Anew $23 million retail and food hub,to<br />
be calledRiver Crossing,isasure sign<br />
Mid Canterburyisdefinitely open for<br />
business, says Liz McMillan.<br />
The deputy mayor joined developer<br />
Tricroft, anchor tenant Kmart and other<br />
main players in the project for a<br />
ceremonial shovelling of shingle this<br />
week.<br />
River Crossingwill be builtalongside<br />
CountdownSouth, on SouthStreet, and<br />
will share abigger road entrance.<br />
Anew 300car carpark will serve two<br />
buildings; one will house Kmart and<br />
Couplands Bakery,which will relocate<br />
from East Street, and the other will house<br />
Coffee Culture and other food and<br />
beverage businesses currently in<br />
negotiation to be tenants.<br />
Work will begin early 2021,when old<br />
buildings on the site will be demolished<br />
and the ground leveled for construction.<br />
The whole complex is expected to<br />
generate 150 new jobs,70 alone in Kmart,<br />
and shouldbeopen by late 2022.<br />
The development was planned precovid<br />
and Tricroft principal Dave<br />
Williamshad no intention of letting the<br />
pandemic stop him investing in his home<br />
town.<br />
He’s not aman who likes the limelight,<br />
but he was happy to host people important<br />
to the project this week.<br />
Ahuge white shipping container has<br />
been moved onto the road frontage at the<br />
site and an artist’s impression of the<br />
development is fixed to it. It will be built<br />
by ACL and Thompson Construction.<br />
