Mark Herring Provides Majority of Lighting Solutions to Recently Re-Opened Christchurch City Mall
The revitalised City Mall with its new-look pedestrian and shopping precinct was officially opened on the 17th of December by Mayor Bob Parker. The official opening was celebrated with the inclusion of a horse-drawn historic tram along tracks laid in the mall. Work started on Project City Mall in August 2007 with the aim of creating a more attractive, vibrant city centre for the public to enjoy. The two-year project to bring life back to City Mall has been a success, receiving positive feedback from retailers and the general public. Christchurch Mayor Bob Parker says the renovation of City Mall is a key component of the Council’s strategy to revitalise the Central City.
The revitalisation of the Central City pedestrian mall was more than just a repaving project. It included an overhaul of the entire space, including the development of recreation and events areas, more plantings, new street furniture, improved lighting, public artworks and the removal of two air bridges.
Mark Herring Lighting was proud to be involved with the project, supplying the majority of the lighting used throughout the redevelopment, including overhead lighting, architectural sculpture spots and in ground up-lights.
