When the mall had shops we all as a community loved. Now it's dead. Still some hard core shops around. But the mall needs a major overhaul
We are one of the largest suburbs, with the worst mall! Imagine the income a revived mall would bring to the area.
Would love to see the mall renovated
i am 100% agree with reviving the Mall

Take note of spaces created in Chch post EQ and Britomart - that's what we need! Mix of cafes, community space and retail! J'ville could be EPIC - but it's currently an embarrassment (save for the library!)
