Auckland's long-awaited new retail and dining precinct, Commercial Bay, has opened its doors just days after the country entered Alert Level 1.
The $1 billion-dollar development, located on Auckland's Queen Street, boasts 120 local and international retailers across fashion, food and beverage, beauty and specialty retail, owner Precinct Properties said today in a press release.
Commercial Bay formally opened its doors to the public this morning following a ribbon-cutting ceremony with Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and Auckland Mayor Phil Goff.

Precinct Properties chief executive Scott Pritchard said they were "delighted to welcome Aucklanders and visitors to a new and exciting part of the city" in spite of the "extraordinary circumstances we are opening under".
Some of the retailers on offer include Superette, Twenty-Seven Names and Edmund Hillary. New arrival Ingrid Starnes is set to shut all its retail stores at the end of August.
Commercial Bay will also be home to a range of international designer stores, including Hugo Boss, Calvin Klein, Dior Cosmetics and Tommy Hilfiger.
The mall will also welcome foodies to Harbour Eats, a food hall with 26 different vendors including Latin American restaurant South American Oven, London cocktail bar Liquorette and Korean fusion restaurant GoChu.
Commercial Bay retailers will be open between 9am and 6pm and Harbour Eats will be open from 7am to 10pm.
