Developed by Nelson-based Gibbons, the 12-month build was completed just as Covid-19 put New Zealand into lockdown. Briscoes and Rebel sport opened the doors to their new stores under level 2, with a further grand opening under level 1. The building comprises 4250sqm of retail and back of house on a 4000sqm site. The additional space was achieved by build- ing over an adjacent open drain to provide the pedestrian access and floor area needed to unlock the development. This approach also had ecological benefits with the health of the stream being improved by the ac- tions of this development. Gibbons development project manager Simon Dobson says there were no major challenges that as a collective, the team could not overcome. “We look to our local subcontractors and consult- ants for their expertise,” he says. “Their support is imperative to the delivery of any project, and again they were key to the success of this project, and we thank them for their input.” He says Gibbons, its consultants, and the con- struction team from Gibbons Naylor are all proud of what has been achieved for Nelson city, and Gibbons takes its satisfaction from the fact that the Briscoe Group looked to to provide a bespoke solution.
