Strand Arcade

Auckland, NOVA ZELANDA 2023

 

The Strand Arcade is a historic shopping arcade located on Queen Street, in the heart of Auckland's central business district, New Zealand. Opened in 1910, it is one of the city's oldest arcades and stands out for its Edwardian architecture, which has remained largely unchanged since its construction. Commissioned by Sir Arthur M. Myers in 1899, the building was rebuilt in 1910 after a fire, becoming a prominent example of the architecture of that era.

The arcade houses a variety of boutique shops on the main floor and an expansive Asian-inspired food court on the lower level.

Additionally, the Strand Arcade has witnessed numerous significant events over the years, from Christmas parades to concerts by renowned artists, reflecting its importance in Auckland's cultural life.

Recently, the arcade has undergone revitalization with the addition of new shops and dining spaces, attracting both locals and tourists seeking a unique shopping experience in a historic setting.
