revitalising christchurch

On February 22, 2011 a magnitude 6.3 earthquake struck Christchurch, changing our city forever. Since this tragic event, we have been rebuilding our lives and city.

In October 2011, the Re:Start Container Mall opened as a temporary solution to start to bring some life back into the CBD. It became an international symbol of post-quake Christchurch innovation which lasted five-and-a-half-years...

Seven years on, it is time to transition this brilliant but temporary solution into something permanent with the ability to bring a long term vibrancy to the city centre.

In the heart of the CBD, overlooking the Avon River we proudly bring you Riverside Market, a 7-day indoor farmers' market selling local produce, meat, seafood, baked goods, coffee and more. Alongside the market is Riverside Lanes, a destination boutique shopping experience with major fashion brands confirmed and even more dining options to add to those at the market.

Supporting Local

Community, Business & the Environment

Bringing together the reliability of an enclosed, 7-day-trading shopping environment with the fresh, local, vibrancy of a market in the heart of the Christchurch CBD.

Supporting local growers and small businesses by purchasing fresh, organic produce, meat, seafood, freshly baked goods, coffee and more. A strong point of a local market is a reduced carbon footprint, minimising food packaging and waste and travel both for producers and purchasers of locally grown food.

As vibrant & refreshing as it is environmentally & economically beneficial, Riverside Market is a bustling hub of community.

Fresh, seasonal, locally grown fruit & veges - open 7 days a week

Riverside Market offers vibrancy for locals both working and living in the inner city as well as a destination for visitors and tourists. 3,000 carparks within 500 metres makes the market very accessible. Directly connected is Riverside Lanes offering more retail shopping options in a uniquely Christchurch city environment.
